I don’t want to give away the plot line as it will spoil the story for those that choose to read this book. But what I will say is all is not what it seems, and that’s evident from very early on...

Whilst I found the book to be well written, and not heavily wordy, I did find myself struggling in places, wishing the chapters would go by quicker than they were. Mid-book felt a little like wading in quicksand. And then the action jumped in towards the end.

I also found it difficult to relate or empathise with the characters.

But still an enjoyable short read overall!

Good battle scenes
At least 30 minutes too long (0 more)
Drawn out sword drama
Missed this at the cinema last year, it didn't get a long run. Now on Disney+ the cast is really good and the trailer looked promising. You get the story as told from 3 different perspectives of the main characters, this does lead to a lot of repetition of some scenes. The battle scenes are good if very short, not on the scale of other films like Gladiator. Adam Driver really stands out above the others in this. A decent film but just a fair bit longer than it needed to be.

I haven't read anything by Ronald Malfi before and I do enjoy a good horror story every now and again and I'm pleased I did because out of the 5 short stories, there was only 1 I didn't particularly enjoy and that was The Separation but the other 4 more than made up for it.

Well written, great characters, a plethora of general creepiness, blood and gore ... what more could you want?

Mr Malfi is definitely an author I will look out for in the future and thank you to NetGalley and Titan Books for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of They Lurk.

Dr Blessing’s Curse or The Baby in the Bell-Jar ( Dr Blessing book 1)
By Jack Rollins
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From a monster, a miracle?
After a dinner party, Doctor George Blessing reveals to his friend a secret that he has carried for three years. His most horrific case to date has left him so tormented that his marriage, his practice and his very sanity are at stake. But will his friend understand? Can he even help? Can anyone break the Doctor's curse?

Brilliant first instalment of a short story! Was totally dragged in and loved it. Very dark and definitely something I love.
