This collection of short stories with has a interesting twist in that they are all based on traditional ballads. I really enjoyed the variety and the dark twist on all of them. Some of my favorites were "Driving Jenny Home" and "John Barleycorn Must Die". As a person who loves Irish and Scottish folk music these stories gave me a new perspective on the music I listen too.

I will be recommending book. Especially to my friends with literature and music degrees.

This book is beautifully written. It is full of short stories about a girl in a large family on big ol farm in Pennsylvania. It is also about her love of cats and kittens, and the many animals that came and went on the farm. Most of the stories are sad, but have beautiful illustrations. But overall I really enjoyed reading this book.
I received an ARC copy of this book from #NetGalley and I am leaving a voluntary, honest review.

Okay, I really wanted to love this book. It combines one of my favorite books (World War Z) and Vampires! Unfortunately, this book felt way too similar to World War Z that I couldn't help but compare it to Max Brooks' novel. The stories are mingled together and it felt that at times the storylines jumped around. I was never really invested in the characters and many of the short stories were flat.

Ultimately, I wasn't too disappointed, but I wasn't impressed either.

The idea
One of my favourite King stories
This is one of the best Stephen King stories I have read. It has an eerie, creepy feel to it, which keeps you hanging on till the end. Not everything is explained, but that's what makes a good short story, when they leave it up to your magination to fill in the gaps. All the Bachman Books are good, this one is the best; it is King at his best.
