Not As Good As I Hoped,
This review is from: Got to Kill Them All & Other Stories (Hardcover)
I was kind of disappointed with this collection of stories by Etchison. I remember reading many of his books and stories when I was younger and really liking them. This made me really look forward to reading this collection of short stories. However, it didn't live up to my expectations. The stories were a tad too predictable. Plus I didn't end up feeling much for any of the characters; they were just kind of there. I didn't really care for any of them. His prose was dead on perfect though. And he did great scenes for the characters to interact; I could easily picture where things were happening. It's just that I didn't care though what happened to the people. The stories span forty years of writing which meant that some of them did feel a little dated. To that degree, it reminded me of reading a Richard Matheson collection. Overall it wasn't bad but it wasn't the good I wanted. Some favorites from the collection are below."You Can Go Know" - A man travels home to his wife. "Call Home" - A little girl looks for help from her daddy. |
