A Hammer, A Worm, and a Fortune Cookie by Jeff Menapace

 



A Hammer, A Worm, and a Fortune Cookie: Three Tantalizing Tales of the Macabre by Jeff Menapace

Three creepy and quick short stories for your amusement! I enjoyed reading all three, even though they were quick to end abruptly. At the end of each story, Menapace gives a brief telling of how he came about the story. 

The first short story,  Second Chance, is about a young boy who seeks a second chance at earning his fathers love. He goes to an extreme measure to win his love. The story is fast paced and gruesome.

Story number 2, Worm, is a nasty story! A woman swallows a worm for health reasons. Major plot twist at the end!

The third story, Paying It Forward, is about a young couple wanting to do something kind for a stranger. All actions have consequences! 

All of the stories were entertaining and quick to read. You could read each story on your lunch break or in the evening before bed. I would recommend this book for everyone, especially if you are looking for a quick book to read.

101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw: Draw, doodle, and color a plethora of purrfectly pawesome felines and quirky cat mash-ups by Lulu Mayo

  Thank you #NetGalley and author #LuluMayo for sending me a copy of this fantastic book 101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw!! This is such a cute book! Lulu Mayo teaches us how to draw some of the cutest little cat things. It starts out with a section of using a color wheel. I love the title of one of them "Pawsitively Pretty Pastels". From there on, the author shows up 101 ways to draw a cat. Such as a cat dragon, a mushroom cat, a cat cabbage, and cats drawn as zodiac signs! Even if you don't draw all of the cats, this is definitely a must-have for all cat lovers!

The Trunk by Mia Dalia

  This was a crazy story! It starts out smooth as molasses and then gets all twisted and dark. It’s one of those stories that escalates quickly going all outta left field. Bogdan and his wife buy their first home together and it comes with a basement… with a trunk in the basement. Nothing else is down in the basement but this weird trunk. He doesn’t think too much of it at first. Until he finally decides to open the trunk. Mia Dalia writes fantastic stories. She has quite an imagination to give her stories lots of twists and turns. She told me once that she enjoys psychology and I think she writes with that in mind. Her writing style invokes humanity’s inner demons and pushes the mind to harrowing events. If you are in the mood for a quick horror story with a psychological twist, you need to read The Trunk and Smile So Red by Mia; she will dig into your brain.
