I always enjoy coming across his short stories so I thought I'd give a "book" a try.
-------------------

Book opened great but fizzled quickly. This is not what happened but let me use it as an analogy of my issue. MC discovers there are no more brownies at the store. Wait there are no more brownies at any store. MC goes to Denny's to get some food because in the madness of yesterday's discovery he only manages one meal.

The reader was then subjected to chapters of him eating the same breakfast and listening to all his different reasons for the brownie disappearance happening. Repetitively, not one run through on his thoughts. We get his thoughts which includes all the events that got him to those thoughts, then we get a summary of his thoughts. Then a bullet summary of the three main possibilities. WTF I feel so insulted by the author for thinking I can't figure out what I witnessed along with the MC in the opening of the story.

Going to a real book next. ( )

La bonne nouvelle est que les vampires ont disparu en 1930. La mauvaise, qu'ils ont dû céder la place à une créature mieux adaptée au monde moderne...
D'abord il y avait eu ce visage entrevu derrière la vitre en plein milieu de la nuit. Ce visage qui le regardait d'un air gourmand. Comme il habitait au troisième, il s'était dit que ce ne pouvait être qu'un cauchemar.
Et puis, le matin, tous les voisins de l'immeuble, 142 personnes, avaient disparu. Mais surtout, quand ceux-ci avaient refait surface, en racontant une invraissemblable histoire d'alerte à la bombe, il les avait trouvés changés. Juste de petits détails et pourtant il en était sûr : ce n'était plus ses voisins. ( )
