I love short stories and I like weird fiction but for some reason this book didn't work for me. It's true that I did like one of the stories ("Greener Pastures") and there were another couple I enjoyed, but in most of the cases the stories didn't grab me at all. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. Stories weren’t exactly “horror,” but they were different. Didn’t really draw my attention. Not quite what I was expecting. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In his striking debut collection, "Greener Pastures," Michael Wehunt shows why he is a powerful new voice in horror and weird fiction. From the round-robin, found-footage nightmare of "October Film Haunt: "Under the House"" to the jazz-soaked "The Devil Under the Maison Blue," selected for both "The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror" and "Year's Best Weird Fiction," these beautifully crafted, emotionally resonant stories speak of the unknown encroaching upon the familiar, the inscrutable power of grief and desire, and the thinness between all our layers. Where nature rubs against small towns, in mountains and woods and bedrooms, here is strangeness seen through a poet's eye. They say there are always greener pastures. These stories consider the cost of that promise. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The stand-outs here, for me, were "Greener Pastures" (the title story), "Onanon", "October Film Haunt: Under the House", and "A Thousand Hundred Years". At a different time, I think I'd have listed "Beside me Singing in the Wilderness" as another favorite. And while some few of the stories didn't land quite so well for me, or felt a little too ambiguous/abstract in their wrap-up for me to ultimately want to revisit them, the stand-outs more than made up for those few.
Absolutely recommended. ( )
