Released: November 15, 2011.
Copy Owned: I received this book for free through the Goodreads First Reads Giveaway Program.
There isn't much to say about this sweet little freebie. It's a quick read of what seems like teasers to full, detailed stories. There is a variety of stories included from nonfiction memoirs to mythology and horror. Personally, my favorite was the mythology tidbit on Mysterious, being that I've never heard of that God in Greek mythology before. It was also the only short story that felt complete, even though it left me wanting more.
I also enjoyed the short story about the grandmother that had premonitions. Being that it's a short story, I feel like even if I said a little, I'd be saying too much.
You can pretty tell which stories were written earlier in Edwards' life because the feel of the stories, themselves, show different maturity levels as you read through.
This wasn't an ideal read for me because teasers leave me anxious, but I don't regret the short amount of time it took to read it.
I recommend this book to light readers that don't want to deal with anything heavy or too complex. I gave it 3 stars out of 5.
Happy Reading!
