These and one more dark fable await you from the imaginative mind of the award-winning author Michael Thomas Perone. Part fractured fairy tales, part nightmare fuel, The Electric God and Other Shorts follows characters who struggle to remain sane in an insane world and features stories that will keep you up at night, wondering what might be lurking in the shadows.

 

 My Review:

The author starts this story with an Introduction. He states that these stories are dark. He was not kidding. "The Electric God" is an interesting story that made me think about how much we rely on television sets. As someone who grew up without "pay channels", I totally agree with how insane it is to have so many different channels nowadays. "Paper Language" was fun and made me think about the other stories I have read about "killer typewriters" I was surprised at the ending. I read " School Spirit" twice to see all I missed the first time. Definitely do not read these stories if you do not like horror. I, however, love horror and was pleasantly surprised by some of the endings. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, However, all opinions are my own.
