Todavía necesito seguir leyendo más de sus libros, pero creo que Matt Wesolowski es mi escritor de terror vivo favorito. O al menos está en mi top 3 sí o sí. Hydra me había gustado muchísimo, pero Changeling me pareció espectacular. Me asustó, me sorprendió, me entretuvo, me generó tristeza, me hizo sentir un montón de cosas. Me cagué en las patas y me emocioné casi en igual medida. La escritura de Wesolowski tiene algo especial, realmente logra que las palabras cobren vida y le lleguen al lector que está del otro lado, como si las páginas fueran una especie de portal.

The beginning was quite slow and boring, especially the first two episodes. But, wow! the ending was shocking and I feel like an idiot for not seeing it coming. I agree with the writer, humans can be the worst types of monsters.

The third installment in the Six Stories series was anything but disappointing. It had a compelling mystery and again, love how with each "story" we get a clearer picture on the case. I just adore how these books are put together.
