Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Strong character development? It's complicated

4.5

Static and Other Stories by Jason Nickey. This was a great collection of short stories covering various topics. Some of these were brutal and covered some graphic material. I would not consider this extreme horror, though. Standouts for me were Static and Dearest Catherine. I would love to see a full novel based on or expanding on Static. It was a great original concept! Only one story missed the mark for me, Hot Tub Hallucinations. Not because it wasn't written well, it just was not for me.

The narrator, C.J. Grey did an excellent job and had a perfectly creepy voice for some of the characters in the stories!

I have each short story rated below with an overall score of 4.5 which I would round up to a 5 star! This was a quick read that I finished in a day, and I would definitely recommend it!

Static 5.0
Moonlight Baptism 4.0
Dearest Catherine 5.0
Podcast 4.75
Hot Tub Hallucinations 3.5
My Father's Eyes 4.75
Haunt 4.5
Juice Box 4.75
