Hold Your Fire by Chloe Wilson
3.0
I’m three quarters of the way through but I think I’m going to stop, because I’ve already got enough in my brain now for a broad range of nightmares.
These stories are clever and well written but, without exception, very dark and twisted. A large proportion of the characters appear to be sociopaths, and most others are either dopey or garden-variety jerks, not even in the sense of being flawed or complex, just straight-out horrible or hopeless.
For these reasons the stories are impressive but not enjoyable. I’m gonna go read some paperback crime fiction which I suspect will be less violent…?
