A review by mmccombs
Dark Tales by Shirley Jackson

dark medium-paced

3.5

I think it was a mistake to read this via audiobook, these stories were all about subtlety and small twists that I think I missed by listening. I’m a big fan of her writing style and this collection was perfectly atmospheric and dark, but listening did them a disservice. I do think her longer fiction will remain my favorite, allowing that subtlety to stretch and culminate in interesting ways, but these short stories were solid.
