The Dark Dark: Stories by Samantha Hunt

3.0

I appreciate the construction of the stories and how I never could quite grasp where the direction was headed, and the drops into the dark from the everyday mundane living that she has the skill for, but I might not be the right audience for this collection. I don't really have anything to nitpick about it. It's all me. I hadn't read any of Samantha Hunt's work before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but with the rave reviews I was hoping I would love these stories. Oh well. In terms of 'enjoyment,' if I can even call it that, I'd give it a 2. With her immersive storytelling and the tension thrown in there, I can't possibly give this anything lower than a 3.
