A review by dannireadsallthetime
Cirque des Freaks and Other Tales of Horror by Julian Lopez
2.0
I received this copy from Netgally for an honest review thank you.
This story presents itself as a novella of short horror stories set to frighten you. This didn't really frighten to me. All the stories were similar in their story telling which made it predictable. It is also under the LGBTQ genre, but I found these stories made it too obvious to the readers, that yes, the characters are gay.
The stories are very short, so it was easy and quick to read. Most of the stories I didn't like, they just didn't draw me in or fill me with any kind of chills. There were a few I did like, which were:
A masked camaraderie
The mariachi's serenade
Scarecrow
They didn't really scare me, but these 3 stood out to me as being the creepiest tales out of them all. I have heard good things about this author, I haven't read any of his other books, but I would give them a go in the future. This one just didn't deliver all the promises I thought it would.
