Beyond the Door by Jeffrey Thomas

4.0

Proof that very great things can come in tiny little packages. First, I love that whacked out cover ... seriously dude, wtf? I never wanted to read a book so keenly based solely on the cover art. Do I want to know what's beyond the door? Goddamn straight.

Secondly, this little book has some creepy, weird secrets to tell, but very quiet like, it wants to whisper them in your ear. Sans flash, pizzazz, or the implementation of jazz hands, my attention was grabbed and held. The stories are sneaky, the creep subtle, leaving me feeling uneasy and a little off kilter by the time I was finished (or it was finished with me). It reminded me of how I felt after seeing the video for Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun for the first time. Remember that mind bender?

I can't even really describe what I read, I'm left more with an impression than a clear picture, like my memory's been wiped.

Weird, very weird.
