Greener Pastures

De: Michael Wehunt

Narrado por: Marlin May

In his striking debut collection, Greener Pastures, Michael Wehunt shows why he is a powerful new voice in horror and literary weird fiction.

From the round-robin, found-footage nightmare of "October Film Haunt: Under the House," (selected for the year's best dark fantasy & horror) to the jazz-soaked "The Devil Under the Maison Blue," (selected for both the year's best dark fantasy & horror and year's best weird fiction), these beautifully crafted, emotionally resonant stories speak of the unknown encroaching upon the familiar, the inscrutable power of grief and desire, and the thinness between all our layers. Where nature rubs against small towns, in mountains and woods and bedrooms, here is strangeness seen through a poet's eye.

They say there are always greener pastures. These stories consider the cost of that promise.

Finally!!

During the past year I've really gotten into the 'weird' fiction sub genre. Months ago I came across this book on Amazon and the cover was so wonderfully creepy! I so hoped there was an Audible version... but sadly there was not. Now there is! I just downloaded it yesterday and the first couple stories did not disappoint! Enjoying it so far!

Creeptastic Collection

This collection has been on my tbr for quite some time. Mainly, because… I rarely read short story collections or anthologies. Thankfully, my reading habits have changed and I’ve been able to “read” loads of collections by listening to their audiobooks.

This collection by Michael Wehunt blew me away. There’s a mixture of loneliness and grief, skin-crawling creepiness and the far-out strange and peculiar weaving it’s way throughout each story. Wehunt was able to create a top-notch, debut collection, and I NEED MORE ASAP!!!

S/N: My favorite story from this collection was the very last one, BOOKENDS. I don’t want to spoil anything by giving too much information, but I have a huge love for Cicadas. 😏

I loved this collection so much. So much so, that I now need to purchase myself a physical copy because owning the audiobook just isn’t enough. This book deserves a place on my “Favorites” book shelf!

Alittle uneven for me.

I desperately wanted to like this one more than I actually did. A few of the stories just didn't gel with me at all. Others, I thought were very well done. I wish I could pinpoint why. The writing was good and for the most part the stories flowed but I just couldn't get into some of them. I will definately check out more of this authors stuff though, so I guess it did it's job. 2.5 Stars
