I liked the prose and everything but I didn’t get it? Probably me just being stupid but… yeah. This story was great! It gripped me right from the start and had my heart pounding as Mr Beresford was rushing to get home and away from “light hat”. The last line was fantastically horrible. I wasn’t all that interested in this short until right at the very end. There are 17 in this book in total, with the longest being only 24 pages (which feels like loads after reading 10 page stories practically all the way through)! I have reviewed each story that made up part of this book, giving each of them a star rating. This is a really generous collection of short stories. In the haunting world of Shirley Jackson, nothing is as it seems and nowhere is safe, from the city streets to the country manor, and from the small-town apartment to the dark, dark woods… Review: In these deliciously dark tales, the daily commute turns into a nightmarish game of hide and seek, the loving wife hides homicidal thoughts and the concerned citizen might just be an infamous serial killer.
