about book: (summary from Goodreads)
A startling, witty and downright terrifying collection of short stories from the "21st century's Richard Matheson" (Richard Chizmar, Chasing the Boogeyman.) Perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay, Rachel Harrison and Eric LaRocca.
They're feeding on you too.
A father returns from serving in Vietnam with a strange and terrifying addiction; a man removes something horrifying from his fireplace, and becomes desperate to return it; and a right-wing news channel has its hooks in people in more ways than one.
From department store Santas to ghost boyfriends and salamander-worshipping nuns; from the claustrophobia of the Covid-19 pandemic to small-town Chesapeake USA, Clay McLeod Chapman takes universal fears of parenthood, addiction and political divisions and makes them uniquely his own.
Packed full of humanity, humour and above all, relentless creeping dread, Acquired Taste is a timely descent into the mind of one of modern horror's finest authors.
My thoughts:
Chilling stories - what more could I want, right? Especially for fall - my favorite season! I am thrilled to recommend Acquired Taste by Clay McLeod Chapman - you are going to LOVE these dark, creepy, and weird horror stories to bits! Talk about a fun and exciting read!
I really enjoyed dipping in and out this book every night - it made for the perfect bedtime story. Except, some nights the story would spook me out and I had to sleep with the light on. Other nights I would gobble up two or three shorts, because I couldn't help but want more. Acquired Taste is such a great mix of short stories about hauntings, ghosts, trick or treating, and so many other unsettling situations - it truly makes for a captivating read. I would happily recommend it to anyone and everyone looking for their next great read - you are going to LOVE this book! Make sure to check it out ASAP!
