I've read all the stories before, when they were released one by one. Still, to have them all together was great, and the extras that he included were a treat! Good collection all around. Todd knows how to balance different themes with his stories, none of them feel repeated or hashed out of something already done. He's a good writer and I respect his work.
A place where horrific ugly little things become visible. like to thank Joe and Crystal Lake Publishing for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.I had already read Todd's novella, The Final Reconciliation, so I knew I was in for a treat! That novella with its Lovecraftian touches and great characters was a great symphony of horror and rock, it's excellent.Each short story in this collection was different to each other, but all feature Ugly Little Things that are probabl...
Ugly Little Things: Volume One is a beautiful collection of short stories. These are stories of those ugly little things that are always lingering just below the surface. Those things that niggle at the back of your mind. The book begins with “Radio Free Nowhere” where only a few can hear the siren call of a radio signal beckoning them towards a lake in the middle of nowhere. Ashley and Conrad are driving through a lonely stretch of highway when Ashley first hears the siren’s song . Unable to r...
This is some pretty good stuff. I'm thoroughly enjoying the short fiction Renaissance and I would place Mr. Keisling at the forefront. Just the same as the guy on the corner will give you a little bit of crack for free on the first time, Keisling gets you good and wound up and jonesing for more with four sharp slices of dark fiction. From the tense, tight story of horror on the airwaves "Radio Free Nowhere" to the semi-autobiographical Faustian tale "Saving Granny from the Devil," there is no sh...
Ugly Little Things is a book made up of short stories. It actually made me remember Tales of the Crypt as some of the stories really played out in my head and they are of the horror kind.My personal favourite stories were Saving Granny from The Devil and The Harbinger.Saving Granny from The Devil surprisingly had me actually like the devil in this story. I loved the way Harvey the devil would say kiddo as it made him more humanised and for me I think the author has portrayed the devil really wel...
Review copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest reviewTodd Keisling's Ugly Little Things - Volume 1 collects the first four short stories that make up Keisling's Ugly Little Things universe, an ongoing title and umbrella for his short fiction. I have been finding myself drawn more and more to the short story format because it is a great vehicle for horror fiction. I still love plopping down on the couch and starting a novel, but it is always interesting to see how various authors ha...
This is a delectable collection of short horror stories all in one fantastic bundle.I took my time to read each and every one of the stories and it stood out to me how different each one was. I liked this, sometimes in short story collections you find all the stories a bit the same, a bit bland. Not here, Todd delivers up a mixed bag of horror fantastically.It's hard to rate a collection book as often you like some stories over others, but overall this book is easily a 4 star review for me. And
A copy of Ugly Little Things: Volume One was sent to Confessions of a Reviewer by the author Todd Keisling in exchange for an honest review. This is said review. This book is published by Precipice Books.I have read one other short story by Todd Keisling in the past so I was delighted when he asked if I would like to review Ugly Little Things: Volume OneThis is a collection of four of his short stories. The stories in this book don’t follow a common theme. They are totally different styles and t...
Reader, welcome back. I’m so glad you could join me. I’ve something to show you, over there: Yes that cover. I’m referring to those empty eyes, pierced with an impenetrable blackness, and that pallid face like fossilized and hardened skin.Now before you sit down, and I get to rambling off. Nowadays that’s really all I do anyway. I’ll tell you: quick and fast – that if you’re wondering if you should read this volume, Ugly Little Things: Volume One, written by that strange fellow Todd Keisling – t...
This was a great Four short story collection that built up suspense and sent a chill up your spine.Each story was well thought out with realistic characters and situations that reaches within you and stimulates your brain and sense of reason.Well done Mr Todd Keisling.In "Radio Free Nowhere."A short,right to the point chilling story. You meet a young couple Ashley and Conrad who are traveling down I 69.Conrad is irritated because he thinks Ashley forgot his I-pod filled with music.And his is una...
An excellent anthology of eleven horror stories. A mixture of runaway children, devils, flowers, a cheating husband, your garden and other seemingly mundane topics with an extreme touch of horror. Ten tales that build up to the crescendo of The Final Reconciliation. A simple story about a rock group that will have you sleeping with the lights on! Seriously scary! If you are a fan of horror this is a book you won't be able to put down!
Really enjoyed this collection of creepy little short stories! Highly recommended from me
