An enjoyably dark collection of 100-word stories to dip in and out of. Perfect for that quick horror fix.
Some of these stories are and a few, well, not so much. My favorite was close to the end, maybe your head won’t explode when you get there. The biggest drawback was the sound quality. It sounded like the narrator was reading from inside a metal bucket.My review is for the audio version which isn’t listed on Goodreads.
This format is fun! You get to the punch in seconds.
so, so... some were good.
A review ofDrabbledark: An Anthology of Dark DrabblesEdited by Eric S FomleyThis book is a collection of delightfully sinister pieces of flash fiction, known apparently as Drabbles. I am new to the world of Drabbles and flash fiction, this being my first time trying it out. And I must say it was a fun read.So what is a Drabble? Each Drabble is only 100 words or less, which generally fits on to a single page. There is a short bio of the author following each Drabble, so in most cases each piece o...
Very Quick, Very CreepyI read these as “snacks” during slow moments—at work, in line somewhere, and so on. The whole anthology is okay, but I have several new authors to check out and see if their larger works are even better!
They're like potato chips. If you don't like one, well, maybe the next one will. Overall these worked.
Drabbledark, edited by Eric Fomley, is an anthology of 100-word-long stories (drabbles) that slither and slide along the darkest edges of fantasy, science fiction, realism, and humor.As a supporter of a crowdfunding campaign for a different publication by the same editor, I received Drabbledark in three electronic formats (pdf, epub, and mobi). I looked at the epub and pdf versions in detail, and the formatting is excellent. I read the entire anthology on the my phone (epub); the layout is clean...
Some hits, some misses. It's interesting to see how much plot you can put into a story that's only a hundred words long. "Enchanted Leftovers" by John H. Dromey was my favorite, but "The Thing in the Walls" by Douglas Prince packed quite a punch, too. And "Tiny Door" was a great creepy story by my brother-in-law David Afsharirad.
I loved this book, would highly recommend, especially if anyone is looking for a short, creepy read.
As with most anthologies, there are some great, good and not so good. I found there to be a mixture of them all. The highlight of the book was how the editor chose to end it. No spoilers from me.As the title says, these are dark and not just horror. However, my favorite are those that have a twist at the end. Now that says something when you can lead the reader down a path and then twist it, all in one hundred words. Brilliant!
All kinds of darkness A great collection of some incredible and dark drabbles. On numerous occasions I was amazed at how 100 words could unnerve me so.
