The narrative voice made this less spooky, not more. Didn't land for me but I can see what it was trying to do.
Welcome to Day 19 of my 2021 25 Days of Short Stories Christmas Advent Calendar. Each day I will be reading a short story from the collection of over 600 short stories and novellas available for free on Tor.com. This is a collection of horror, sci-fi and fantasy.

Strong start, but fizzled out by the middle. I enjoyed the description of the apple.
Fairly well-written, great description, and some genuinely creepy atmosphere. It just didn’t really work for me.
A horror short story, Stephen King light. The first half is strong and intriguing, then it gets sketchy.

August Review #1: Black Leg by Glen Hirshberg A documentary filmmaker tracks down the man who told him a myriad of ghost stories during jury duty. The trail leads to an abandoned shopping mall where the man supposedly works as a nightguard. He experiences weird supernatural occurrences, even worse than what the guard described to him. Glen Hirshberg's writing style is something that drives me batty; it is constantly rambling and pretentious, ruining the subtle horror and complex themes he tries
A horror story which begins with jury service, which is a solid idea - it's already a space outside the normal run of life, where people meet who otherwise never would. Also, I think I still have a scar from the last time I did it, nearly a decade ago, thanks to a curiously bloodthirsty chair. But what happens here is definitely worse.
