A Quiet Place door J. W. Schnarr

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.

This was an odd collection of short stories. I love the short story format and I think this author did a great job of creating short stories and keeping them short, with good details. That said, I really only was drawn to a couple of them. Sometimes the stories seemed to be "out there" for no other reason than just being "out there." A short story doesn't need gore or shock value to be good.

I must admit I'm not the biggest fan of short-stories at the best of times but I felt very much let down by this collection. I found most of these stories lack-lustre and many seemed way too slow from the beginning. The one exception and my favourtite story from the collection was "Green Hills". I also enjoyed "Emily" however I felt it's ending was somewhat predictable.

It's impressive to find an author that knows exactly when to end a short story. Far too often, stories drag on past a natural conclusion or end abruptly, leaving me unsatisfied. The supernatural nature of these shorts appeals to me, and the plots are fun and inventive. All-in-all, definitely worth a read.

I have read some Schnaar before and was quite pleased with it but in this collection the author has taken a a crack at more psychological, suspenseful tales but with very limited success. One or two or maybe three of these tales work fairly well but most of them are almost instantly forgettable. The fai to grip from the get go and often one is left wondering what point there is. I am sure, from his previous work that he can write but this new approach needs more work and possibly a harsher critic before publication - this collection was simply not ready to see the light of day. I hope that the next collection will be.… (meer)
