Delightfully sad and thought provoking horror

People is a collection of short stories that make you think about them long after they are finished. Not all of these stories are horrifying some are more sad and chilling then scary or gory. While most deal with themes that could be considered horror (vampires, ghosts, aliens, etc...) some go in a different direction. I mean it says it right there in the title Love, Loss, Life & Things That Go Bump in the Night is really an apt description.

This was a beautiful collection, I really liked it and recommend it to anyone that likes short stories or is looking for something a little different in their horror. As with all short story collections some were better than others, but I thought they were all good. I listened to part of this on Audible at work and the narrator did a great job!

Here are my top four stories. I give them all 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
 
💀Tell Me I’m Pretty: This is the longest tale and one of the more melancholy stories in the book about a man that is house sitting for rich friends when he meets a beautiful and unusual girl that seems to come and go without making a sound.
 
💀The Veil: this is a short one about what some people would do to hear from the ones they love after they have passed one. It was so good and sad!

💀Kiwi: about a woman that makes haunted dolls

💀What Would Batman Do? A boy in elementary school notices a girl he doesn't know leaving the principal's office. He had the feeling something has happened to her and sets out to find out what it is.
