I’m honored to have received an eARC of Rotten Little Things. Thanks again, Justin! This is a prequel to Tamer Animals with the recommendation of reading it after Tamer Animals.
Both books will easily be in my top favorite books for 2019.
I was excited to go back to the vicinity of the Coheelee Creek Covered Bridge, back to the area where it all began.
Twelve years before the events of Tamer Animals, the Dresdens move to southwest Georgia. Jacob has found a new job that will allow his wife, Monica, to stay home and work on her writing. Jacob and their son, Zach, set out to build some shelters for their new little farm, thinking a few animals will help keep Monica company.
“New home. Old haunts.”
Monica has battled paranoid schizophrenia all her life and has been haunted by a supposedly imaginary being. The move has been rough on her, and her imagination has been working overtime. Soon it becomes hard for her to distinguish reality from imaginary.
This novella is a quick read. Justin Woodward can sure pack a lot of horror into a small space.
We are building a cabin in the woods a few miles from our home. We can access it through the woods on what isn’t much more than a four wheeler path. I finished reading Rotten Little Things at the cabin, and the ride home in the dark on an unenclosed side by side, wide open to what lurks in the night was not any fun! I make that same ride home in the dark almost every night, but the night I finished this story was different. The next evening, I was at the cabin alone. It got dark before I got my supplies unloaded, so I had to wait until my husband got there before I was able to finish unloading my things. I didn’t tell him that was the reason. Thanks for the thrills and paranoia, Justin!
Five starts out of five stars.
