“A debut collection from Mia Dalia? Yes, please! Since I am a huge fan, I had already read a few of these stories, but there were plenty of new tales to fall in love with. Here's a brief, spoiler-free synopsis of each.
Smile So Red- A creepy tale about an unemployed man that comes across a graffiti-tagged, abandoned house in the woods. Occult goodness!
Spindel- Psychological thriller about a 12 year old trying to solve the mystery of a missing girl. Some incredibly dark moments and a pretty big twist.
Blues for the Soul- Grief horror with a blues soundtrack. Creepy kids, man. Gets me every time.
The Devil's Chord- Revisiting the Graffiti house from Smile So Red. Four horror loving friends seek out the creepy house from a novella found in a bookstore written by a local author. Alternative title: Mia Goes META.
Stump- Bleak, dual POV story. We follow Tobey and Finn through their dreary and difficult lives. Their stories intersect in a tragic, straight from the headlines way.
Flamingos- Weird, fun tale following main character, Chrys and her sister Kayla. Chrys is beginning to see strange things happening to the yard decorations in her new home. I loved the relationship between the sisters in this story.
The Trunk- Bogdan and Aimee have bought their first home together and it comes with an antique trunk in the storage unit. What's in the trunk?! My personal favorite of this collection.
Reddist- One more revisit to the graffiti house , well, the graffiti from that house. A man sees a graffiti smile one day and is then haunted by its presence.
An excellent collection Highly recommend!
