Walki's Review
Contrary to a popular belief among my friends, Horror is not my favourite genre. I am curious about vampires and werewolves, and their interpretations. Mostly, I am interested in the characters and how they develop. In horror short stories, there isn't always room for character development, so these writings are likely to be more focused on action/s and its/their consequences.
In 'A Menu of Death' Lucy Pireel's offerings are diverse and dwelling on revenge, experiment, haunting, wishes. While the themes are simple enough, the writing is fluid and easy to follow. What I found there is a karmic lesson, not just the "Be careful what you wish for", but also "Be careful how you treat people".
A Dollar's Worth' could be the best example of this collection, with a final twist, which is even more twisted because of its simplicity. But maybe this is what horror is about: take something simple from daily reality, and twist it until it bleeds.
