A review by saschabookishowl
Rogues by Gardner Dozois, George R.R. Martin
4.0
Finished:
* Joe Abercrombie - Tough times all over. Rating: 5 stars.
It was a bit repetitive in the end though, but still excellent!
* Gillian Flynn - What Do You Do?. Rating: 5 stars.
Wow just wow.. one of the best, or maybe THE best, short story I've read. At the beginning I never could have guessed that it would turn into such a horror/suspense masterpiece. Flynn writes in such a humorous and light way that I just had to keep reading. But it turned out to be a possible case of a haunted house or an exorcism. Yeah..did not see that coming. I could have known though: the story has just as much suspense and plot twists like 'Gone Girl' or 'Dark Places' -although I have only seen the movie adaptations and I have yet to actually read her novels, but whatever-.

I was only able to read two of the short stories in this anthology before I had to return it to the library. That already shows the pace in which I was reading stories from this book. Although the two stories that I've read were very enjoyable, short stories are just not for me.
