Closing Time and Other Stories by Jack Ketchum

5.0

Ketchum is classic. The first story in here was like taking a literal punch in the gut. In all seriousness, I had to pause it because I was still feeling from the first story. Trust me when I say it's hard for me to get the feels. What can I say? I have a weak spot for pets. I adored how each story ended with a personal note from the author as to how and what influenced him to write each story. It's been a while since I've read Ketchum, but I'm sure I've read some of these before (many many many moons ago). Also, I saw how NYC, cigarettes, and Greek restaurants influenced his work
