The Darkling Halls of Ivy by Lawrence Block

3.0

This collection of tales associated with higher learning had to be good. With authors like Joe R. Lansdale and Owen King it was supposed to be on the “darker end of the spectrum”. These stories were anything from professors trying to keep tenure to freshman just trying to figure how things work.
Unfortunately I found most of the tales immediately forgettable and only 7 out of 18 did I give 4 stars or higher out of 5.
Goon #4 by Tod Goldberg was my only 5 star because it was fun, the characters were enjoyable and it had a great pace.
