Bone Chimes by David Bernstein, Kristopher Rufty
dark
fast-paced
3.5
"That way I can bathe in her death... I want to smear her patronizing essence all over me, absorb the finality in knowing I've beaten her."
Bone Chimes is Rufty's first collection of short stories. From a gated community offering blood to a magical love seat to a camping trip gone wrong to a morbid video game challenge, each story was eerie and disturbing. My expectations were kind of high because with a cover like that, I was expecting them to be a lot more spookier. But overall, this was a fun collection of stories. Some were unique and some I enjoyed more than others.
Out of the 9 stories, my favourites were:
The Chomper
The Wager
Bruce Smiley's Ultimate Death Machine
I'll have to get my hands on Bone Chimes 2 to check it out.
