Horror Anthology Ricket Row Review
Having read several anthology books, it's a daunting task to create an all engrossing read done with horror themed vignettes, but thankfully Salpeter knows how to weave a story. Each story is a great part to the sum of it's wonderful and creepy whole. Ricket Row takes 17 creepy horror filled stories that range from fantasy encounters to everyday situations that will have you questioning if a night out to the local Chinese restaurant is really a good idea in Mr. Wong's Amazing Wok. Discover how a young girl's tragic past and a visit to her parent's grave-site sparks a daring moment of curiosity that could lead to her own tragedy in Mr. and Mrs. Odd. The story of Branded shows how parenting can sometimes leave you questioning your sanity and Let Me Out teaches us that nothing good can come from opening strange luggage.
One of the things l really enjoyed is that stories like Mrs. O'Malley's Children flow out over several pages, while narratives such as All Alone and Clara are just a little over a paragraph long, which helps to keep the pace varying and interesting. This anthology works because it's well executed and engaging without falling into the overworked and tired horror cliche. I will say that my only draw back is that I didn't want several of the stories to end, but is that really a draw back?
