My Review
Primrose and Brimstone is a collection of short horror stories by Jason
Mueller. I absolutely love horror stories, especially short ones, but
for me, this collection fell a little flat.
There were a couple of stories that felt a little rushed; I would have liked a little more out of them. Like the one with the couple of the deck being watched by a creature in the woods. I liked that story, but I would have liked a little bit more to it. Even just another page or two would have made it even better.
There were also a couple of stories that I felt dragged on a little too long. I felt bogged down by them, and I lost interest before finishing them. That was disappointing to me. I know not every story can be a hit, but I always feel let down when a story I'm excited about makes me lose interest.
I also had issues with the editing of the stories. There were so many run-on sentences, as well as grammatical mistakes, and even a couple of wrongly used words.
While I did finish the book, I can't say I was overly impressed by it. There were stories I liked, and stories I didn't, but for the most part, I was indifferent to a lot of it.
I rate Primrose and Brimstone 3 stars.
