Suburban Monsters by Christopher Hawkins

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐✩

Suburban Monsters by Christopher Hawkins - 228 pages


Description:
The house at the end of the block with the overgrown lawn. The darkened store window in a forgotten corner of the shopping mall. The colorful characters of a children's TV show. What dark secrets do they hide?

From award-winning author Christopher Hawkins come thirteen tales of the horrors lurking right next door.

* A shut-in sets out to make a new life for himself by losing weight at the point of a scalpel.
* A store clerk with a mannequin obsession hides a macabre and tragic secret.
* A master thief tries for one last score in a house that doesn't want him to leave.
* Two friends learn the hard way that having superpowers doesn't always make you a hero. It might just make you a monster.
* A lonely painter finds freedom with the help of something lurking beneath the ocean waves.


I really liked the idea behind these stories.  Although they weren't really super scary they were quite unique which is something that I really enjoy.
