Strange, strange stories indeed. I loved reading them. They made me feel sad sometimes, and sometimes I had to laugh, sadly.
I enjoyed reading the book and it was a pity once it was finished. ( )

I won a copy of this book though LibraryThing Member Giveaways in exchange for an honest review.
This book is a collection of 9 short stories that made me wish that some were longer. Thomas Gaffney did an excellent job in every single one of the stories but my favorite ones were FEEEEENIX and Ghost. Even though some of the endings were predictable, such as the short story I last mention, there were others that took me by surprise and had some plot twists.
Definitely something I will re-read and recommend to all readers. Gained more interest in the author’s work and can’t wait to read more.
Engaging, surprising and pleasing. ( )

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. The stories were engaging but left me wanting to know more. ( )

Stranger Things Have Happened is a great book of nine short stories. The stories are dark, creepy and irresistible! The writing is excellent and very creative. While the first story did not grab my attention, all the remaining stories did. The seventh short story is still my favorite. Once I began reading, it was hard to put the book down. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially if you like stories with a dark twist. ( )

Gaffney has a fondness for ashes, and this book has them. Stranger Things is a small but very imaginative collection of short stories suitable for reading to naughty children before you put them to bed. The tales tend to the starkly fatalistic and brief. Gaffney presents mortality from diverse and vivid perspectives. Naughty children notwithstanding, this is a literary work for an adult mind.

My chief criticism is only that some of the stories could be longer. Brevity is essential to some of his tales - notably 'Eight days a week' and 'The day Harold Sanford got cancer' - but Gaffney could show off his talent more with longer works. I simply have a preference for longer stories. ( )
