Personal Demons

I tried to imagine where Bolivar might have gone, but the dog knew so many stores and bars in the neighbourhood I had no idea where to start. He had a better social life than me.

I usually like reading collections of short stories, but I think Christopher Fowler is better at writing novels. I found some of the stories quite interesting, but none of them were that memorable, and the one about the hotel which performed taboo services for special guests was especially disappointing.

The best story by a long way was "Looking for Bolivar", about an Englishman who moved to New York, and how his life changed when he agreed to house sit for a stranger.

interesting read. Short stories, very varied, all fairly horrific.

Dix-sept nouvelles : incantations, emprisonnement, vengeance, romance et fin du monde... Vous trouverez ici horreur, fantastique et humour, il y a aussi un peu de sang et quelques morts. J'écris rarement des choses aussi noires que ce qu'offre la réalité.
