The Hot Cauldron
by Lachelle Redd
This is a collection of short stories.
At
the End of Her Whip is about an investigation into an apparent
suicide.
In
Burned Secrets, Viola, travels back home because her mother and
grandmother died in a house fire set by Viola's mother. “The
trip would take her through the small rundown towns in the back woods
of Mississippi where having one red light to the entire town was the
norm and if you saw a dollar store
you
were really uptown.”
In
Another Day at the Office, Dillan meets Chase who delivers funeral
supplies.
The
Wedding Nite is a creepy little tale about a cursed bride.
In
the story The Next Room, Maggie has writer's block.
In
the story Whelan Castle, Amilya and Thad are getting
married.
In
The Sulfur Springs Coven, Lady Ella Mae Ross is dying
and tells a story.
Curse
of the Blue Diamond starts with Tucker and Kendall
building a fireplace and then Kendall finding an old diary.
The
Hunger is the story of a post-apocalyptic world.
This
collection of short stories is really good. There are ghosts,
witches, curses and werewolves. A lot of the stories are very short
but they are all very compelling and intriguing. The tone of the
stories is at times sad and poignant and at other times creepy and
filled with dread. The pacing of each story is really good. I thought
they were all well-written. The characters in each story are very
interesting. 4 stars.
