Chills: A Short Story Collection Author: Sahar Sabati Genre: Suspense Age Category: Adult Release Date: 17 October 2013 Blurb: The same people are impossibly spotted in two different places at once; a man considers murdering the husband of a woman he loves; while driving home very early in the morning, a driverless car appears out of the fog and follows two sisters home. Fear of the unknown, emotional intensity, and plain old creepiness will give you chills long after you have finished reading the seven stories in this collection. Buy Chills Here:Amazon // Kobo // Barnes & Noble // iTunes My Review: Overall: 3 out of 5 stars Cover: 1.5 out of 5 stars Chills is an entertaining little short story collection. I would not rate these as horror or thriller simply because they did not offer the "shock" or "tensity" expected of these genres. This being said, I did find myself enjoying these little stories. They were very intriguing and offered just enough to allow me to formulate my own ideas or offered subtle twists I did not see coming. The author offers some nice stories. I was able to read it in less than an hour and although I would have liked to feel the tensity of a horror or thriller story, I was satisfied with this short read. The story Karma and Seeing Double gave me a real "slap in the face" moment I enjoyed immensely. I would recommend this collection to those who want a taste of intrigue without reading a longer novel. I was pleasantly surprised and honestly, would like to see some of these stories developed if the author ever felt the inkling to do a full fledged novel. About the author:
The author of Spirit Within Club and Chills: A Short Story Collection, Sahar was born the first of three siblings and the first of eight cousins who grew up together. Thrust in the role of head of the brood at a very early age, she honed her imagination by creating stories and plotlines the eight of them could play to all summer long. But soon, her interest in the paranormal took its toll on said brood. Worried on the long-term effects (as well as potential therapy costs) of this continual exposure to increasingly scary stories her oldest was (too) expertly weaving for their terrified ears, her mother gave her a typewriter – and a writer was born. Many books, a couple of screenplays, countless short stories, numerous essays, two blogs, and one Facebook page later, Sahar joined the ranks of Blogcritics, delving into the world of reviews.
