I enjoyed these short spooky tales.
They were rather entertaining and different from the author's vampire stories.
I am looking forward to the second book in the series.

Mr. Hennessey does not disappoint
I really enjoyed these short horror tales. Definitely recommend for a quick, enjoyable, creepy change of pace. Held my attention from the first to the last. Could use better editing. It seems this is a big issue with a lot of the kindle books. Give this author a try. You will not be disappointed.

Like any collection, some good, some great, some so-so. The great are really great. Think 'dead pretty' was my favourite.

11:47 (Small Slices of Horror Vol 1), by John Hennessy, is a collection of six of his short stories. As in any collection, there were some stories that I thought were great, and others that just didn't work as well for me.
My personal favorites included the title story "11:47", "The Lift", "Just an Illusion", and "Ghost Train".
--"11:47": When Louise gets a call--with nobody on the other end of the line--at 11:47 pm, the frights have just begun. Unhappy in her marriage and with her role as a mother, anxiety is always present within her. ". . . Somebody definitely dies when two become one . . ."
--"The Lift": A young girl must take on the role of caregiver at an unfairly early age after the untimely death of her mother. ". . . Your mother is involved in a negative ongoing situation." . . . "You mean . . . she's dead?"
--"Just an Illusion": A surreal magic show where the magician shows a select few the concept of reality veers illusion.
--"Ghost Train": This one could be seen as a cautionary tale about how you view your dates, but I prefer to think of it as a "special" journey on an unusual carnival ride, that shows just who you really are, inside.
In a collection of only six tales, having four that especially struck me as really good is a great collection, in my mind. Though it could have benefitted from additional editing, the overall contents are worth the purchase price.
