Electric Trees

by Melissa Bobe

There is a mermaid in this book.
There is a sea monster.
There are sirens.

This book has monsters and murders, elephants and polar bears and wolves, of a kind. It has crappy jobs and happy escapes. It has funerals and hospitals and hope.

Its homes are haunted by people haunted by the things they cannot face. Its halls are quiet, its colors are loud, and it will take you on a journey if you’re willing to stay the course.

Are you?

This is an excellent journey from start to finish. I read other books from the author and she never disappoints. You never know what you're going to get, but I can guarantee you're going to love it!

I am not usually into short stories, but this book was definitely worth the read! Some were quite quick but thought provoking. Others that were a little longer still kept me interested! Who doesn’t love mermaids, the idea of getting a “do-over” of a certain day, having a chill creep up your spine and a look over your shoulder to make sure nobody is there, even though you swear you felt a breath on your neck, or a brief glimpse into … “what would I have done?” …. I liked it 😊
