I love Duncan’s work and I would love to join but I don’t think I will have time. I already have the book so I might try to squeeze it in

I’ll be here! Thanks, Tosha!
We are not breezing right through it like Latasha said - we are just going to try and read it slow. :-) (Yeah - read a Duncan Ralston book slow?! - That will be the day! lol)

Nice. This will be fun. Duncan has quite the imagination
I added it to my KU list at any rate 😉
Cool - we are getting our buddies lined up!!
Ima stressing. I’ll probably be in and out.
Can’t wait! Thanks for inviting me.
Nice to see all of you here!
Remind me y’all. I just downloaded the kindle unlimited edition 😉
I can’t wait! Excited !
I read the first story. Head. It was funny, dark comedy. It made me think of something from CreepShow or Tales from the Crypt. It was good fun.
Sigh. Did I already download this?
I just read Head and didn’t like it 😕. I’m going to go listen to some audio book for a bit.
I just finished Head and The Boats. Not sure how I feel about them yet.
I read the first few pages of Prick and skipped it. That is just not my kind of horror. 90% of the time, I do not like comedy in horror.
Well I have read almost all of Duncan's books and nothing surprises me. I have read some of his other short story books and this one is just typical Duncan. lol. :)

This is (maybe?) the first Ralston I’ve read and so far I’m not terribly impressed.
I’m so sorry David. I’ve read several of his things and I would not recommend this be anyone’s first book if his.
“Head” had me laughing for sure! The third story, I gave it a try and then after a few pages It got weird and I just thought... yep, Duncan. But he explains it. Second story was good too. I’m on one after that and it’s creepy and it’s made me laugh too. I just hope I don’t get in trouble for laughing at the one part.
I just couldn’t like head. Maybe my mood. I don’t know if I’m going to continue on this one. We shall see 😕

Well hell. I feel left out 😕
Done. I have a few other things by Ralston in my TBR. He’s not a bad writer but I’m not sure he’s for me. I’ll need a little buffer before trying him again.
Sorry David. Ghostland and Salvage are both really good and nothing like this one at all.
The Passion of the Robertson's - well that was better than the previous story. The Burden- being trapped in any way, shape or form is a fear of mine. The daughter was kinda messed up too though.
I give both of these 3 stars.
Latasha wrote: "Sorry David. Ghostland and Salvage are both really good and nothing like this one at all."I’ll check those out next. I have The Midwives too.
Yes! Midwives was really good too.
I finished the book and put up my review. I gave it four stars. I have read almost all of Duncan's books, so I knew it was going to be a "twisted" ride.
I really enjoyed 'The passion of the Robertsons' when I read Splatterpunk Fighting Back (nutters on both sides)
Marie Helene wrote: "I really enjoyed 'The passion of the Robertsons' when I read Splatterpunk Fighting Back (nutters on both sides)"Yeah I liked it ok. It wasn’t bad.
I went with 3 stars. I didn’t hate it but it wasn’t my favorite either. I liked the Christmas story and the screenplay the best. I skipped a few stories as well as the sample of Ghostland. I’ve read (and liked) that book.
I going to skip this one for now. I want to be able to do the other buddy reads and the first story wasn’t for me. Or it’s my mood 🙄
The Passion of the Robertsons — I hate that there are ppl out there like that. Bizarre one. But totally Duncan. The Burden — I think I was like you Tosha. No one wants to be like that. Good thing to make a story of.

yeah, that's one of my biggest fears.
