50/50 Friday - Favorite/Least Favorite Short Story

50/50 Friday is hosted here on this blog and over at Blue Eye Books. 


What is 50/50 Friday?
Everyone has a favorite and then we also have something we dislike. Like a coin, there are two sides to every question. Example: best sequel you've read/worst sequel you've read. So that's what 50/50 Friday is all about. We will have a new topic every Friday (something bookish of course!). If you have have ideas for this meme don't be scared to let us know!


Topic for the Week
 Favorite/Least Favorite Short Story 


I've a huge fan of horror short stories so I thought I would share some spooky horror stories with you today! Let's jump into it! 


Favorite 
The Doll
It's simple, straight-forward and I loved it anyway. It was just the perfect amount of creepy. 


Least Favorite 
Floor Four
The writing... every sentence was so choppy and I just couldn't enjoy it because of that. 


Topic for Next Week
Favorite/ Least Favorite HP Novel

    I've read and reviewed The Doll by J. C. Martin too! I thought it was creepy too, but ultimately an overall medium for me.

    Here's a link to my review of The Doll, if yo care to read it.

    I've not read either of those and even The Doll cover is creeping me out. I have this weird thing about thinking dolls' eyes are watching me!
    Not sure it's my favourite, but the most memorable short story I read was Jack London's To Build A Fire. Bleak and beautiful.

      Yes! I agree. I love dolls. I collect a few of Monster High and those Living Dead Dolls but they can't be in my bedroom... I won't be able to sleep because I feel they're totally watching me. I'm so weird, I know lol.

      I've never heard of that one but I'll be checking it out!

    I can't stand choppy writing either. I understand the author might be trying to impart some sort of stylistic atmospheric manipulation but it never really translates for me.

      Yes! Agreed, I totally get it if the author is going for something with that kind of writing, it's just not my cup of tea.
