The Black House

Summary: This book was not like I thought it would be.
Review: Although this book was interesting, it really didn't have much to do with "horror" or "scariness". There were a few stories that gave me the creeps, but most of them just didn't make much sense. Patricia Highsmith is an excellent author, but her writing takes some getting used to. Basically, I was disappointed in the book. I really thought it was going to be better. I actually got bored with a few of the stories; there's not a lot of action.

Summary: If I could rate it 11, I would
Review: Everytime you open a book by Patricia Highsmith, there is no certainty at all about what you will encounter (at least that happens to me). However, this time I found more surprises than usual. Each of the 11 stories has its particular charm, but the one I loved most was "Blow It". It is worth buying the book just to read this story. If you are a woman and you like Highsmith, you cannot afford to leave this one unread. And, remember, reality is more frightening than horror movies!

Summary: A collection of short stories by Patricia Highsmith.
Review: The Black House is a very unique book. You may think it sounds like a horror book. But it is really only scary in the way that people are in this book. It takes a while to become used to the author's style of writing, so you have to be patient. Some of these stories are very strange, be prepared. I found this book to be frusturating because it was so different.The author did a good job leaving you with a question at the end of each story.
