Taylor is an excellent storyteller. Reading this collection of poetry and short stories was a breath of fresh air. But like demented. Is there a word for that?!
Little Paranoias was my first read for 2020 & I feel like I'm ushering in some new, freaky energy for the new year. I'm into it. Can't wait to see what she writes next ....
WHAT I LIKED:
- A combination of flash fiction, poetry, and short stories, this collection was unique and disturbing. I loved it!
- Taylor's voice is vibrant and refreshing.
- With just a few pages, she creates realistic characters and tells a satisfying, frightening (or intriguing!) story. After I read the first story, I immediately fell in love with her work.
- Taylor really messed with my emotions in this collection. I went from heart break to sheer delight, and had a lot of fun along the way.
- Here are my favorite stories in this collection:
Weary Bones - a beautiful, heart wrenching story about loss
Hollow - a creepy story about a kid and a doll
Stick Figure Family - a most delightful, funny, and charming story about murder
Hearts are Just "Likes" - a sharp as nails commentary on social media

Bite-sized Horror Snacks Satisfy the Appetite
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2019
I LOVE flash fiction and short stories. This collection of horror by Sonora Taylor was a fun and gripping mix. Some of the bite-sized tales were quick, flavorful snacks that packed a good punch. Others were slightly longer stories meant to be savored. My favorites were WEARY BONES (I love the powerful message of this story), ALWAYS IN MY EAR, STICK FIGURE FAMILY (Ha! Didn’t see that coming), and SALT (gotta love a good horror romance). Okay, there are more that I really enjoyed, but I think those are my top faves. I’ll definitely be reading more of Sonora Taylor’s work.
