'Ello and welcome back to the blog! Today I have another book review by someone that I shared another of his books last year- Jon Richter! In similar styling to his last book, Deadly Burial, Disturbing Works is another book best kept for a stormy night when you want a bit of a spook. Or yano, in my instance when you're sitting on the tube twice a day! 

The first volume of my Disturbing Works is a collection of twelve twisted tales perfect for people who like their stories dark, despicable, and deeply unsettling. Containing fantasy, sci-fi, dark humour and a lot of deliciously nasty horror, it should have something for every reader that has a sinister side and nerves of steel…

If you haven't noticed my choice of books has definitely grown to include crime, thriller and creeps the past few years and well Richter's book did not disappoint. The book itself is a collection of a variety of short stories all covering different themes and genres of creepy, mind-F'ing weirdness and some with a unique look at technology. The best way for me to some it up would be by saying it's like the tv series Black Mirror but in book form (with also getting a bit of Hunger Games/Battle Royale vibes with one story as well).

One point I covered in my last review of a Richter book is the formatting. Within this new collection of stories, it is once again where the formatting and pacing makes the reading enjoyable and engrossing. Each of the stories varies slightly in length and amount of dialogue- although the majority include only small on going passages of speech. But it is with this instance I feel helped with the setting of each story, whether it was a story with 20+ humans/robots or a single person, the style of writing cemented you in to what was happening very easily. 

With each story being obviously short it would be very easy to read the entire book within one sitting but I do definitely prefer the way I worked my way through it. The stories were short enough that I could start and finish one or two on my commute on the tube going too/from work, making the packed tube rides all that much more pleasant... well as pleasant as it can be when you're reading about people being murdered, robots taking over and a plethora of other disturbing things. 

So if you fancy getting yer creep on I'd thoroughly recommend checking out Disturbing Works! Trust me if you love your sci-fi, horror or thrillers you will be pulled right into this book! I would love to see a tv show collection of some of these, it would work so well. But for now I'm looking forward to the next collection being released and actually sitting down and reading it with a cuppa rather than a shakey tube, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
