review 1: Truly enjoyed reading Four Corners Dark. The cover of the book is just AMAZING. one of the best ones I have seen since a long time. Of all the stories obviously the anchor story, which is a novella, "The Raven Mocker" is very good. I wish the author had made it into a full length novel as the plot is brilliant. Of all the four dark corners in this book, I must say I found the Raven Mocker the darkest and quite scary. The plot is gripping and the author has weaved several supernatural concepts into one great plot. There are two reasons why this book did not get a 5/5. The writing style in the Raven Mocker left me a tad disappointed. It is a fast pace story with tons of things happening all the time, however the narrative felt very hurried at some places.The second story "Re... moreturn to Nowhere" was a bit confusing to me, even though the concept was interesting. I look forward to William's full length novel and hope he gives us a better narrative which does not feel rushed. Cheers
review 2: I love the art of short stories. It takes some crafting to be able to deliver in so few words. This collection has four stories that do deliver. I’m going to give just a little about each story because when you are dealing with short stories saying even a little can ruin the fun and I never want to do that. Engine Eighteen managed to be both creepy and heartbreaking. I was surprised by how quickly I made a connection with Anna and Rosa. Return to Nowhere was very neat. I loved the way each time things were different yet not really so much. My favorite was Raven Mocker, I think because it was longer and more developed. I love the whole concept and the genuinely creepy moments delivered as the characters traversed that fine line between here and the other side. I would love to see more about this or something else similar. The Spinning Wheel was so touching. I didn’t find it creepy but I did find it fantastic. I love stories that even though the have sorrow can leave you feeling good. Overall I really liked this collection. I look forward to reading more work by William McNally. less
