Doomsday scenarios. Killer butterflies. C. J.

In “Final Course,” the world has descended into darkness, but a group of old friends make time for one last dinner party. In “Runaway Blues,” thwarted love, revenge, and something very nasty stowed in a hat box converge. In “Gloria,” a strange girl at a service station endears herself to a coldhearted killer, but can a leopard really change its spots? And in “I’m Not Ted,” a case of mistaken identity has unforeseen fatal consequences.Riveting, macabre, and explosively original, A Sliver of Darkness is C. J. Tudor at her most wicked and uninhibited.

"This was a fun read. There are 11 short stories in the collection, along with an introduction to each story where Tudor tells you what or who inspired the story. There is also an introduction to the whole collection where the author details how this collection came to exist. <br/><br/>Most of the stories were great. Really well written with good character development and excellent plots. There were one or two that I didn't enjoy as much, but none of them are ones I would consider bad, just kinda meh. My favorites were End of the Liner, I'm Not Ted, and Gloria. I would definitely pick this up if you like horror/thrillers and short stories. <br/><br/>My thanks to Random House, Ballantine Books, author C.J. Tudor, and NetGalley for gifting me a digital copy of this book. All opinions are my own."
