Breams Gives Me Hiccups
From Jesse Eisenberg, here are some witty and funny short stories. However, the humour dies out towards the end.
Elevation
Stephen King can surprise his readers in an amazing way, and I love love love him for doing this. King is known the world over for being the master of horror stories, and some of his novels have truly terrified me as a child- The Shining, Pet Sematary, Carrie, Cujo and It, to name a…

Interestingly, the book was also…
