Some People Let You Down

This collection is incredibly solid. Each of the stories in Some People Let You Down embraces a feeling of being haunted. Many of the stories deal with loss and grief–of loved ones, of security and home, of innocence. This collection shows many different and unique perspectives, most of which share a time and a link to a similar nondescript place like every small rural town you've encountered. Intriguing throughout, Some People Let You Down is filled with perfectly captured characters and an eerie beauty.

This “review” is part of a series in which I quickly scribble a few of the thoughts I had regarding a book I read in the first half of 2021 during a time when I let my reviews get very behind.
