Sweet Reviews: Tales My Grandmother Told Me by Heather Daughrity

"When I was a little girl, my grandmother would tell me stories.

Stories of thieves and murderers, strange creatures and horrific happenings, stories of ghosts and ghouls and things that go bump in the night.

These were stories meant to unnerve and unsettle, to entertain and to frighten.

I've gathered together thirteen of those spine-tingling stories, and now I'm going to share them with you. These are the tales my grandmother told me."

This collection of scary stories had me holding my breath while frantically flipping the pages. I have always been a big fan of spooky stories and it was comforting to read an entire collection of unsettling and wicked tales. They reminded me of the stories my friends and I would tell at sleepovers, trying to freak each other out.

Each story was original and alluring in their own way and, by the time I was finished all 13, I had a really hard time deciding which was my favourite. But if I had to pick ONE, it would have to be The Cold Man because boogieman stories are my kryptonite. with shout outs to Blossom, The Creature That Drains the Blood From the Sheep, and Girl’s Best Friend.

Like I said, each story was unique and captivating! As an added twist, at the end of the book, Heather explains the origin of each story and her thought process behind writing them. That might be my very favourite thing ever! I loved the insight into Grandma Nan's, Child Heather's, and Adult Heather’s imaginations.

I will be sure to tell these stories around the campfire this summer at the cottage!
