Insanity & Squirrels is a horror comedy anthology written by Author Christopher Joyce with a trilogy of short horror stories, all with a common ending … ‘it doesn’t end well!’ My favourite story of the three has to be ‘Return to Clifftop View,’ more for it’s engaging plot then humour. I’m not the easiest to please where comedy is concerned, and for me, there are very few comedians out there that can achieve a ROFL, so I’m afraid this was lost or arguably wasted on me. However I must stress that this does not mean that other readers would not ‘get it.’
For a collection of short stories there is sufficient character and plot development that keeps readers engaged and entertained throughout. The dialogue is believable and there is very little by way of editorial concerns that would detract from the reader’s enjoyment.
Overall a light and enjoyable read for horror fans.
I award 4 stars.
