Tales My Grandmother Told Me is everything a collection of
horror short stories should be—cozy, creepy, and occasionally gruesome. From
the humorous Burglar Man to the truly terrifying (to me) Safe House
and Girls Best Friend, there is something here for every age and flavor of
horror fan.
In the preface, we are introduced to Miller’s grandmother Nan,
and we learn about her love of horror and how she passed that along with her
talent for storytelling to her. The blending of stories from Miller’s
grandmother and those of her own creation is seamless. In my opinion, one of the most
important parts of this book is the continued tradition of keeping the stories
and songs of our forefathers alive for future generations.
I look forward to re-reading this collection in the future
and sharing it with my nieces and nephews who are all budding horror fans I
would feel comfortable sharing this not only with them, but also with older
family members in hopes they will share stories with me. All in all, I would
say Miller that she did her Nan proud.
5/5 Stars
