ive been reading a collection of locked room mysteries called miraculous mysteries: locked room mysteries and impossible crimes. i recently finished after the people lights have gone off by stephen graham jones and realized short stories fit more into the pace of life for me at the moment, and murder mysteries get me in just the right way. plus i dont have to agonize over my guess for quite as long

Idk why I've never considered murder mystery short stories, that sounds great! Gonna put that on my TBR.

i am a big fan of these genres during the Halloween season \o/

this past Halloween, I listened to a Vincent Price short story collection titled The Price of Fear that is absolutely delightful :)
