The Circle Bentley Little

 

Finally, a Bentley Little story that doesn't drag on with pages and pages of filler. This book is tight, weird, and fun. Published by Cemetery Dance Pubns; 0 edition (October 1, 2012) and coming in at only 150 pages.
 
This book has it's problems and one of those problems is that nothing is explained. Why is the boy shitting diamonds? Why did he target that family? Get past that and this first story is good. 

First? 

Yes. 

This book has three stories that are intertwined. These stories just end as the next one starts. 

There's a shine at the back of a witches house that is meant to grant wishes but it doesn't instead a creature rips pervert kids to shreds. And a clueless dad looking for his son. he breaks into the witches house (in reality a school teacher), she sees him and watches him and he runs away. 

It is a weird book. 

The publisher lists the book at 150 pages but reviews are 65 pages. Hmm. 

I liked it. 

There was no reasons or answers to the why of the stories. They just ended.
