Remember Why You Fear Me

by Robert Shearman

[Lianne]

Remember Why You Fear Me is a collection of short stories ranging from psychological suspense to poignant reflections on life and love (with an eerie twist) to downright horror-themed scenarios. Shearman’s stories are reminiscent (to me, at least) of Neil Gaiman’s and Catherynne Valente’s storytelling in his ability to take simple scenarios and everyday items and completely turn them on their heads, making the stories wholly unique. I enjoyed learning along the way what was unique about the setting of each particular story and themes that were prevalent in each of them.
