Review: Being Dead by Vivian Vande Velde
Back Cover of Being Dead
They may be dead, but thee certainly not gone. They dance with the living, sleep under your bed, and follow you home from school.
In this deliciously creepy collection of seven stories, Vivian Vande Velde follows the haunted souls of yesterday beyond the grave into our world–a place they just aren’t ready to leave.
Three Quick Points About Being Dead
- Point 1: The cover is creepier than the stories. Of course, that doesn’t mean there isn’t some level of nerve-altering in at least one of the stories.
- Point 2: A mixed bag. A few of the stories seem like incomplete thoughts, but the remainders have the power to make one gasp, laugh, or misty-eyed.
- Point 3: Smooth and fast reads, all. Each story flows from one page to the next making this book an exceptionally fast read.
