About The Book
J.V. Sadler’s first collection of short stories tip-toes the waking and unconscious world. Take a peek into the upside-down world of Licking.
Transcending reality, these stories integrate a diabolical twist to the mundane. In the title story, a couple’s hopes for a baby turn sour; “The Baboon” is a story of self-deprecation gone wrong; in “Unafraid” a woman will do anything to overcome her fears; eavesdrop on a dysfunctional family in “Family: Dinner”; a crowd struggles to save a dying woman in “Almost”; and many more twisty stories that will have you questioning the everyday hustle and bustle.
The Review
This book is a collection of short stories, some scarier than others.
The Decrepit Ones is a story of young children in a museum surrounded by guards with guns and children locked in a bathroom crying.
Baboon is a story of bullying something that happens every day in schools around the nation.
Yappy is about meeting a man on a dating app and the repercussions of doing so.
Family Dinner, a story of abuse and what one wife will do to end it.
Trapped: Chained is about two men kidnapped, chained with their legs cut off and left by themselves. It was a very scary story.
All the stories left me with goosebumps.
4 stars.

I am an avid reader the mother of 3 sons and grandmother to seven grandchildren. Since retiring I have been doing more reading while volunteering as a CASA worker. CASA is an organization that works with the family court system to ensure that children are in the best living situation. There are way too many children that get overlooked in the foster care system and I visit homes and make visits to the parents. I was born and raised in New York and my husband of 50 years and I live in Upstate New York.
