Vincent Hobbes

An odd little tale about a most unusual bookstore. This was a very enjoyable short horror story that provided a good atmosphere. Different and interesting.

There isn't much story here. Little or no suspense, decent characterization, but no real concept or story. He is a good writer, however; I enjoyed two other stories by Mr. Hobbes---"To Read or Not to Read" and "The Hour of the Time" and recommend both of those, which are available free on Kindle.

This story is really quite good. Sort of a Kafka-esque horror short. I particularly liked the intro and the way that it set the tone for the story. Bleak and spare, but with a good sense for the obsessive compulsive nature of the main character---who was very well drawn. I found the other characters to be quite believable as well and the tone and execution was spot on. Well done. If you liked this author, I would try "To Read or Not to Read" which is also available for free on Kindle.

Highly enjoyable short read about a small, quaint, dimly lit bookshop. Meet Gunter von Strauss, the bookshop owner who has something for everyone… except, the books can’t leave the shop. You rent time to read them, and be careful what you choose!

A fast and fun horror story!
