The Tower

Like Sideways Stories from Wayside School meets Lovecraft, we're given short vignettes regarding horrors involving an apartment building with a life of its own. I rather enjoyed Pauley's style and storytelling, but I felt the overall collection underwhelming. Each story on its own was a lot of fun, but the way they were tied into one another was a little weak in my opinion. Also, with only three stories, and only one that had much of a plot, the book seemed lacking. I could've easily given this 4 or even 5 stars if there was more here. Maybe we'll get a Tower 2 and 3 or beyond and even a collection. I'd be beyond excited for that. I'd definitely recommend reading this for fun, but don't expect much more than a quick tease of what could (and should!) be part of a much larger collection.

Edit: after reading another of his collections, I'm giving this one 5 stars
