Rating: 4.5/5
Potter’s Field Blues by the author Michael Tyree is a collection of short stories. My favourite among them is the title story “Potter’s Field Blues”. Protagonist of the story is Monica. She is a prostitute. She was standing on 114th street when the Lincoln Town Car came. Other girls ran towards the car in the hope to earn money. When mystery man’s eyes from the car fell on Monica, he decided to take her to the town party. He showed a wad of five thousand bucks to Monica and she agreed to go with him for the night.
When they reached their destination, Monica was impressed with the rich dresses presented to her. She recognized rich faces among the crowd. Monica is at the most elegant party but she is still not happy. She is afraid thinking about her dead friend. When Monica entered the ballroom, soon things went wrong. Who is this mystery man? What will happen at the party?
Cover of the book looks simple. The story in the beginning (just first few pages) reminded me of the movie Pretty Woman. Story plot is nicely written. It is unique, full of horror and mystery. World building is amazing and I found the stories as captivating. Writing style of Michael is impressive. I really liked Monica’s character. Narration is so strong that I felt like I am watching a horror movie. I enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to read more work of Michael.
If you love reading dark horror stories then go ahead with this one.
