  • Run Run Run As Fast As You Can
Format: Kindle
Many thanks to the author for the digital copy of this most interesting short story. Opinions are unbiased and entirely my own. She has a fake ID, a bag full of money, and a gun and she's running just as fast as she can, as far as she can. Behind her is her ex-boyfriend who keeps texting her ... I'm right behind you. Scared, and deadly tired she happens upon a small motel. If she can just get a couple hours rest, she thinks. She feels pretty safe in thinking he'll never find her here. According to the owner, the motel is empty ... so why does she keep hearing thumps and bumps in the next room? And a woman screaming? This is a terrific short story just in time for Halloween by one of my favorite authors. She's packed a lot of story in just a few pages. Characters are well defined. You can feel the fear oozing off the pages. Book Blurb -- Lisa Unger’s The Sleep Tight Motel is part of Dark Corners, a collection of seven heart-stopping short stories by bestselling authors who give you so many new reasons to be afraid. Each story can be read in a single sitting. Or, if you have the nerve, you can listen all by yourself in the dark. ... show more

  • Can’t say
Format: Kindle
I’m at a loss on what to write. I enjoyed reading this book, I get it and so will you. But I don’t wreck it and say what “IT” is.

  • An okay short story
Format: Kindle
I’ve never read anything from this author before, but I read another story in this ‘Dark Corners’ series & decided to give this one a try. Eve is on the run from her boyfriend, she’s got a bunch of cash & a gun & she thinks she can outrun her abusive boyfriend. But she stops at a motel, the proprietor Drew is like an angel, kind & caring & ready to protect Eve from whatever she’s done. I’ll admit I didn’t have this figured out til Drew & Eve start eating. Because of this twist, I gave the story 3 stars. This is a cozy story, not really an eerie or creepy one. Since it’s marketed as such, I took away some stars. But it was an ok read. Don’t think I’ll be reading more from this author, though. ... show more

  • Just in Time for HALLOWEEN...
Format: Kindle
This creepy-crawly story is another fine segment in the Dark Corners collection offered by Amazon. I enjoyed the first person POV as she shows us her internal battle. Similar to any Halloween story, or, of course, any campfire ghost story, you probably know how it will end before you even reach page three. The fun is in the journey to that destination. BLUSH FACTOR: If you have sensitive ears, you might want to pass up on this tale. Yet, if you do, you probably will come back and buy it anyway. (pssss...don't let your kids see it, because they're going to freak out if THEY get to read it.) When you plunk down you two bucks for this short story, remember to get the free accompanying Audible edition. I enjoyed listening to the professional narration far more than the written text. BOTTOM LINE A stimulating short story for the commute for only two bucks is fine. The bonus of an Audible edition for free makes this a winner. Five stars out of five. I am striving to produce reviews that help you find books that you want, or avoid books that you wish to avoid. With your help, my improvement will help you and me improve book reviews on Amazon. Together, you and I can build a great customer review process that helps everybody. Will you join me? It is people such as you who have helped me improve over the years. I'm still learning, and I have a great deal yet to learn. With your help, I'll improve every day. One request: Be respectful and courteous in your comments and emails to me. I will do likewise with you. Thank you so much for indicating if this review helped you, or for your comment. ... show more

  • Emotional!
Format: Kindle
This is a tough, emotional little tale with a nice ending, and I really enjoyed it. Unger’s prose is evocative and easy to read, and the story just flows. There are some rougher aspects to the story, but Unger’s care with the characters and the ideas in the story mean that Sleep Tight Motel packs a punch in a relatively small word count. For a fun, quick read, The Sleep Tight Motel is a good bet! ... show more

  • A pleasant short story by Lisa Unger.
Format: Kindle
This is a short story, from the anthology book titled ''Dark Corners'' by Lisa Unger. It is the first book of the American author that I read and certainly not the last, as it is evident that she is capable of building suspense, even in a limited-length story, and crafting really good dialogue. ''The Sleep Tight Motel'' is narrated by the feminine perspective of the protagonist who is escaping an abusive relationship and stops her journey for an overnight stay in a remote motel where soon bizarre things start to happen. The ending is twisty and satisfying, and leaves the reader hungry for more. I will keep in mind the name of Lisa Unger and in the near future I will relish one of her novels which seem to have a loyal audience among crime fiction fans. ... show more

  • Perfectly eerie.

A spooky short story with a twist I didn't see coming. Eve is on the run. She's receiving menacing text messages. All while trying to put as much distance between her and the text sender. She comes upon a roadside motel and fell the fatigue hit her body full force, so she pulls over to get some rest. It's quiet there and the only other person there is Drew. She plans on taking off as soon as the sun rises but Drew suspects she'll stay a little longer. ... show more
