The trunk stinks of fertilizer, which Halleran says contained many bags and Holmes finds blasting caps still in the trunk.

Holmes concludes that Tim planned to sink the ferry. At the precinct, Watson shows Bell the evidence of Tim's plan which would have killed hundreds of people.

Both believe someone knew his plan but are puzzled why the person didn't report it and why Gregson was shot while trying to find Tim.

Questioning Elise again, she flatly tells Holmes and Watson that her son wouldn't be involved in a bombing. However, admitting that she thought her credit card was lost, she noticed a number of charges on it that she thought were fraudulent, including fertilizer.

Not believing Tim stole her card until now, she gives them her card statement. I know man, he punked me hard. At the hospital, having snuck by the guard, Holmes tells a comatose Gregson that he forgives him.

Paige interrupts and tells Holmes that she doesn't know what happened between them but that Gregson loved and missed him.

At the precinct, showing Bell the credit card statement from Elise, Watson points out charges to a diner next to a youth hostel where she found Tim was staying.

I found the stand out section of the book to be right smack in the middle. Gray fell into a pace, following the initial 80 something pages of perfect gloom, dread and violence, where she was writing stories that were more directly fables, puffy clouds with moments of solace, marvelous in execution and addictive as fuck to breeze through.

Those stories were a turning point in the tone, that came as a relief They're return and the shift in tone of the book, back tot he dark, was the shit.

The cover art, with a sketch of a woman with her vulnerable throat ripped out and she doesn't even seem to be phased summarizes this collection perfectly.

Aug 04, Book Riot Community added it Shelves: short-stories. This book is an overwhelming one. The effect of the writing in this short story collection catches you completely off guard in its intensity.

The clarity and simplicity of the writing nearly masks the great depth of the messages here. It is impossible to forget the piece about a woman who is oiled and then locked into the ductwork of a house.

She pulls herself along as the couple who owns the house keep track of their prisoner. It is eerie. The text has such ease.

I walked away from reading this This book is an overwhelming one. Apr 18, David rated it it was amazing. I love everything I get to read by Gray, but the power in these stories turns that love into a hushed awe of reverence.

The imagination and strangeness I hope for from Gray is amply there, but these stories are so much more unsettling than I expected, wilder.

It's almost dangerous, because I get the feeling that I can't be entirely sure that the stories mean me well.

More than just stunned, I was shaken. Shaken thoroughly enough that I'd have trouble explaining. It was wonderful. Aug 30, Robert Vaughan rated it it was amazing Shelves: books-i-read-in I was so looking forward to reading this, and it does not disappoint.

It does about everything else a reader can imagine: I laughed aloud numerous times, the bizarre twists of phrases kept me rapt, the unusual characters, and nauseating circumstances made me dizzy with glee.

It's a collection of stories that begs to be read more than once. And I will! Feb 17, Amanda rated it really liked it Shelves: short-stories-and-novellas , read-in For me, giving a short story collection 4 stars is like giving a normal book 5 stars.

I usually don't like short stories, but these were very good and I didn't get frustrated like I usually do while reading shorts. Jan 15, Justin rated it liked it Shelves: short-stories , horror.

Grays 37 short stories and flash fiction display her visceral and bizarre style teeming with unique and thought provoking ideas.

One In the Moment A couple lives together, practicing mindfulness, only to find a sense of emptiness. This bizarre story looked at characters who felt they couldnt deal with reality, so in their own game, House Heart, find a sense of security.

A really short and strange story. This fable of a story shows creativity without a concern for reality and the voice of others. Grant recalls the past as he butchers a bird.

It was an interesting historical perspective. There were some interesting characters here. The detached style and possible analogy to dependence on drugs made this a disturbing read.

This seemed incomplete. This was a bizarre story. This seemed like a cool idea and it deserved more than two pages.

This was a brilliant piece of flash fiction. It was bizarre. Gray writes whatever she wants, whether sarcastic, blunt, or shocking, and her style alone makes this worth reading.

Nonetheless, some of her flash fiction seemed underdeveloped and more like experimental vignettes. Overall, this is a unique collection of original and strange stories by an author with a noteworthy style.

I'm completely torn as to whether give this book four stars or five, but I'm rounding up because holy shit Amelia Gray's mind is out of this world.

Her imagination and writing are almost unreal. Jan 20, Leif rated it really liked it. Joyous because once you've let go of your boundaries, once the body becomes open and porous and wounded, you've got only yourself to explore.

Words like "wild" and "horror" come to mind. Joyous — because once you've let go of your boundaries, once the body becomes open and porous and wounded, you've got only yourself to explore.

It's a brilliant deadpan deconstruction with whip-smart lines, wryly punctured and cunningly inflated at once.

Friend: Why are you buying a pregnancy test? Girl: Dan took a gut-shot in me the other week and now my period is late.

Gut Shot. Able to be passed off as a " sleep fart ". It was hot as hell when I woke up and the bitch tried to come spoon me.
