Prepare yourself for a collection of 15 nail-biting tales in 15 Disturbing Short Stories of Psychological Mayhem with Killer Endings by Mario Chávez Jovel. A man wakes up inside a coffin buried deep underground with gaps in his memories. Two robbers lay a trap for their unsuspecting victims but catch a large prey. The public demands answers for the arrest of a famous author, leading to the revelation of the dark secrets behind his masterpieces. A scorned ex-wife ruthlessly gets revenge on her cheating former husband. A young man finally gets the chance to confront and humiliate his childhood abuser. A woman teases her lover for having an affair with her mother. Plagued by jealousy, a man is shocked to discover the identity of the person with whom his girlfriend is cheating on him.
Mario Chávez Jovel's 15 Disturbing Short Stories of Psychological Mayhem with Killer Endings truly lives up to its name. This collection of short stories will have you biting your nails for most parts of the book. Each story has a twist ending that pulls the rug away from under your feet. You never know what to expect once you begin a new story. The author has a clear knack for crafting engrossing tales with shocking endings that you never see coming. Jovel also excels in creating characters who are easy to follow, and I was very much invested in their storylines. Although I enjoyed every single one of these tales, "The Catch," "The Secret Behind the Masterpiece," and "My Girlfriend" were my top three personal favorites. I highly recommend this collection to fans of psychological thrillers and horror!
