Book Cover for Yawatta Hosby's short story Plenty of Fish

The blurb:

Plenty of Fish

Local celebrity painter Mackenzie knows better than to talk to strangers.

But, he seems to know so much about her already...

PLENTY OF FISH is a 3,404 word short story full of suspense and terror

Teen & YA Crime Fiction Suspense Thriller

My thoughts:

Looking for short stories during the 2019 #DecTheShelves event, I bought Plenty of Fish by Yawatta Hosby. I have previously read a couple of Ms Hosby's books, and her horror stories take me right out of my reading comfort zone.

The cover suggests a chilling thriller, and the story does not disappoint. Although I would suggest this story is less about talking to strangers, and more about being aware of our own personal security.

Plenty of Fish opens with the single and locally well-known artist Mackenzie feeling she is being watched. She turns to see a man, a stranger she is sure. But he knows a lot about her, and she quickly begins to feel threatened by him. Fortunately a colleague arrives and the man leaves. But the stranger has promised Mackenzie that she will be sorry for the way she has treated him...

This is another well-written, short, dark tale from Ms Hosby, where I found myself holding my breath, expecting the worst, while still hoping to be wrong. It had me guessing at the plot from the start, but I did not foresee the twist in the tale or its brutal conclusion.

Plenty of Fish provides a sharp reminder to keep personal safety in mind at all times.
