From a Yellowstone day hike that veers into surreal territory, to a slaughterhouse on the verge of paranormal bedlam, to a strange island where a magical book may hold the key to a young castaway's happiness, Wanderings - A Collection of Short Stories, delivers six fresh, original, pulse-pounding tales guaranteed to mesmerize and entertain.

I always start my reviews of short story collections by saying that I am not normally their biggest fan but Bennett definitely left me pleasantly surprised.

I think this is largely to do with the fact that I enjoyed the connection between each of the stories, the theme of a journey of some description; however, Bennett’s writing style is also so enigmatic and entrancing that it just made the stories that much more enjoyable.

Filled with tension, horror, adventure, strangeness and wonder these stories were a hit with me and I reckon for many others.
