Recently finished the two Shady Hollow short stories. Man, are they short but I liked them! My fav was the Phantom Pond, I really liked the atmosphere and really felt like a cozy mystery with Halloween (Gate Night), the legend of Creeping Juniper, etc. I enjoy a quick read personally, and I like how it's not stressful to read the series. They don't spoiler the books in the main series, which is a nice touch.
I like to imagine the animals as Animal Crossing, Fantastic Mr.Fox or Hoodwinked. I saw some reviews complain about the characters being animals doing human stuff which I'm like? Personified animals are quite popular in media.
Anyway, I'd love to see a stop motion movie on any of the series, specifically Phantom Pond. Couldn't tell you why that one specifically, but I imagined it as stop motion. Has anyone else read the books? I wanna talk about them, but no one else I know has read them 😔 I'm going to start Twilight Falls soon, and I'm eyeballing Summer's End coming out this year.
