There’s something in the water in this hallucinatory short story by Paul Tremblay, bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and The Beast You Are.

Journalist Heidi Cohen is in Cape Cod investigating the sources of recurring toxic algae blooms along the coast. A local named Jimmy has his own theory for her. Every year the fetid growth gets worse—but it’s been going on longer than anyone knows. Decades ago, something happened to Jimmy that he’s never forgotten. Is Heidi ready for the real story?

Paul Tremblay’s In Bloom is part of Creature Feature, a collection of devilishly creepy stories that tingle the spine and twist the mind. They can be read or listened to in one petrifying sitting.

I’m not sure what was going on here but I didn’t like it. And I hate saying that because I’m a fan of the author. But this just ain’t it.

Not Tremblay’s best

i couldn't follow or get into the story. It seems like the author had a good idea in the beginning but didn't know how to explain or find a good direction for the book

story was all over the place and ended so abruptly.

I read a sci-fi story by Paul Tremblay that i loved, so I'm really disappointed by this one. The narrators were Ugg!! The guy's voice was waaay too deep. It hurt my ears and my brain. There was waaaay too much baseball stuff in the story he told. And idk it felt like the build-up and reveal of this monster, w/e it was, could've been a lot better

Meh

I was interested in the story but it went nowhere. Female narrator was better than the male

That's it?

This one just didn't come together quite as well as the other stories in this collection for me. I still liked it, though

Good but not great

I was really into the story but the ending felt ununfinished. it felt pointless. the performance was very good though.

hated the ending

More sci-fi than horror. This was well-written and entertaining but seems a bit of an oddity to be included in the Creature Feature collection.
Part of the Kindle Unlimited catalog.

Wrong Collection?

Well, at least I was able to get all the way through it without suffering too much. Better than Malerman’s story because at least the narration here was pretty decent. Otherwise, pretty unimpressive. 🫤

Hmmmmm…

In Bloom is the fourth book I read in this collection and the least scariest IMO.

Jimmy recalls his childhood experience of toxic algae that grows near a field of America's favorite pastime. ⚾ Not a bad story but I didn't love it as much as the others.

Decent

It has an interesting premise but it never went anywhere scary or fun and just ended abruptly.

I don’t really know what that was
