Ive often said that writing a great short story requires even more talent than writing a full length novel. There is less time to develop great characters, and give clues as to where the plot is going. Michelle Muto has that talent. I loved this book! There are 4 great short stories, and one novella. And without giving away any spoilers, I'll just say that if you are an animal lover, the novella can be a real tearjerker. Continuing in my quest to read everything this author has published......

Nature Fifth Season eBook Michelle Muto Reviews

I am not ordinarily a reader of short stories but this is a book you must read. As I read each story I came away with the feeling I was watching "Twilight Zone". Each story was a fantastic read in which I thought I knew where each story was going but was pleasantly surprised to find I was wrong. It was all topped off with a love story that only Michelle could write. No spoilers here because you all need to experience it on your own. You won't be sorry. If you are already a fan of Michelle or have not yet experienced her writing this is a great quick starting point for you.
This is my third book by author Michelle Muto. Just when you think you've gotten used to an author's style, they change up on you in the most pleasant of ways. "Nature's Fifth Season" was a book that made me feel like I was a teenager again reading Stephen King's "Night Shift." It has all the elements of nice chills, and disturbing turns. It was nice to see her tackle the anthology format. I hope she writes more of them.
I won't do any spoilers. Each story stands perfectly on it's own, two in particular grabbed me. One on a very visceral level, and the other emotionally.
It's very visual in style and makes a great afternoon read, or if you'd like some creepy just before bedtime literature
This is a group of short stories that represent the seasons. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Nature’s Fifth Season. Trust me, it’ll make sense when you read it. Each one has some form of paranormal aspect. Some of the stories are funny and cute. They all have at least one interesting twist. Some are down right creepy and I dare you to read the last story and not shed a tear. This is the perfect book to pick up when you’re in between reads or just want to read through one of them when you have a little bit of spare time.

Eleanor

The description of Eleanor above pretty much says it all. The tables are turned on a pair of teenagers when they decide to take on Eleanor. She may look like a defenseless little old cat lady, but appearances can fool you. I almost felt sorry for them at the end… almost. ;)

The Goblin

How many kids are afraid of the monster who lives under their bed or in their closet? Jeremy had some pretty steadfast rules when it came to monsters and he tried not to break them. I’m glad I read this one when my days of checking under the bed and in the closet for my kids were long over. *shivers*

Crossroads

Honesty is the best policy, especially when it comes to marriage. This couple learned an important lesson about honesty and some interesting consequences of keeping secrets.

Dear Maddy

I can honestly say that I didn’t see the twist in Dear Maddy coming. The story was a series of letters written to the ghost of a man left behind after her death. That’s pretty much all I can say without giving anything away.

Touch

Oh Colt… such a good dog. This story was unique in a lot of ways, but mainly because it was told totally from the dog’s perspective. It began with Colt at the Pound on the day that he found his new Forever Home with Becca and her family. Touch covers the life-span of Colt… and beyond. I have to be honest, I knew what I was in for when I started reading Touch, but I still wasn’t prepared. If you are a dog lover, be forewarned. This story will bring back every memory you’ve tucked away if you’ve ever loved and lost a dog. Even if you’re not a dog lover, I dare you (again) not to feel something when you read this story. There is no doubt in my mind that dogs sense more than we can imagine. Michelle Muto reinforces that in Touch and gives them a ‘voice’ that I totally believe they internally have. *sigh*

Nature’s Fifth Season by Michelle Muto. Unlimited.

Nature’s Fifth Season is composed of four short stories and one novella. It is by an Indie author whose work I’ve long admired. I first read her The Haunting Season a couple of years ago, and couldn’t wait to get back to more of her work. I wasn’t disappointed by this book either. The first story is Eleanor, an elderly lady who has a lot of cats. Two teenagers come to rob her and discover too late that just because someone looks to be an easy victim, doesn’t mean they are. I shuddered at this story, so gruesome. I love cats and this one made me a little nervous, lol.
The Goblin is the next up. It’s about a boy who’s afraid of something under his bed. He wants the light left on to chase it away but things go a little dark in the story. In a word awesome!
Crossroads is about a road trip that literally leads straight to hell. A couple must admit hard truths to each other when they are being hunted and things don’t look good for either. Inspired by a college course, it’s truly a ride you won’t forget.
The novella is Touch. It is a sad and bittersweet story about a girl and her dog who she rescues from a shelter. He fears she will leave him like his former family did. She needs him to sustain her through life’s hardships. Together, they are an unbeatable team. So, so heartbreaking and triumphant. A definite tear-jerker.
There you have it! Something for everyone. I love Michelle’s work and can’t wait to read more by her.
