Keep in a Cold, Dark Place

Limpy knows that there is more to life than the family farm and wants a chance to shine at art school but it seems like she will never get the chance. While storing potatoes in the cellar, Limpy finds a mysterious box and makes the huge mistake of opening it. Inside she finds mysterious eggs which hatch into adorable creatures. Or so she thinks. Limpy discovers the creatures are not what they seem and she needs to find a way of undoing the damage she has done and salvage any chance she has to go to art school. I found "Keep in a Cold, Dark Place" by Michael F. Stewart to be a fun and fast read. I know others have said it but I am also reminded (to a degree anyway) of the gremlins but these guys have a bit of a nasty quality to them. I doubt that I will ever look at potatoes the same way again. The book is written in such a way that it would be a good introduction to horror for preteens/teens. I received a copy of this book from the publishers via Netgalley for free in exchange for an honest review.
