Hersham Horror just continues to impress me. For a smaller publishing company, they are putting out some monstrously entertaining books. A couple of months ago, I reviewed ALT-ZOMBIE, which is a collection of unique stories about the living dead. That book is wickedly fun and full of surprises. Now Hersham is giving us five tales of spine-tingling terror related to siblings. And let me tell you: these stories are NOT for the faint of heart!
Much like ALT-ZOMBIE, this collection showcases the talents of five authors who bring new concepts and new insights of horror to the table. Each author writes with authority, giving us, the readers, a personal glimpse at inner demons that may or may not haunt them in real life. But regardless, these stories will linger in your mind long after you turn that final page.
My favorite story in SIBLINGS is “Chapter Bank” by Simon Kurt Unsworth. In this tale, a man is haunted by the ghostly form of his sister, who in turn is running from something in the afterlife of which she is terrified. Unfortunately, the way to put his sister to rest is not as easy as he imagines and his final act might be more horrific than words. Unsworth paints a vivid and hauntingly real picture in this story and the final sentence is burned into my brain forever.
From brothers that house mysterious creatures within their dwellings to sisters who have an obsession for killing, these five stories are guaranteed to send a chill down your spine. But don’t expect regurgitated plot-lines here; these are original pieces and they are masterfully crafted to entertain.
SIBLINGS is available in a couple of different formats over at Amazon.com. Be sure and pick up a copy today; I think you’ll be glad you did.
