I received a copy of this short story from the author for review.
Liturgy is a disturbing tale of horror masking it self in the everyday and normal.
That which is seen as normal is corrupted though and build upon,
and it is this entity that builds and feeds that makes mere humans cruel and unstable.
Holding in rage is never a good thing, but when something comes and feeds off of it,
builds it up in you, what are you able to do?
Read the story if you want to know.
This is a horror story so I would recommend you read it as long as you like the genre!
Do not read it if horror is not for you.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.
In a few pages the Author unfolds a story of demonic possession that feeds off of anger. Anger that does not show itself through normal action and living, but can come to the surface when fed by powers we can not control from a different realm. Yes this is a paranormal story, one of intrigue and mystery. The characters are average people living how many live today. But with the aide of a crystal can evil be personified? It can through possession. The Author shows us this.
Angel, learning to live after a stormy breakup, gets on with her life and finds a freedom that she doesn't realize she missed. But deep down an anger is lurking within herself that calls to a crystal that possesses a way for her to strike back at the one who hurt her. When Neil comes to demand forgiveness, Angel becomes something of nightmares to get him to leave her alone. With a climatic ending that will have you gasping for air, this tale is one that could continue at any time. I look forward to seeing where it turns up next!

This short story was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
This story takes you deep into the thought processes of the protagonist who finds a mysterious crystal that heralds the takeover of her consciousness from a demonic entity. The entity feeds upon her repressed anger, with horrific consequences for those closest to her. This is a story for horror lovers and you won't be disappointed. It is so plausible, it makes you wonder how easy it would be for this to actually happen.

I received a free copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.
I like the basis of the story... A malevolent force using a woman's suppressed rage to infiltrate her life and cause havoc. I do wish the story had involved getting to know angel, the main character and her ex ( the focus of her rage). I found it harder to lose myself in the story because of that.
Look forward to more offerings from this author :)

In "Liturgy" Brian Bigelow is in his element, a short and intriguing horror story about a couple splitting up. Angel has finally had enough of her boyfriend and kicks him out and her anger manifests itself in an obscure way, I can't tell you how, but I found this tale inspired and wonderfully dark. Another reviewer has already compared this to Stephen King and I could not agree more. This is truly an excellent story and one of Bigelow's best yet.
A must read.

I was given this book by the author in return for an honest review
I found this to be an exceptionally well written short story.
A delightfully dark tale of body invasion with a difference. Would love to see more of this story.
Can't wait to see what this author writes next.

Angel finally had enough of her boyfriend Neil. Holding on to anger and hate she moves away from him. A special pendant locates Angel and feeds off of her hate. Amazing short story that would make Stephen King jealous! WaAR

I was gifted this story by the author, who never asked for a review in return, but is getting one anyway.
I loved the main idea of this story. I found it to be a well written, very plausable tale.
Would have liked to see the story expanded a little though, as it is an idea big enough to have an excellent backstory for the crystal and its origins. Also the background of the couple, and the problems involved there could have been explored in more detail. Knowing why the crystal chose that particular person would have been excellent.
For a short story, it is packed full, and keeps you reading to see what will happen next. I normally avoid short stories, as I prefer to sink into a book and become totally immersed for hours, but I'm glad I read this one. I may look for more stories by this author.

I received this book to give an honest review.
I love horror stories and this book was a good and decent read, but I would have liked more horror in the book. More gory details or heck even more of a build up with the characters. It was a short story that could have used more to build it up.
I would have liked more of the characters past to help the story be more enjoyable. I did like the ending it was something I was not really expecting I truly thought that the entity would have stayed with the woman. But instead the tables turned a bit.
If you are looking for a short, kind of horror story then go and get your copy of this. I will be looking at more books from the author in the future to see what else he has up his sleeve.
