About the author
J.C. Moore
23 books29 followersJ.C. Moore has worked as a bartender, IT tech, touring musician, horse farm manager, and for one ill-fated season, ran a restaurant (the health inspector survived). His songs have turned up in TV and film, but these days his stories are more likely to end up in your hands than on your playlist.
He writes thrillers that dig into ordinary lives turned upside down. Secrets From a Serial Killer pulls readers into a small town hiding big secrets. Dead Man’s Payback follows Frank Mallory, a man who discovers that grief and vengeance can be two sides of the same coin.
Moore’s characters are rarely superheroes—they’re people with regrets, bad decisions, and just enough fight left to make things interesting.
He lives in upstate New York, where the roads disappear into woods, the neighbors wave from porches, and story ideas have a habit of following him home.

A couple of the stories had me interested, and I enjoyed what they had to offer. However, overall I don't think this style of story telling was for me.

This one has 7 stories in it. I can not wait for the second one in the Dark Intrigues book series.
My top 3 in this one are:
Black Mire: This one is about this weird black ooze that two brothers stumble upon and end up facing dire consequences because of it.
Soured: This one is about a dad who wants his middle aged daughter out of the house but her and her mother think differently.
Chasing nightmares: This one is about a guy who loves chasing ghosts who he gets one of his childhood friends to tag along for one last ghost chase at this manor. They get bad vibes and end up leaving. Years later he disappears and his friend figures where he went.
These stories are pretty much bleak and I enjoyed them for that.

This was a quick read, but a good read. Some of the stories were really good--especially the DV woman who's husband inhabits her child's doll, showing love to the child that wasn't shown in life....

Creepy
These are all super creepy plots. Some of the stories are a slow burn and others pack a quick wallop. I enjoyed them all.

Very good collection. I liked that it not a super long book story’s it’s just right. J.C. Definitely has his own style that I enjoy and that’s why I keep coming back.

fear ruling people
Every one is faced with something but don’t want police for obscure reasons so fear controls. Good demonstration of over reaching fear
