Search and Destroy

by Steve Byrne

A short story from the author of ‘Phoenix’—a dark horror adventure set during the Vietnam War

Vietnam 1967

A unit of Vietnamese fighters ushers an ancient ox cart through the jungle trails of the Central Highlands. What is the secret of its bloody, fly encrusted cargo?

For the Special Forces team tracking them, the only way to find out is to follow them below ground—into the dark heart of a Viet Cong tunnel complex, where something evil waits.

About the author

Steve Byrne was raised on horror novels, horror movies, and horrible music. It shows. He’s still passionate about all of them, despite being slightly twisted, slightly jaded, and slightly deaf. He is the author of “Phoenix”, a dark horror thriller set during the Vietnam War, and “Craze” a tale of black magic apocalypse. Steve also has a number of short stories released in various small press publications and anthologies. While plotting the destruction of everything you hold dear, Steve can be found picking through the urban wastelands of the West Midlands.

Reviews

[James Everington · Rating 5 out of 5]

A tense & gripping short story set in the same milieu as the author's superb horror novel 'Phoenix'.
