Anthology 2: Night at the Demontorium

by Naima Haviland

Psychological meets supernatural in a room without dimensions known as the Demontorium. Located just behind a tissue-thin layer of normalcy, its corrosive influence seeps through. A modern woman unwittingly unleashes the murderous power of repressed emotion when an ancient rite she thought was harmless invokes a timeless evil. A lonely woman transforms computer data into a human boy, but defragmenting him may be the only way to save him. Seeking mental escape in the intricate world of insects, an abused child fights back with a deviant strain of household pest.
Hecate Cruiselines. Grandmother. Snow White Rose Red. iPeter. Four cautionary tales meant to tighten your grip on the thin layer that separates you from inhabitants of the Demontorium.

Reviews

[Audrey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not quite what I was expecting, but overall a good read. If you're looking for some sci-fi supernatural light reading, this is a pretty good place to find it. I did feel like there was a lot of cliffhangers. I found wanting more just to tie up the ends would have been nice. Then again I'm much more accustomed to full length novels rather than short stories.
