[A.J. Bell · Rating 5 out of 5]

D.W. Metz does not disappoint with this great horror story.

An antique typewriter, a writer in need of inspiration and a dark muse that suddenly appear are a great combination for this horror story full of mystery, blood, guts and gore.

The poetic combination of words, the vivid descriptions and the emotions portrayed in these pages take you to the place where nightmares become real and reality is a nightmare. No matter how much you want to wake up, you are trapped for good.

I was given the book for a fair and unbiased review.

This is a great short story with quite a few twists, this is slightly reminiscent of other books with the same type of storyline, but this one does end differently, and I also enjoyed the final twist at the end of the story.
