Horrific!

Don’t get me wrong. I am a horror lover. A horror aficionado. But this book is so horrific, I had to step away from it a few times while reading it. I guess what I am trying to say is, if you love being scared, this book will do it.

A tight little horror story about the possession of a young boy by demons and the desperate deal his father must make with the mimic to save him. I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.

An injured war veteran's son gets bit by a gruesome, and tortured soul found lurking in the shadows. Taken to the hospital, rabies or infection are expected, but feces, vomit, and crawling on walls sort of leads his parents to believe its a possession. Cure? Invoke the help of another hellish creature.

Mimic is extremely detailed, and some descriptions definitely keep you up at night, or stifling a bit of an upchuck. Characters are believable, and the reader is left wanting to know more about the world of these fictional disturbing demons.

Mimic is a dark and disturbing short tale that sees young Cole and his parents go through a terrifying ordeal.

Pestilence and the supernatural are at the heart of this story, following in the wake of evil. The author's use of description plants vivid images in the reader's mind, that work to shock and disturb.

I had some issued with the eBook's formatting, but story-wise, I loved every minute and found myself sucked into the author's world.

Rated 4/5 stars.

This book had such a very cool premise; and if it was longer to explain anything I would have loved this. It felt like a lot of ideas but no idea the why’s of how anything happened.
