The Nightcomer: A Morbid Tale

Trish and Henry mistakenly turn onto a dead-end street. The wrong street, at the wrong time of twilight, and find themselves in the grip of the Nightcomer. But in this cul-de-sac of horrors these two people, so busily caught up in their lives, will find that there can be only one kind of ending on a dead-end street.

A Good Scare!

Trish and Henry gets lost trying to find Bannerman’s house. One of Henry’s co-workers, who’s invited them to a party.

But after forty minutes of stumbling around searching, and of course Henry’s iPhone not working, the couple blessedly decides to ask for help...

Boring in my opinion...

I surely never want to get lost in this neighborhood, omg! so husband and wife go looking for an address and some how end up in a very wrong neighborhood, this was pretty good I have to say.

Not bad, not bad at all but... For some reasons I didn't care for the main characters Trish and Henry and I can't explain why that is. Nonetheless, the story is well written and the story quite morbid, to use the series title. I'm glad it wasn't the first story I read from this author because I don't know if I would have picked up another one, but having read the previous ones I'll keep reading what this author has to offer!

If you like weird and morbid, here is your daily treat. A quick read, you will get a quick helping of both. These are pretty strange and somewhat gross but it is all in fun for the reader's pleasure. I love these books, as this is the third that I have read though there is no ordered reading required. If you like horror and morbid, this is it at its finest.

Climbing the corporate ladder can be the death of you. A young couple gets lost on their way to a party at a co-workers house. Everything that can go wrong, does. The streets are deserted, the lights in the houses low, peering eyes watching them carefully as they eagerly await for something, or someone? Was it an accident that they ended up here or intentional?

The Nightcomer is a bit more graphic then the others, but nothing too bad. This one actually surprised me a bit. I would like to read more about this Nightcomer…

Not bad for a short

This was a little 20 minute read. It wasn't bad but I think I was expecting more gore. I think I'm just used to splatterpunk. I will definitely continue reading the Morbid Stories.

Kinda scary

The couple is completely dysfunctional & the community dwellers are refreshingly different. There are some places where you can see the outcome, but the ending is quite disturbing. Quite good for a short story. I liked it.

*The stories in The Morbid Tales series are stand-alone tales. There is no order to reading each book.

This was another great short horror.
Very morbid and I loved it.
For me it was like watching the Twilight Zone episodes but with horror so right up my alley this.
Getting lost in the wrong neighborhood is always going to be good.
Love these stories so much!
Can't wait to read the next one now.
Recommend reading.

Fantastic!!

Ever needed to be somewhere kind of important and you end up getting lost? That’s how the story turns out couple going to a dinner for the man’s work and they get turned around I think they’re in the right place but oh my god are they wrong! The story is very fast-paced and is the third one in a group of stories or shall I say morbid tales. It’s very fast-paced and I really really like this one because the ending and what you find out about this wrong turn will kind of worry you from ever getting lost when heading somewhere again. Highly recommend this story and cannot wait to read the next one!!

“There was something unnerving about the couple standing in the door.”


Set in Calumet City, a forty-five minute drive from Chicago, Illinois.

Trish and Henry Parker have been married for eleven years.

They’re in a posh neighborhood, and end up at a cul-de-sac.

The couple is walking to Eric Bannerman’s house. But they get lost.

Asking for directions is a big mistake.

Nice prose; ominous tone throughout.

Scary, gross, gory, weird.


“Nightcomer. Bring me a ream…A ream of flesh and a pound of bream!”

This one was alright. A decent short story. Not super scary, but much less childish than the previous 2. But meh. But free.

Chilling

This was one the better creature of the night stories. You were expecting one outcome and it turned and became something else
