Wireless Widow
Taken by those who claim the dark as their own, the world falls to its knees. But is the promise of safety enough to save a small family from the destruction that haunts them… or will their worst nightmares become their reality?
Years before, Kane had left his wife Jax and young son Troy in an attempt to escape the pain of staying in a broken relationship. But when the world descended into mayhem overnight, only one thing was clear. No matter what happened now, his family had to survive.
Desperate, Kane leads his little family unit through the storm that threatens to erase life as they know it. Together, they search for shelter, a place they can escape the unfolding torment. With every shadow being a potential threat, the family has all but given up until a faint signal on a remote-control radio brings a glimmer of hope.
Lighting their path through the night, the promise of shelter gives them the courage they need to keep going. Dark against the velvet sky, violent twisting spirals adorn the large iron gates that offer safety. But have they truly found the shelter they seek or have they found the gates to Hell itself?
They only have one choice to make—take on the demons that own the dark, or discover what lies beyond the gates…

Fan of post apocalyptic fiction? After Black Winter by Darcey Coates, Wireless Widow is the first dark future book I've picked up. It's a new author to me but I'm happy to try any horror I can get my hands on especially as it's only 140 pages so can be read in a day or two.
It's set during and after an unspecified event that is bringing electrical disasters and murderous robotic monsters into the world. In amongst the chaos a mother and son are gathered up by her ex to be taken to safety. But what they think is safety turns out to be a strange carnival game run by the freakily friendly antagonist in which they'll all have to fight for their lives.
This was a fun read although it had a couple of problems for me. Firstly it felt like it needed a final edit, there were a couple of grammar issues here and there and repetitions such as a character being drawn "like a moth to a flame," twice in two paragraphs. The word desperate in the opening line of chapter one is highlighted, not sure why? Those issues didn't interfere with the story too much though.
I would also have preferred more build up to the break down of society rather than being dropped in the middle of it as I enjoy watching civilisation collapse (I'm weird like that). It was unpredictable in where it was going which is always a good sign as a reader and the ending was satisfying. Worth a read if you're a fan of watching the world crumble, especially if you have K.U.
