Twitching Light

by Alyssa Hazel

When light twitches through the dark, who knows what you'll find there? Eldritch beings? Ancient dragons? Or the reek of decay-infested lost souls? Twitching Light is a short story and poetry collection that seeks to answer this question through the exploration of the fantastical, bizarre, and disturbing niches of our world. So light your candles and grab your vorpal blades, for an Orphic journey lies before us.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Alyssa at a Horror convention, where I had picked up this book. As a self-published indie author myself, I truly embraced and admired her creativity and unique acquirements that made this book very enticing.

A few of my favorites, without giving spoilers away, had to be The Man with the Stick, Herxheimers, and especially It’s a Gambler’s City. Her mixture of short stories and poetry was something I’d never experienced before while reading an author’s work. Bravo.

I recommend this book to anyone who thinks outside the box, loves horror, and simply loves and supports other indie authors’ creativity. Cheers to your future success, Alyssa.

My dad picked this up for me at the Tidewater Horror Con and I’m glad for it because it was a great, quick read! Loved the short story/poetry set up and some of the stories have definitely sunk their teeth into me. Hope to see Alyssa continue in her writing!

I was a bit taken back by the book. I expected pure horror, but instead it turned out to be an anthology of a fair few genres meshed together. It reminded me a bit of Tales of the Darkside, in that there is horror, but also some level of comedic and even a feel good story here and there.

Good read, recommend it
