‘Monsters’ is a short story collaboration between authors Terry Miller and Stephen J. Semones, containing six stories from each author for a total of twelve. And let me tell you, all twelve were excellent.
These stories are indeed all about monsters, from vampires and werewolves and ghosts to aliens and demons and that scariest of all monsters: humans. I truly enjoyed every single story but my favorites were:
The Tide (Semones) – in which a girl hovers between life and death; the suspense and desperation really got to me
100 Gallows Circle (Semones) – well, first of all, I’ve told you all before that I’m a sucker for any story with an address in its title; this story involves a couple of teenage boys tormenting an old man in their neighborhood – they think he’s a Nazi, but he’s much worse (or is he? is anything worse than a Nazi?)
The Girl with the Abysmal Eyes (Miller) – “Chase Blevins dreamt of Hell.” – that’s the opening line, and by the end he does more than dream of it; anything else I say would be spoilers.
The Morgue Things Change (Miller) – a lonely mortician gets a little too friendly with his, er, customers (though nothing sexual); the only friends he’s ever known welcome him with open arms.
The stories were scary, the subject matter varied, the writing excellent, the gore perfectly balanced, the protaganists relatable, the whole book well worth a purchase. ‘Monsters’ by Terry Miller and Stephen J Semones releases TODAY, September 29, 2020. Amazon has it for $12.00 paperback, $4.99 ebook, or free with Kindle Unlimited.
