Description from the publisher:
Plumbing the depths of Hell. Together.
Welcome to the dark worlds of Laura Cooney and L. L. Soares, two writers of dark fiction who also happen to be husband and wife. Let them be your guides for an excursion through the uncharted regions of the horrific and the surreal.
Here are just some of the strange sights you’ll see along the way:
• A ghost girl takes her living playmate on an eerie hunt for buried treasure.
• On Halloween night, a college student finds a little black dress that’s more than just a fashion accessory.
• A sasquatch hides in the rhododendrons, waiting for the woman he loves.
• A group of super-smart monkeys are in the mood to peel a meal, but it ain’t bananas they’re craving.
• A husband and wife, bound together in a web of tragic secrets, are haunted by strange, pig-faced children.
My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): rapport
This is a cool collection of horror that was put together well. Loved how the stories all flowed through to the last story which ends with a bang.
Each story leaves you with a shiver or a squirm and thinking about relationships.

I enjoyed their article about true grit. I will see that movie at some point in time, because I like the coen brothers.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really good. I think the short stories are just the kind I love to read.
True Grit has my interest. Looking forward to seeing that.

Oh *SNAP*! Rare Exports grabbed me right off - a demon obsessed with who's been naughty or nice! Gave me a warm fuzzy just thinking about it LOL ;O
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'll see True Grit or not, I watched the original when I was just a kid, but Jeff Bridges is so dang good in everything he puts his hand to - might have to see this new remake :)
I must agree with a few of the others, Rare Exports looks awesome!!
