Summary: Nightmares which leap out of your mind and into the shadows
Review: Ten stories which wrestle with reality. For me there were echoes of Shirley Jackson with the understated. After all when the slashing's started then the show's nearly all over. What the author manages to do here is to dig deep into the psyche, twist on the nagging doubt and haunt the reader's own shadow.
At some point everyone has to wrestle with his/her own demons; and in these tales there is always something nasty lurking there, waiting for an unguarded moment, ready to pounce.
In Scary Nights, little Bobby is afraid of what might be in the closet. But it's Daddy who gets the job of finding out.
Stick Men has echoes of Harvest Home and the rituals surrounding the harvesting of crops.
While The Raid explores the haunting delights of Halloween and trick or treat.
The author creates a malevolent atmosphere in each tale which slips away from the "challenge of reason".
