DID
SOMEBODY SAY HORROR?
Today’s
offering is one copy of NIGHT WORLDS by the awesome Steve Marshall. Once read,
it’s not easily let go. If brain freezing terror is your thing, this one might
be for you. Your chance to win will be announced on FB’s official event page so
stay tuned!
Here’s a little
bit more about NIGHT WORLDS and Steve Marshall.
NIGHT
WORLDS
Steve
Marshall is an easy-going, affable, family man. His characters are average
citizens who battle the same demons we all do: boring jobs, fractured
relationships, and the dullness of routine. They live in small towns, dream of
more exciting lives and feel guilty when they give in to temptations like
alcohol, lust and the dreamed-of better world “out there”. Thankfully, for us,
the similarity ends there. Thankfully, we are not characters in a Steve
Marshall story.
The ease
with which we can identify with the hopes, dreams and flaws of these ill-fated
souls, is what makes us read on, all the while glancing over our shoulder,
double-checking the lock on the door and turning on another light in the
darkened room.
In the
pages of these stories, inexplicable town mysteries are solved in ways that
make us wish we didn’t know the truth. Villains become heroes by breaking vows,
yet we side with them and are forced to admit we would do the same. We become
voyeurs through the lens of Steve’s infallible vision of a dark and twisted
world.
Go
ahead. Ride out the storm in that motel. Steal a bit of midnight delight in the
cemetery after the gates close. After all, what is there to be afraid of?
