Hater by David Moody – Review
Hater by David Moody
No TagMoody throws the reader right in at the deep end from the outset. On a crowded city street, an unassuming man on his way to work suddenly snaps, brutally attacking an elderly lady. Certain that there’s something wrong with her, he knows he has to kill her, despite the crowds of people trying to stop him.
As the attacker is surrounded by a hostile crowd and finally pinned to the ground by police officers, he sees everyone around him to be as much of a threat as the elderly woman dying close by.

Hater by David Moody Without warning, ordinary people suddenly turn into violent lunatics, attacking strangers, friends, and even family members.

Thieving Fear by Ramsey Campbell – Review

Thieving Fear by Ramsey Campbell It’s impossible, as a reader, not to get caught up in the panic felt by each of the protagonists.

Not because of the stranger on the street who’s a Hater, but because of your wife, or child, who suddenly becomes one. What do you do when

My Work Is Not Yet Done: Three Tales of Corporate Horror by Thomas Ligotti There’s a chilling insidiousness to Ligotti’s work that held me spellbound through each tale.

Through a Glass, Darkly by Bill Hussey In the opening paragraphs of the book the reader is introduced to Jack Trent, a man being forced to witness desperate visions by some very personal inner demons, visions he has not suffered for twenty years until the story begins. Still reeling from the effects of Jack’s harrowing
