The world is a dangerous place to live, we all try to belong to this world and we all try to follow the rules, unluckily for us every nation has a different set of rules and the boundaries of where one rule ends and one rule begins is smudged over.
It is down to us writers to paint the world in a different light, to create and recite stories that are easy to read and easy to understand, the world is a dangerous place to be but between these pages of this book the horror will not bite back at you.
The author brings you five short stories that will shake your soul and will have you keeping the bedside lamp on at night.
The World is Dangerous by Darren Hobson begins with a ridiculously long introduction, which is completely unnecessary, and not unlike a sermon. Mist and Snowfall, the first story, takes forever to get to any action and has a crap ending. Look What Daddy Did To The Sky, the second story, is worse than the first and read more like a history report. Corner of the Eye, number three, is far better than the first two and appears to take the form of sleep paralysis, but appearances can be deceiving. Lavender Girl, the fourth, is another meandering story. Impaled, the last story, is bitter and misogynistic.
Overall, none of these stories were frightening in anyway, and the author should've hired a professional editor, although I doubt any editor could've helped much with this steaming pile.
As always,
