Ghouls Are The New Zombies

Imagine having dark dreams that permeate your life. One man goes in search of help with a online ad. What he finds out changes his outlook forever. When he finds out ghouls are real it might be his salvation.

The Shimmer Effect by Randy Norton is a very original short story with a fascinating twist on the history of ghouls. While the story is told from a man suffering from night terrors who encounters the ghouls, I think the author should seriously consider writing a full-length novel, or a novella, at the very least.

The horror genre needs more of Norton's creatures. I think his ghouls could be the new zombie.

As always,
