Mostly Glitter

Emma has only one wish for her 13th birthday; to follow a strange presence that greets her each time she visits a place with the name 'Devil' in it. As she gets closer, it begins to consume her and everything that she loves.

DEATH AND GLITTER by Simeon Gregory is filled with plenty of suspense and horrific imagery, but Emma is a very flat character, and nothing substantial is revealed about the entity she meets. This story is't my cup of tea, and, while it's not the author's worst story, Gregory is capable of writing much better stories.

I recommend the stories Cinema 9 or Wooden Nickel instead.

As always,
