Never Trust Cherry Chapstick Girls

PARAMORTAL by J.M. Tompkins is not "a fun tale full of playful horror." Nothing fun or playful about the events which take place. This story is, in fact, an excellent mix of the supernatural and dark horror. While the beginning is a little flippant, with the POV belonging to a horny college guy, the story soon takes a very sinister twist.

I thought this might have something to do with the undead, or some similar abomination, but the nightmare Tompkins unleashes on her readers is much more complicated. The Curator is quite a character...I wouldn't mind a sequel with Gary doing some research on the old man's personal history. Paramortal's concept is too awesome too keep confined to one short story.

I do agree with the book's description: Evil Dead fans will enjoy this one. Maisey has some truly cringeworthy moments, and I'm thinking she needs a sequel as well.

As always,
