No Dice

HALL OF TWELVE by Rebecca Besser is one of her older short stories, but still a horrific thriller, with a mix of Lovecraft and science fiction. Readers experience Besser's nightmare through the eyes of a father who has come home to find a bloodbath within his home. He joins a group of his neighbors in an effort to find safety, dig up answers and exact revenge.

The Beings and their "pets" are easy to envision with the author's detailed imagery. While very little is revealed about the human survivors, readers will still be able to relate to the hopelessness of the new Hell on Earth. Never has a game of dice been so terrifying and demoralizing.

As always,
