Consequences | AstraDaemon

Owing to its latitude and position close to the desert, the town of Lacksmouth rarely gets any precipitation. Rain is unusual. Big storms, incredible. But snow? Snow is not just unusual, it is impossible.

When Alan Warner wakes up from a coma and hears about the snow over Lacksmouth, he immediately becomes suspicious. When he is stopped by a local before arriving in town and told strange tales of what the snow did to people, he stops being suspicious and starts being certain.

Certain that his parents are dead. Certain that it was the snow that killed them and certain that the coming of the snow was in no way an accident.

SNOW OVER LACKSMOUTH by Stories From The Attic is a fantastic tale of terror...once you get past the long diatribe about conspiracy theorists. The narrator could have begun his confession at the moment of the car accident, and the heart of the story would still be just as horrifying.

I'm sincerely glad I did not read this during the winter season. This one will be giving me nightmares for a good long while.

As always,
AstraDaemon
