Shadow Walkers | Horror Review | AstraDaemon

BAD VISION by Dave Jeffery is a strange story, quite different from his supernatural and post-apocalyptic stories. I struggled with the format of this one because the POV changed often, without warning, and I had to backtrack several times once I realized the storyline had shifted from one character to another.

This is more or less five short stories blended together to form one novella, with Ray being the one to connect them all, even if the connection is tenuous at best. Jeffery presents a psychic, an adulterer, a murderer, a stalker and an artist  to readers, while cleverly comparing and contrasting the different shades of immorality. I suppose the detective could pass for a sixth, with his story being a crime drama of sorts.

If you would enjoy a soap opera of deception and horror, this is one you can't pass up.

As always,
AstraDaemon
