Friday Fright: Psychotic

 

PETRIFIED WOMEN by Jeremy Ray caught me off-guard. I expected one kind of story and ended up somewhere I never would have predicted.

The story moves in a direction I didn’t anticipate, and that sense of unease builds naturally. You’re never quite on solid ground, even when you think you’ve caught on. That unpredictability is what makes it so thrilling.

The ending is dark and a little cruel, the kind that leaves you sitting there for a minute after it’s over. I loved it. If you enjoy short fiction that surprises you and isn’t afraid to go bleak, this one is absolutely worth your time.

As always,
AstraDaemon
