Fridge Must Be Lovecraft Model

WATER, ICE, AND VICE by Antonio Simon Jr. is one of the most horrifying short stories I've ever read. What happens to Jeremy is beyond tragic, and the guy just can't seem to catch a break. His roommate, Scott, is a huge POS and deserved far worse. Cthulhu must own stock in Jovian Electro-domestics.

By The Numbers

RED AIRWAVES by Antonio Simon Jr. is a short story about a man who is convinced the Soviets are going to bomb the U.S. during the Cold War. He builds a bunker and monitors the airwaves for coded messages. While chasing his conspiracy, his life falls apart.

The ending is a bit of a surprised. Not the author's best story, but not his worst either.

Procrastination Is A Killer

HOT WIRES TO HEAVEN: A LIGHT SOCKET LOVE STORY by Antonio Simon Jr. is a flash fiction piece centered on a man harassed by an empty light socket. I love unreliable narration, always creates a shock. (Pun absolutely intended.) The ending is gruesome, but not as graphic as I expected.

Not a bad short, but the author has written much better stories.
