Small Town Beef | AstraDaemon

CHEATER CHEATER by Scott Donnelly is one of his older stories, and not quite as entertaining as his more recent work...which is a good thing because it means the author has been improving his craft with each publication.

This novella reads more like a movie script than a story. Not much character development, minimal backstory, and somewhat chaotic POV switches. However, if you enjoy 1980s slasher movies, you'll likely get a thrill from the mystery surrounding multiple murders.

If you prefer something with more filling, I recommend KILLER SCARECROW.

As always,

Blood, Tears and Ashes | AstraDaemon

KILLER SCARECROW by Scott Donnelly is a suspense-thriller for horror fans of all ages. In this novella, a young man dies in an accident as the result of bullying on Halloween. A year later, everyone involved in the tragedy is still struggling to recover from the night's deadly events.

Cash is not only left grieving for his best friend, but he has to face the bullies alone now. He also has to deal with a jealous boyfriend, and somehow stay safe while his classmates go missing and a neighbor is murdered.

Donnelly has cleverly mixed two common themes, coming of age and deadly revenge, into a terrifying crime drama which ends in blood, tears and ashes. I highly recommend this twisted creation by the author of THE WHOOL.

As always,
