OUR LITTLE SECRET by Kiersten Modglin deserves to be made into a mini-series. Not unlike a soap opera, a secluded neighborhood is about to explode with all the dirty laundry the residents have been trying to hide. A missing husband, a dead wife, an affair, and teenagers sneaking around while their parents try to stop an investigation. With judgment, suspicion and scandalous behavior increasing with every passing day, individuals must decide who they are loyal to and who they will sacrifice. The ending is a kick to the head.

If you enjoy stories such as EYES ON YOU (Kate White) or A LINE OF BLOOD (Ben McPherson), then you definitely need to read this one!

As always,

YOU WILL SURVIVE THIS NIGHT by Indrapramit Das is easily the best short story I've read this year. I wish this was a true story. I love how the author put a supernatural twist on a serious social issue. Highly recommended.

THE SONG OF THE LADY ROSE by Gabino Iglesias is a terrifying read, and I'm glad I didn't listen to the audio version because I probably would've spoiled myself.

I love the writing style of Iglesias and will definitely be reading more of his work.

I recommend this short to everyone.

THE CABIN by Brian Evenson is the second story I've read by this author, and, once again, I love this story. Centered on a hunter, living in solitude, the suspense builds as the snow increases.

I expected a Wendigo or some other forest cryptid, but what Evenson delivers is a creature which will haunt my nightmares. Highly recommend this one!

MUSIC OF THE ABYSS by Shaun Hamill is the first story in a long time to remind me of Lovecraft, but surpasses anything written by the old master.

I wish this was a full-length novel.

SPYDER THREADS by Craig Laurance Gidney is a fantastic tale of otherness. The imagery is powerful, and the characters are striking.

Very well-written.

IF LIVING IS SEEING I'M HOLDING MY BREATH by Sunny Moraine is an excellent addition to the sightless-apocalypse genre. After interacting with Ellis over time, Riley begins to feel the increasing "call of the void."

Highly recommend this one.
