Deliciously Dark Tales - J E Thompson - Bog

Discover Dark Tales at their finest. Not the "Boo, I scared you," kind of tale. Nothing will jump out of this book and scare you. The written words never leave the page. You can watch them. But once you've feasted on these fresh new tales, they will cling to you, sneak up on you when your mind is turned. You'll tingle when a shiver from, It's Always Best With Roses, slithers up your spine. If you are looking for happy ever after's, kindly vampires, or socially adept specters, you've taken a wrong turn. These tales hearken back to the days when dark tales were, well, dark. Stories meant to make you look under the bed before you drop off to a restless night of wondering what lies in the shadows cast by moonlight bleeding through The Hallway window. Nights when you turn on a light, because you swear that shadow by the door moved. Then, you leave a light on, not that you're scared... but as you stare at the drawing on your wall you wonder what, or who, guided The Artist. At some point, you drop off to sleep. Disturbing images slither through your dreams, and you awaken - sweaty - panting - you reach for the light you don't remember turning off. You wish night would end, then you could go about your normal life, except you scrutinize your food as, Lunch With My Mentor, replays in the back of your mind. You recall back to a time when you weren't afraid to close your eyes, because that's when the Used Bricks call to you. What's that sound in the dark? Claws scraping against tile? Clean, some mature topics. Praise for J.E. Thompson's YA novel, Revelation "This is one book where I can actually say that I liked all the characters... It was a really good experience...I'd say this book is definitely worth a read." "It was such a fun read...The story is smoothly written and the right mix of originality and realism." Deliciously Dark Tales is: "Great!! I have read many so-called scary stories that have failed to give me goosebumps, but this collection is sure to thrill and chill you to the bone!!!" Stephanie, Goodreads Review "Vintage YA horror-style with plot-derived fear instead of gore-based. It would probably make a good TV series." Michelle, Goodreads Review
