Book Review of BACKWATERS

The book starts off strong with its first story LYLE AND THE SPACEMAN.

An ordinary day at the barber shop takes a shocking turn, one you could not have imagined. 

Then there is A Dead Cat Christmas, the fifth story in the collection that has a horrifying twist that will probably make you flinch as you read the grim details. 

The last story in the collection is a novelette called Hydromaniacs. The story interconnects with the other stories in the collection and in the same fashion. 

All the stories in the book are bound to leave you entertained but also a little queasy. 

The author breathes life into each and every character, skillfully giving them different personalities and inducing shock and gore into each story.

This is a horror story anthology you do want to add to your book collection.
