There’s a painting of five ballerinas that I kept staring at to make sure their eyes didn’t move. With chills running down my spine, every so often I stopped reading to look around my room, definitely over my shoulder. It was creepy like a movie you’d find on the Chiller channel.
This 3 part, 36 chapter novel spooked me from literally the first sentence–“ The stranger grinned and his sunken cheeks made his face look like a skull.”–to the very end.
A secret he desperately wishes he could forget. A secret about himself Lysander never knew. One that traces back to a witch’s brutal torture and execution 350 years before. Lysander’s frantic search for answers leads him to a dark secret. And when his friends and neighbors begin to die under mysterious circumstances, he knows his only hope is to uncover what the shadow wants. Now he can’t shake the eerie feeling he’s being watched. Lysander knows because he has seen it and he’s pretty sure it saw him too. A dark shadow that can possess its victims and force them into grisly acts of suicide. Something unspeakable is murdering the townspeople of Millingham and only seventeen year-old Lysander Shore knows what it is. I’ll blame it on the fact that during the holidays, my right-bottom wisdom tooth gave me pain, so I was doped up on painkillers and antibiotics.Īnyway, here’s my thoughts on Malice by Griffin Hayes: My stupidity had me write down the names of books and the AW screennames (instead of the actual author’s names). It would have been my first review, but I couldn’t find him on Absolute Write for awhile. Malice is the fourth book for my reading challenge. The plus side is you get a look of Griffin’s writing style, and you get a 7 chapter preview of Malice and an excerpt of Bird of Prey. At the end, I was like ‘I KNEW IT!’–in a good way.
Even though the story is very short, the set-up was amazing. Sims at Bellevere Heights Mental Institution that he isn’t crazy. I downloaded his free The Second Coming: A Horror Short Story, which the plot is Jack Barrow has traveled back in time to save his family from a sadistic killer. His horror stories sounded intriguing, so I wanted to take a chance on new authors instead of always buying the same stuff. I began my reading challenge after viewing this author’s sig–book covers and brief descriptions of his books–on Absolute Write Forum.
