Review - Evil by Kevin Bachar @KevinPangolin #evil

MY REVIEW

Can a place be evil?

How about Play Time Burgers: I know I won’t be jumping into any ball pits.

Bored: Sometimes being bored is a good thing.

Still Waters Run Deep: The lake is hungry and it demands to be fed.

Bus Load Of Trouble: Have you ever played the game where you are trying to guess what the person’s occupation? You never know who you’ll meet.

The Plan: Not every plan is a good plan.

I Dream Of Death: Is it a dream….or is it real?

The Shut In: Who tossed the mannequin onto the front porch?

The Cabin: Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Hello: Is a drabble, a one hundred word story.

Breezy: A Novella: I had an idea of what was going to happen and I know I would never want to be so isolated.

Evil is an anthology that contains nine short stories and one novella. Kevin Bachar can spin a terrifying tale and make you think twice about your preconceived ideas. Sometimes I laughed and sometimes I thought WT….

GOODREADS BLURB

Ten-year-old Cassie is playing in the ball pit at the local rundown fast-food palace when she feels something bite her leg and doesn’t want to let go.

The passengers on a cross-country bus trip make a stop that will change the lives of everyone on it, and reveal that one of the riders is hiding a horrific secret.

The locals in a remote mountain town know about the wind that supposedly can kill people; they avoid it at all costs. But when a young college meteorologist comes to study it, will he heed their warnings?

From the writer who brought you the best-selling short story collections DREAD, CREEP, and CURSED, comes a new set of tales that will force you to lock the doors and turn on the lights. EVIL forces you to confront the most terrifying element in our world – EVIL. In each story, we see how it manifests and then consumes those who dare to think they can battle it. In this book, GOOD doesn’t triumph over EVIL, it runs away and cowers under the bed and hopes and prays it goes away and never comes back. Can you handle something that is filled with pure EVIL?
