Synopsis:

nightlight-trey-dowellA new work of horror short fiction from the Derringer-nominated author of Ballistic and The God of Speed.

Nine-year-old Kayla suffers from horrible dreams, along with the nagging fear that monsters will come for her in the night. Employees of the Stafford Sleep Clinic think they know better, until an astonished technician discovers that beyond all of the machines, wires, and monitors he trusts so completely, the little girl’s fears may not be imaginary after all.

Review:

This is a super fast read!  It’ well written, and I liked the writing style; the way the author was able to make you feel for the two characters in the story was impressive!   Especially in such a short story. There was an undertone of scariness subtly added and the final line was perfect.

I would be very interested in reading more by this author and am hoping that a longer story is in the works. I recommend this for folks who enjoy subtle spookiness , well written idea,s and are looking to get a peek of a really nice writing style!
