Amazon Synopsis:
Tales From The Parkland - A collection of horror stories that will keep you up at night. Reminiscent of The Twilight Zone, these tales of terror will make your heart race as they drag you into a world of nightmares.
The Garbage Collectors - Stephen comes home to find he has to make a decision. Which of his children will he sacrifice to the Garbage Collectors?
Big Boy - Peter hates it at daycare but what better place to face the end of the world?
Underneath The Stairs - Tommy thinks he's getting the better of Kevin but he hasn't met what's under the stairs yet.
Acid Rain - Rob and his family went for a walk until it started to rain. But when they turned back towards home, the screaming started.
A special bonus edition of the novella, Harmony - Sergeant James Cross started his day as usual with a run. Hours later he was still running, but now for his life.
One novella and eleven stories of horror for late at night. Welcome to the many "What If" scenarios of Ronald McGillvray's imagination.
Review:
"Afterward, I stood up and slowly walked to the garage door that led into the house. I turned off the garage light, opened the door and entered the house. For the last time."
Tales From the Parkland is a collection of 11 short stories and a novella. Including many horror filled themes: Aliens, oversized creepy crawlies, a childhood bogeyman, zombies, a serial killer in the making, monsters under the stairs, computer mishaps, a date night gone wrong, acid rains, altered personalities from strange weather, nightmarish realities, and a creature feature apocalyptic fight for survival.
Brutality, paranormal activity, alien invasions, revenge, mutants, abhorrent characters and more.
Many of these stories had main characters that were children. That was a whole new level of creepiness. The fact they had to fight their own fears by themselves, to me that is entirely frightening. A few of these ended with a big surprise and my jaw dropped in shock. Mission accomplished.
With all the themes there are surely many spine tinglers. Producing those heebie jeebies, checking around corners for shadows, and listening for strange noises.
A very diverse, entertaining and quite enjoyable fright filled book of tales that felt like entering into a nightmare induced creep show.
