Cook's "Devil Inside" is a brutal short that begins with a young boy screaming, waking his drunken father up during the night. Jacob sees a dark silhouette under his bed with smoldering red eyes and even has a name for it--The Night Beast. It has the head shape of a wolf. Jacob's father, Tim, is a strict disciplinarian who believes that physical violence is the best way to get Jacob to behave during the night and at school.The situation worsens, and Jacob starts seeing the beast during daylight, behind his teacher in the classroom. After this, the corpses begin appearing, and Jacob suspects the dark shadow with the red eyes may have something to do with it.A wild ride not to be missed, Cook's story takes a deep look inside a young boy and the demons he must face. In addition to the short story, a collection of poems and a sample of Cook's excellent novel "Blood Related" is included in the e-book.A great tale at a great price. Chiller fans should jump on this one.
