Hall of Twelve by Rebecca Besser is a well constructed tale of horror. We are introduced to our protagonist, Jack, as he enters his home to find it has been broken into, his wife missing and his daughter....well, I have to believe that she's in a better place if this world that Ms. Besser has created is what the new world will be like.  Admittedly, other than feeling bad  for the poor man as he searches for his family in his home I had a bit of a hard time really caring for him. It wasn't that he was a poorly written character, more so it is that short stories can be very difficult to bring the reader to have strong feelings  without being overly wordy.Jack finally leaves his home and joins up with a small group who give more details as to what has happened. A science experiment gone wrong has released alternate dimensional beings into their world and while some of the humans are used as food for these beings pet's the rest are used to play a sick game of chance in what is referred to as the Hall of Twelve.Very descriptive and a wonderfully unique tale. Hall of Twelve is a story I could see telling in a small group while sitting in the dark either around a campfire or even just around the house with the lights turned off.
