Every month an exciting new publishing house named DarkFuse releases new novellas that in the short span of six months I've become a huge fan of reading. These novellas can be read in around an hour, give or take, and I look forward to them much the way I would watching a new episode of X-Files or Masters of Horror. There's a quality and consistency to them (not every one is good, but neither is every episode of your favorite TV show). Many of them have a very Twilight Zone feel to them, like the ghost of Rod Serling inspired the minds of the authors. Being a mega huge fan of Serling, I'm so, so, so there!With Nightsiders, this tale is all TZ in nature. It begins with a rather twisted scene involving a small animal and morphs into a tale about a London man and his family displaced by another family. Another family is living in the Mitchell family's house and it's not the Brady Bunch. One scene in this story that I won't spoil really blew me away. I shuddered after reading that part. Solid horror!The ending got a bit too crazy and outpaced the rest of the story, leaving me feeling like more subtlety would have worked better for me. All in all, I liked and recommend this creepy yarn. 3.75 stars. 1,603 Kindle locations.
