The beginning of an ongoing series of short and unsettling stories aimed at taking you, the reader, out of your comfort zone and quite possibly tampering with your quality of sleep. There are currently four entries in the ULT lineup with promise (or is it a threat) of more on the way."Radio Free Nowhere", a siren's song broadcasting though the mountains of West Virginia beckoning to passers through. This quick tale is a primer, getting you, the reader, acclimated for the darkness that you are about to get yourself into.I haven't yet read either of Mr. Keisling's Monochrome books (strong emphasis on yet), so I can't say if the "Ugly Little Things" tales are out of character for him or not. What I can say is that these four tales prove that he is perfectly capable of bringing the tension, pulling on your heartstrings and splattering the gore. Whatever is next for Mr. Keisling's "Ugly Little Things", I am fully invested and I will gladly pay with my sleep. For what better way is there to spend a few hours in the dark, more than likely with all four appendages tucked safely under a tight blanket (and possibly a night light), than with some truly enjoyable tales that are assured to linger in your skull, stain your psyche.Dark, dirty, captivating and nasty, I had a great time playing with this ugly little thing
