Mr. Hilliard's writing came highly recommended from a friend and I decided to give his new collection of short stories, "Ghosts, Monsters and Madmen" a read and I am so glad that I did. This collection of thirteen short stories runs the gamut from classic horror that will make your skin crawl ("Closing Time") to unusual, such as a cat narrating a story ("Dog Matters"). My personal favorite was "Closing Time" because I personally enjoy creepy-return-from-the-dead stories. "The World in Strips" completely unnerved me. Larger-than-life spider-like creatures and lurking in muddy water? Yikes!Short stories are difficult to write for many authors, however Mr. Hilliard did an excellent job with his short stories. There were just enough details to immerse you in the story and enjoy it, but not so many that the plot of the story was lost.If you enjoy horror, particularly short horror stories, then definitely check out "Ghosts, Monsters and Madmen"!
