Wow!First and foremost, I'll add some background to this review. I have read a few stories from Charlie Morgan. Two in particular are damn good, and they are 'Birthday Wish' (a short story published in the anthology 'Soul Survivors Volume 1') and 'Carcass', which remains as the most frightening short story I've ever read, and I'm not just saying that, Carcass is eerie and taunts with your nerves.Sticks and stones delivers a story jam-packed with action, filled with terrifying plot-twists and gore, oh, don't get me started on the gore. Morgan's writing style is crisp and fluid. As a fellow aspiring novelist, I admire Morgan's prose. Morgan has a way of drawing a surreal environment without the need of paragraph upon paragraph of detail; he gives the reader brief descriptions, but these descriptions are effective, well-written and are brimming with potent imagery.The gore scenes will make you cringe...that's really all I have to say about that, they are quite brutal.This is a great horror story with a lot of great elements to it. I was hard pressed to find any flaws in the overall story and I highly recommend it to any other fans of good old school horror.I'm hungry for more of Charlie Morgan's work.
