Orchid: Tales of the Black Sabbath starts with a mood that's dark and gets darker. What's not to like about this horror short? It is a great cross-section of O'Neill's crisp writing found in his vampire-led The Dracula Chronicles series. Right from chapter one it reminded me a bit of the suspense and ominous moodiness of Stephen King's Bachman works. When the creepy stranger appears graveside at the end of the first chapter appealing to the fresh widower, "Just don't let them bury her," you know full well he'll take the bait and you're not putting this down until you finish.
