D.R. Gordon’s “From Darkness” is a showcase of talent that runs the gambit of settings – from Victorian England to a modern day nightclub, from a frantic painter to a duo of unfortunate hunters; it slips in and out of their stories with ease – the only common ground being the goose-bump inspiring horror of the underlying theme.  This isn't the new horror of screen and screams, where more blood hits the ground than tears.  No, this is classic, keep you up at night to check your closet and under the bed horror.  Humans have always feared the night, the unlit places in life.  Gordon embraces that fear, somehow creating a collection that will keep you turning the page even as you discover your own monsters and terrors.Chilling and captivating, “From Darkness” is a well written compilation that falls from story to story. Varying in both variety and length some tales are shorter, like ‘Club Diablo’ while others , such as ‘The Tail’ are longer endeavors.While incredibly entertaining, I almost hesitate to label this anthology as such, because no matter how truly entertaining each glimpse offered into this author’s incredible mind may be…. Each glimpse also left me a touch haunted.  Entertaining, yes, but also addictive and compulsive, you really can’t put it down.  Fans of horror, psychological or thrilling should pick up this title quickly – D.R. Gordon is an author to follow.
