Welcome to My Monday Minis.
This is where I review very short stories and flash fiction.
For today I’ll be telling you about Hell’s Bells
by Vincent Bivona and Trevor Firetog
~~~~~
ebook, 46 pages
Andrew and James are looking forward to meeting their favorite author, but when a homeless woman, who claims to be the author’s “biggest fan,” begins to stalk the two friends, they have to wonder if this creepy old woman is who she appears to be, and why the sound of bells follows her wherever she goes.
My Review
This was a ghoulishly fun story.
Best friends Andrew and James take the subway to the dark side of town. Their favorite author is having a book signing and they have to be there.
While on the train, a hideous homeless woman befriends them.
Once they finally reach the book signing, they bump into her again and can’t get away from her. When she does something unspeakable, they do something unforgivable, and now they are racing for their very lives.
Sure, the premise might be kind of predictable, but the authors scare ya good while telling it. I could smell the old lady, see her tattered face and hear those bells. Oh yea, the bells are ringing.
Excellent writing, vivid descriptions, and putting you there are what these authors do.
I don’t think I’ll be taking the subway any time soon!

Hell’s Bells was co -authored.
Both authors, Vincent Bivona and Trevor Firetog have written many dark fantasy and horror stories on their own and joined up to bring us Hell’s Bells.

Love the title. lol
It was a scary good time! The title is what first caught my attention, then the cover. It’s almost like a brown paper bag – ‘the unknown book cover’! LOL
