My Review

When Iverson’s girlfriend, Sissy, ends up dead in a jail cell, things don’t bode well for the sheriff and his cronies.

Ivy and his two younger brothers, along with some buddies are going to mete out their own brand of small town, vigilante justice.

Evans claims stories of the “weird tales’ variety are his favorite to write and he just proved it again. I can’t begin to imagine this happening in real life. Maybe it has, but it would’ve been hard to miss the headlines.

You don’t get to know Sissy. She’s already dead when the story starts. What you do get is the raging inferno that is Ivy’s hatred and need to maim.

Bakersville reminds me of towns I passed on road trips. They looked almost abandoned and I barely gave them a glance. Evans sets the mood with “a starless night, still and waiting.”  The town won’t be recognizable after these boys get done.

One thing you’ll learn after reading more of this authors stories is not to think you know what’s happening. You’ll be wrong. Everything I thought I knew about Ivy was thrown out the window quickly. My biggest shock wasn’t what was happening to the town. It was about what happened the first time Ivy met Sissy. You’ll see what I mean.

Evans usually adds a little levity to his horror and suspense. At first I thought Milwaukee’s Beast was a typo. Then I remembered how he writes and knew it was on purpose.

Some good descriptions of Ivy:

“A fistful of vengeance and a truckload of hell fire!”

“I’m an ‘eye for an eye’ kind of guy.”

While I often wish Evans would write an epic full length novel, I don’t think my poor heart could take it. I should have known he wouldn’t take me where I originally thought he would. His stories never go in a straight line.

Once again, the author sucked me into the darkness, finally letting me crawl back into the light, with some of that darkness following me like an ecto-plasmic tag along.

This story will linger with me for a long time.

If you’re a fan of horror, if you like it raw and wriggling, treat yourself to Don’t Need No Water. It’s a killer read.

Evans Light

Evans Light

Evans Light is a writer of horror and suspense who suffers from frequent bouts of delusional grandeur interspersed with moments of soul-crushing suspicions of personal inadequacy.

He has a collection of short stories and novellas, SCREAMSCAPES, in the bag and now available from fine retailers everywhere, and a first novel well underway.

Evans works closely with his brother and frequent collaborater Adam Light, who is a stellar horror writer in his own right. Intense sibling rivalry and incessant one-upsmanship will ensure that nothing but horror of the highest caliber will be produced by The Light Brothers for years to come.
