MY REVIEW

These might be small bites of horror but the title says it all….EVIL in all caps. And the synopsis was such a tease. I had no choice but to taste these snacks.

There’s no wasted words or fleshed out character development. Kevin is a master of writing genuine characters in short order and he also plunges you right into the darkness. I find that short stories show the author’s real talent. So few words and you still feel for those characters and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Kevin’s earned my title of a true storyteller. I’d be hard pressed to choose a favorite. They all stood out in their own dark and creepy way. Scary fun.

 5 STARS

Synopsis

Ten-year-old Cassie is playing in the ball pit at the local rundown fast-food palace when she feels something bite her leg and doesn’t want to let go.

The passengers on a cross-country bus trip make a stop that will change the lives of everyone on it, and reveal that one of the riders is hiding a horrific secret.

The locals in a remote mountain town know about the wind that supposedly can kill people; they avoid it at all costs. But when a young college meteorologist comes to study it, will he heed their warnings?

From the writer who brought you the best-selling short story collections DREAD, CREEP, and CURSED, comes a new set of tales that will force you to lock the doors and turn on the lights. EVIL forces you to confront the most terrifying element in our world – EVIL. In each story, we see how it manifests and then consumes those who dare to think they can battle it. In this book, GOOD doesn’t triumph over EVIL, it runs away and cowers under the bed and hopes and prays it goes away and never comes back. Can you handle something that is filled with pure EVIL?

Kevin Bachar is an EMMY award-winning National Geographic writer/cinematographer/director who’s swum with sharks, climbed the peaks of mountains, and explored the darkest of forests. He’s also a WGA screenwriter whose elevated horror film, THE INHABITANT, was released through LIONSGATE.
