howlinglibraries 's review for:
The Town That Feared Dusk
by Calvin Demmer
Deep down she knew what she had seen was real, but the tale was taking an even stranger turn than what she'd expected. How far could the known reality stretch before the fabric tore and someone was flung out into space, or madness?
The Town That Feared Dusk is one of those short stories that manages to pack such a punch in so few pages, I was beyond impressed by its impact. Calvin Demmer is a pro at flash fiction, and I've loved everything I've read by him so far, so I knew Dusk would be good, but I didn't know it would tell such a complex story so effortlessly.
When Sylvia's colleague takes his own life in the middle of researching a place called the Suicide Bridge, she's convinced that something odd is going on and decides it's a scoop she can't miss out on. Once she arrives, she finds that things are not at all what they seem. With this being such a short story, I can't say more than that about the plot, but I can tell you that it was a tremendously fun read! Not only does it build up a fantastic backstory and setting, but the events are so suspenseful and intriguing. It's no surprise that Calvin Demmer has earned yet another five-star rating from me.
Thank you so much to the author for providing me with this review copy in exchange for an honest review!
