Sleeping in the Fire by John Durgin






A fabulous collection of nine stories with a lot of variety.

All nine are unique while giving a good dose of scary. Some are more along the lines of thriller and some are horror. There are creatures, bugs that feed on people, a serial killer, and a deep dark body of water. Just to name a few...

Durgin has a subtle and brazen style in his writing. Imagine being told a story that slowly builds up to a finale that not only satisfies you but also has you walking away feeling a bit spooked and disturbed. The way Durgin can walk you through the words of his stories with simplicity, but can still satisfy the horror craving you have, is a strong talent.
