This novella
consisted of two different dark and twisty tales. I found them very Tales from
the Cryptish. There is evil, but there is always something more evil. I can do
devious, but there is one out there more devious. The thought of trying to hide
something that you did that you know was wrong, but what if I’m never caught. I
love the spooky and far-fetched abnormal. That is exactly what these two novelettes
are.
Intoxication involves
very untypical workplace drama. Leslie’s boyfriend gets violently ill after he
drank her cup of coffee, thus someone must be trying to poison her. Leslie has
a very active imagination, maybe. Who would want to poison her? Are they trying
to kill her or incapacitate her? Does the person trying to poison her have an
accomplice? At this point Leslie is appearing a bit paranoid. She goes to her
boss, has some video cameras installed on her condo, and then appears outrageously
paranoid. Perhaps her coffee was never really poisoned at all. Maybe she was
sipping on the crazy sauce? I loved the twists and turns here. I never saw the
ending happening the way it did.
Hitchhiker shows
how one evil can easily be out done by a greater evil. David a serial killer
driving along in the stolen car of his most recent victim decides to pick up a
hitchhiker. Ron is hitchhiking along looking for his next victim. After
spending some time together they start to notice that all is not as it seems.
Survival instincts start to kick in and soon they’re trying to outsmart the other
one just to live an evil life one more day.
Excellent review!
