Best Thriller Horror Story
The night was dark and stormy as Sarah walked home from her late shift at the diner. She had always been afraid of the dark and tonight was no exception. The wind was howling and the rain was coming down in sheets, making it hard to see the path in front of her.

The boy was already dead
The boy was already dead. The boy was already dead. It was a fact that no one could deny, but for some reason, his body still walked among the living. His parents had buried him six months ago, in the cold, hard ground of the local cemetery. They had grieved and moved on, or so they thought. But the boy had not moved on. He had stayed, lingering in the shadows of their minds, a constant reminder of their loss.

Let's Get Shopping
To be honest, I am still processing this novel. This was, without a doubt, unlike anything that I have ever read before. When I saw this laying on the counter of the kitchenette at work, I thought that it was some sort of catalog for furniture, but it turned out to be a novel so unique that I couldn’t put it down. The layout, the images, and the overall flow of this novel make the reading experience something quirky and different compared to the countless other novels on the market.
