Once in a while a horror writer comes around who makes you sigh a deep breath of fresh air at his or her witty charm and original ideas, and Thom Carnell is one of them.
In this collection of short stories of the otherworldly, we get seventeen supernatural tales designed to chill and entertain. From returning heroes (three stories feature Cleese, the iconic hero of No Flesh Shall Be Spared), mountain ghosts, zombies, and vampires on the hunt to a world where social stature is determined by what kind of clown you are, there’s a little bit of everything here.
Moonlight Serenades is such a beautiful and well written book of short stories, some of them poetic as Edgar Allan Poe or even Walt Whitman.
From the first story, “Wedding Day,” I was ultimately enthralled and looked forward to the next one as I moved on. I enjoyed every story as much as the first and especially loved how Thom gave a bit of insight into the reasons why he wrote each one and even what influenced him to write it.
Thom makes you actually feel what he must have been feeling while writing these stories. The amount of pain or happiness that he puts in to every word, or whatever the emotion, isn’t spared at all. You can actually imagine in your own mind the beauty of each of these stories in depth to your soul. Each story takes you to a different place for an entertaining and wild ride for your imagination to indulge.
This book is a must-have, and not just to read once, but to read over and over again. I highly recommend it to everyone, and not just to the horror community. It’s perfect for anyone looking for something different that will take you places in your mind you’ve never been before.
