This was an excellent read enjoying each story on the merits. Especially liked the first chapter of The Devil Stood Up as it made my skin crawl.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked on Christine! August 26, 2011
By C. Ott
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a total groupie! I love Christine Dougherty's books! Even though this is a collection of short stories, I couldn't (and didn't!) stop reading until I finished the whole book. I love an author who can create completely believable characters and scenarios in the realm of horror or sci-fi, and Dougherty nails it. Her empathy and ability to immediately get at the heart of the matter make her one hell of a storyteller. More, please!

5.0 out of 5 stars "King's Mountain" - Perfect Voice
The whole collection is very good, but "King's Mountain" is above the rest if for no other reason than its told in perfectly rendered voice of the character in the story. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Some what gruesome
If you like horror... Then this is the book for you. I found this book a little too gruesome. That said... It was a decent Halloween read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Where was the horror?
Sorry but I didn't find anything horrific or chilling about these tales. Maybe I'm used to reading real horror. Some were very strange and hard to get in to. Read more

Christine Dougherty
Hello. My name is Christine Dougherty and I write horror.

I started writing short stories and had some of them published in The Absent Willow Review, Necrotic Tissue, Fiction at Work, Niteblade, and others. The short stories were a lot of fun and people seemed to like them, so I decided to start writing novels. Since then, I've written ten with more in the works. Some of the best ideas--like the Sinker zombies in The Boat--came from my husband, Steve. Everything I write is dedicated to him.

My literary heroes are varied and among them are Stephen King, Margaret Atwood, Anne Tyler, Wally Lamb, John Irving, Preston and Child, Peter Straub--the list could go on and on. My reading tastes are as eclectic as my writing.

Visit me at www.christinedoughertybooks.com and drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you.

Best Regards,
Christine
