My Review

Gratifyingly gory, Witching Hour Theatre delivers on all levels of the scare scale. 

Come for the horror, stay for the story; this novella isn't just about blood spatter and deftly timed scare tactics.  The protagonist, horror film buff Larry Wilson, reads 'real' and has a surprising amount of depth crammed into him considering the page count. 

The supporting cast is fleshed out just enough to make you care about them, I felt for the cop and his wife when their respective heads were found minus bodies in theatre no.1 following a brutally messy killing spree by a couple of heinously horrifying murderers who resemble popular horror guises and I know Nicole from the candy store will stick in my memory for a time to come.

All round, Witching Hour Theatre is pure unadulterated fun; a quick fix for the horror junkie. I loved it.

My rating: 5/5 stars. Perfect for a one sitting read which will have you thinking twice about catching that late night movie.
