Where I read and review Dark Fiction, from the classics to the contemporary, while favoring the quietly atmospheric, with side trips into everything from Fantasy and Mystery to the occasional work of non-fiction.
This novella, a sequel to Currency Of Souls, finds Burke at the top of his craft, relating the tale of a man's search for his missing friends in the cursed mining town of Milestone. Burke brings a heartwrenching realism to this dying locale, as the nightmare that dwells within it envelops the reader, revealing dark secrets and darker wonders. This is one road trip you won't soon forget.
