Double Barrel Horror: Highway Hunger / Motel Madness by Calvin Demmer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
**4.5-stars rounded up**
Double Barrel Horror: Highway Hunger / Motel Madness is a pairing of two short-stories penned by the enormously talented, Calvin Demmer.
Earlier this year, these two stories were included in a Horror Anthology, but have since been released on their own for your Spooky Season pleasure!
As you are soaking up all things Halloween, why not grab a super-short, super-intense, super-creepy, short-read.
Perfect for all those readathons y’all know you’re taking part in this month.
Demmer has an uncanny ability to illicit true dread within an extraordinarily short number of pages. I have never seen anyone do it better.
The first story has a modern Lovecraftian vibe, while the second made me desperately want to rewatch Beetlejuice.
Take from that what you will. With all this being said, not only do I recommend this double dose of horror, I also highly recommend you check out his other works.
I absolutely loved both The Sea Was a Fair Master and Dark Celebrations and I think you will too!!!
