Holy Moses! What a debut.
Scott's literary prose and his focus on creating spirited characters were the highlights of this horror collection. These stories will bite your leg and not let go. You'll care for the characters as they are not mere cardboard cutouts but fully fleshed individuals with lively personalities, voices, wants, and needs. He ends on such a high note with the titular story involving an exceptional vampire.
As with every collection or anthology, particular stories stand out more than others based on taste, experience, interest, etc. Here are mine:
Nowhere, Louisiana
Hunger Pangs
Adelaide
Blues Exorcist
I look forward to more from Scott J. Moses. He's a name to put on your dark fiction watch list. And I'm humbled to share the same month as him for a debut book (October 2020).
P.S. I switched between the audiobook and the Kindle edition. Moses commissioned a fantastic female narrator. Loved it.
