A review by verkisto
At the Cemetery Gates: Year One by John Brhel, Joseph Sullivan
I read the first three stories in this collection, and I'm done. They're terrible. There's too much telling and not enough showing, and the stories -- for all that they're supposed to be horror -- are emotionless. Instead of telling us what's happening to the characters as if we're observers, the authors should pay attention to what they're feeling. Don't tell us they're scared; show us through the way they feel their pulse in their head, or see their eyes widen or their hands shake, or hear their ragged breath.
I wish I could remember how I came to pick up this collection. I owe someone a noogie.
