Disclaimer: I am one of the writers of Shallow Creek so won't talk about my own story, but as a reader I want to talk about the book in general and some of the eerie and spooky stories that stood out for me.
One character, one location, one item, and one creepy town. That was the brief from Storgy.com and all the chosen writers produced stories of great mood, pathos, and chills. The opening story, DAVE DANVERS’ LAST FORAY INTO ALL THINGS WOO WOO
by J. Stuart Croskell, is one of my favourites, setting the scene perfectly. PENTAMETER
by David Hartley is ambitious and could've gone wrong yet David nails the intertwining iambic pentameter form and story. ARROWHEAD by Daniel Carpenter was another highlight making me not want to go near breakfast cereal toys.
Overall, the range of styles and the way the writers have captured the strange goings on of Shallow Creek is a delight and I am proud to be part of this creepy tome.
