Book Review #1 - In Darkness of the Mountain's Night - A Hunter's Tale

In my science fiction blog, I am going to do a lot of book reviews.  So with this being October, I thought I would start out by reading some horror stories.  I ran across a collection of horror stories on Amazon and am very happy that I did.  The first short story that I read from the collection had me turning each page in anticipation.  I dove into each page like a hungry werewolf plunging its fangs into a new victim.

Having said that, the name of the short story was aptly titled, "In Darkness of the Mountain's Night - A Hunter's Tale."  by author Eddie Patin.  It is in his Collection of Horror Grimdark Sci-fi Short Stories.

I can't tell you how long it took me to read this short story as I was enthralled and immersed into it from page one.  I did not even set it down until I read the whole thing.  Maybe it took me a half hour to read, maybe an hour.  I don't know.  But I do know that I loved it.

Patin definitely knows how to use words to express visions and after reading this one I seriously didn't want to go to bed for a while.  Haunting visions of werewolves filled my head like Christmas presents fill a child's the night before Christmas.

I used to be an actual elk hunter too.  And, this short story is basically about hunters and werewolves. If you like hunting stories, you will like this.  And, if you like werewolves, you will like this also.
His story is based in the American state of Colorado.  I hunted the state of Wyoming which is very similar so I could totally relate to the story.

In summary, I will definitely be reading more from author Eddie Patin and can't wait to finish his short story collection.  So give him a chance, he is a very good indie author.
