Review: Hell's Five Minute Tales of Horror

Hell's Five Minute Tales of Horror by Hell Richards
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I know I'm rather biased because I'm Chantelle`s mum but the stories in this book are very good,scary,twisted and quite creepy at times.We have been telling her for years that she should get some of her stories published and now with a lot of help from her good friend Dimension Bucket readers can experience for themselves the weird and wonderful and sometimes terrifying world that is our daughter's imagination.

Although they are actually horror stories some could actually be short thrillers or prologues for a serial killer story.They vary in length,the longest one being the last one but they are all twisted,creepy and quite a few leave you wanting more.

Here is a list of the stories and a brief thought from me about each story

ONE SENTENCE HORROR STORY - short but very funny

I AM - Everyone is scared of something

NEVER APART - Would make a thrilling prologue for a crime story

WENDIGO - If you go down to the woods today your in for a big surprise.
