Night Monsters: Four Stories to Read with the Lights On Kindle Edition

If you love things that go bump in the night, Night Monsters presents four stories to read with the lights on!

Wyatt is looking for a no-strings fling in “Savoir-Faire.” When he meets the beautiful and sexually voracious Natalie, all his fantasies come true… until he discovers that unseen strings are more entangling than he bargained for.

In “The Worst Thing,” Petie’s first sleepover seemed like a good idea in the daylight. But after dark at Nate’s house, he can’t fall asleep. Braving the terrors of the night to make it home, he finds he must face the worst thing that could happen—and sacrifice what he treasures most to save his parents from a horrible fate.

“Keeping Cool”: After a late night at work helping hospitals handle the strange flu sweeping Pittsburgh, Terry finds he’s run out of options to get himself home. Searching for a working phone to call his wife, he encounters a deserted diner—and another way to stem the tide of disease. Chilling!

Justin wants to be cool like Drew, so he tags along to throw corn at cars on Halloween night. When a 1970 GTO Judge stops on the country road and its ghastly occupants pursue them, he wishes he’d gone trick-or-treating instead. Pray that “GTO Judge” passes you by.

A good scary time!
An intriguing quartet of horror short stories featuring four different scary monsters. I likethe compactnes of each story and how they were open ended, leaving the reader to their own imagination. While reading this, I was reminded of sitting around a campfire telling g spooky stories. A thoroughly good time. I'm very interested in reading more from this author. This is the perfect book for the halloween season.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2012

These four tales by Howard remind of me of good old classic horror with an updated sensibility. When I say classic, I don't mean that they are derivative of things I've read before, I mean they have a feel of classic horror, and, this said, I feel will some day enter into the "higher echelon" of what we call classics.

I've read several of Howard's books and stories now, and not once have I been disappointed. Great style, great pacing, the dude knows how to tell a story, and you'll be doing yourself a great favor in picking up any of his work. This is a good one to start with, too, if you have not yet experienced the mind that is Lee Allen Howard.

High recommended.

This review is actually by Ruth Blair..

I've had the pleasure of reading Lee Allen Howard before with  Mama Said . In Night Monsters, Howard is once again an eloquent writer with a real talent at turning everyday scenarios into something gruesome, scary or violent. Though he never gets too graphic to make his stories too horrific, Howard writes with style and grace, allowing his characters to own their most peculiar stories.

I thoroughly enjoyed all four short stories in this collection, and I feel encouraged to try more. I'll be picking up  Severed Relations  next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Creepy collection of short stories...
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2012

This is a short read, around 50+ pages, yet each short story is well developed, well written and has a creepy ending punch. I really enjoyed a few of the stories and was a bit sad when they ended; a risks one takes when you start a known short story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Four Excellent Horror Shorts
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2012
I'd previously read one of this author's books and couldn't wait to dig into this one. I was not disappointed. The four short stories contained in this small collection are excellent, and each one unique in its own right. I won't give spoilers and the book description gives enough clues to let you know whether you'd like it or not. My favorite was Savoir-Faire, the opening story. Even though the plot is hinted at, the author gives enough twists to make it unique. The same can be said for all four stories. I will be reading more of Lee's work in the future!
