I always jump at the chance to read books by Chris Copper, and this collection of short stories is another winner!
Prepare to be kept guessing by "Last Light", a collection of nine short horror stories by Chris Coppel. Mystery permeates the stories and the descriptive writing draws you in. Certain narratives are one-of-a-kind and full of surprises, and even those you can anticipate are still enjoyable. The pacing, reveals, and character development are all on point, creating a strong connection to the characters. It's a highly enjoyable and captivating read that I really enjoyed. If you're a fan of horror anthologies, I suggest giving this one a read!
Chris never disappoints.
Many thanks to @ChrisCoppel and @HenryRoiPR for a spot on the tour.
About the Author
I was raised the son of a writer. My father wrote plays, films and novels. He was successful and suffered constant wanderlust. I was born in America when he was there writing Vertigo for Alfred Hitchcock.
I give that familial insight so that you can understand that I had the genes, I just needed to find my footing and get up the nerve to put pen to paper (or to be more accurate...open my laptop). Many would say that having a successful parent should make it easier to follow their path under the protective shadow of their parent’s success. Not so!
Writing is difficult. Writing in the hopes that you will be read and your works appreciated is terrifying. In my case, the fear of failure kept my ideas and stories buried in a back closet within my brain.
It is only now as I enter the latter part of my existence that I have been able to calm the fear and share my stories with those who may wish to read them.
I would like to think that it was my choice to write about things that go bump in the night, but it wasn’t. I had no idea that I would one day write tales of horror, but that is now what I do. With each new book, I feel drawn further into the dark void that we feel but rarely see.
I hope you will join me.
