Listen: A Disturb Ink Books Anthology (Sinister Century Book 2) Reviews
-
Sinister Century book 2 is themed around 1940s radio, and includes 5 solid supernatural stories. Full disclosure - I wrote the story that kicks off the collection. I'm really proud of how this one turned out, and thrilled to be a part of this series of excellent stories written by such talented authors.
I'll Not Forget You, Sweetheart by Rachel M Shannon (that's me) - While her husband Joe is fighting in the Pacific, Marjorie Morris staves off loneliness in her too-quiet farmhouse by listening to the radio. When Joe returns unexpectedly just before the arrival of their firstborn, the radio whispers that what came home to her may not be the man she loves.
Can You Survive the Night in a Haunted Tube Station? by Mason Hawthorne - A man with the alias Blue enters a radio-sponsored contest to spend a night in an abandoned tube station, reportedly the site of a tragedy during the Blitz. The night will reveal whether the haunting is a hoax, or a horror. A nice, spooky slow burn.
Artie, Can You Hear Me? by Samantha Arthurs - Young Artie returns after fighting in Europe injured, shell-shocked, and in need of escape from the loud chaos of the city. He finds the quiet of his aunt's lake house the balm that he needs, but then the voices from the radio begin addressing him. A poignant and sad ghost story of survivor's guilt.
Our Splendid Loves by RC Capasso - newlywed Ginny likes to listen to her favorite radio program as she goes about her household chores. She becomes disturbed, however, when the soapy romance starts to take darker turns.
Red Rover, Red Rover by Trevor James Zaple - Jimmy Kowalski's Marine unit is standing by on Echo Island, within visual distance of the fighting on nearby Guadalcanal. A mysterious voice on the radio starts calling the men, one by one, to come into the jungle. Super creepy, with a great ending.
