Slice of Paradise

Product Information

Another arrogant bastard gets what's coming to him in "Beach Snakes" by Aiden Merchant. Some island resorts have unusual wild life. 3.5 Stars. What I didn’t like: Even though this one was a stronger one, story-wise, there were still a few that missed for me, as in most anthologies. Once again, reader mileage will vary. Night Dive by Drew Starling: This story has a slower build, which only increases the sense of dread and allows some time to worry about the characters. This was genuinely scary. 4 stars.

There’s two main things that ties each of these stories together… the beach and terror.I loved that many of these tales had an ambiguous ending, while others have some seriously non-happy endings. This story is brutal! The description of what caused the screaming made my stomach flip. And it only got worse from there! I don’t know how much time had passed when the screaming started from the beach; I was totally absorbed in my dictation. The screaming was a terrible cacophony of noise, a chorus of terror and agony. I imagine Hell would be filled with that ghastly sound. I leapt off the bed and ran to the door, praying Eric and Cathy were all right.One thing I love about short story anthologies is that while every story isn't for you, you can usually find several that pique your interest and a couple that hit absolute homeruns. You're exposed to different writing styles. You meet different authors-- some of whom you fall in love with! And you get worlds and worlds of stories all in the palm of your hands.

Slice Paradise by S Hukr - AbeBooks

So how does it read? Very strong. I’ll say that from the outset. Both Mark Towse (Nana) and Drew Starling (The Sentinel) deliver widely different approaches to the theme from the get-go, with their pieces " Secret beach" and " Night dive" respectively. Towse providing dream-like supernatural horror, Sterling a horror legend made flesh, in one the MC’s triumph, in the other it all goes south. That rhythm remains for the rest of the book, and I have to say it’s impressive – I never felt that themes or stories were similar – each Author brought their own style and voice to the table. A real mix-up of stories. PHOSPHORESCENCE (Denver Grenell) --> In New Zealand, on Pohara Beach we find Yasmine and Carlos who are high on shrooms. Carlos tells Yasmine of the phosphorescence waters and invites her for a late night dip... A bit of a slow burner but an enjoyable story! I like the nature of this one and how things gradually evolve and turn nasty. Another well done tale. 4.5/5 My goodness the sense of dread with this one is intense! My heart broke for these two women at the end. When a trip to the beach for this father/daughter duo turns dark, the father doesn’t give up, determined to save his daughter.Slice of Paradise is a collection of seventeen bite-sized tales themed around the beach. This is a perfect holiday read, as you can go through a couple of these by the shore (you probably won't want to go swimming afterwards). The Fons Juventutis (Kay Hanifen) --> Dayana Rolles is a maid at the prestigious hotel, the "The Fons Juventutis" where the rich and powerful gather and run riot. But when a dead body is found in one of the rooms, and Dayana's coworker goes missing a curious tale unfolds... A good tale and I like the element of this being a hot spot for the rich and powerful go to play works. I like the idea of the VIP Cove too. Works well. A lot of twists and turns to this one but I enjoyed it greatly! A nice explanation and a self contained story. 4.5/5 Even before starting this one, I was nervous. I mean, with a title like “Beach Snakes,” I’m gonna be nervous! This one ruled!

This collection tells some gruesome , intense, and gripping tales that will make you dread booking your summer getaway next year 😅 genuinley, all these stories are themed around beaches, holiday resorts , honeymoons , vacations and everything in between. There's murderous travellers and travel guides alike , there's world ending disasters, people questioning their own sanity in their desperate attempts to survive , and even, leeches coming out of someone's ass , yes , you read that correctly , it was bleak to say the least . Secret Beach by Mark Towse – anxiety filled opener. Really enjoyed the sinister undertones throughout it and the father-daughter aspect. I found that more of the stories had my interest, even from the get-go and more of the stories featured unique takes on what happens once these characters were there. On a trip that will decide if their marriage will last or not, the husband complains of horrible stomach pain. When the wife learns what is causing the pain, many things fall into place for her.This one was so intense! The anxiety I felt was pretty immediate. This is one of those tales that is absolutely perfect as a short story, but one that I would love to get a longer story from! I really enjoyed these stories , the narration is fantastic and although the setting and themes are similar throughout no two stories felt the same. Awards: Now, normally what I do here is summarize what I read. That's pretty self-evident in a themed horror anthology. So, I'm going to do something a little different. For this review, just for the fun of it, I'm giving Short Story Awards. And without further ado... The awards: The Guardian" by Phillip Fracassi doles out the dread in small doses until the mid-point when all hell breaks loose. Some island vacationers pay a local to boat them to a private beach, never realizing why such a lovely bit of sand is deserted. 4 Stars.
