Hash Black | Horror Author

so much, and this book really showcases why it’s so terrifying. Even when the main character, Tim, is with his kids for most of the story, you still feel a deep sense of loneliness. The isolation and hopelessness from being the only adult your children can rely on for answers is terrifying in itself. Hash Black does an amazing job capturing the emotional weight of single parenthood while you’re trying to fight off some horrific, unknown monster.The Tooth Collector itself is grotesque and absolutely stomach churning. Many of its descriptions were so vivid they made me squirm with discomfort and fight back a wave of nausea. I was completely immersed in Tim’s desperation as he tried to protect his family from a monster that he didn’t know how to fight. There are plenty of unanswered questions, but I love horror stories that leave room for my imagination.I recommend this book to those who want a quick horror fix and don’t mind a little body horror that comes with it. This story is fast paced, and since it’s a short story, you can easily read it in one sitting.

to miss a thing. The cliffhangers always get me in the end because I’m deeply invested in the story. What intrigues me the most was the father was dreaming about the Tooth Collector was real. I’m going to do more further investigation by reading it again to better understand what happened. Iler.

ory, we lost sight of some of the initial plot points, i.e. Eve and her pregnancy, which was a gigantic missed opportunity. She was referenced a few times throughout, but the author focused on the onslaught of witches and demons, and the nonstop chaos that befell Billy, our main character. He is just a down on his luck type, with a crummy job, unable to keep a house over his head. So he decides to attend an outing with some of her friends, and they start playing around with black magic. I mean, haven’t we all had a few drinks, taking an ancient object, and started chanting magic spells at it to see what happens? So, needless to say, all hell breaks loose, people are killed, terrible things happen, lots of action and violence, even some funny moments, and the story just gets wild. But, as I stated earlier, the author jumped through the introduction of Billy and Eve, and that should have been a huge part of the story. And that took away from the eventual impact of everything that would happen, as we didn’t get to know anyone all that well. I personally hated Kevin and his incessant use of the n-word throughout. His character must have said it a hundred times, and it was really annoying and unnecessary. I understand that he was being written a certain way and was supposed to obnoxious, but I would have preferred this aspect to be really tapered down. So anything bad that happened to him didn’t bother me in the least, for that sole reason. Overall, it was pretty good and had an equal amount of things that I disliked versus what worked for me. I would recommend new readers try out The Mirror before this, to get a better idea of this author’s style.
