It started with a bag of decaying teeth. And ended in a cringing nightmare.
The Tooth Collector is a body horror dental nightmare that will leave you cringing through every page.
After losing his wife and left to fend alone for his two boys, Tim grapples with the struggles of single fatherhood. And when his last born loses his first tooth, he is over the moon. Tim doesn’t think twice before exchanging it for a dollar underneath the little boy’s pillow.
BuAt something sinister watches from the dark corners of the room, waiting to collect its due.
And when his boy starts losing more teeth than he should, Tim is thrown into a frenzy. He doesn’t believe in the unseen… until he sees its grotesqueness face to face. More teeth go missing by the day, and Tim must protect his family.
But how do you protect your family against pure evil?
This is a thrilling read.
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believable.
Great suspense and found myself second guessing every thought I had continuously.
Can’t wait to read what the author brings out next.
Recommend reading.
Fun, fast, spooky. I only wish it was longer. I have to wonder is this based off of a myth? Mr. Black kept me in my toes that is for sure. I’m excited to read more of his work.
As some other people have noted in their review, this is a little hard to follow. It was kind of scary, but I wish I could have known what was real and what was a dream.
The damn tooth fairy done changed. Forget about the tooth under the pillow, sleep with one eye open. If you’re not into heebees, don’t stick around for the jeebees.
This was my first Hash Black work and I enjoyed it, finding the overall writing very good. The story was moderately creepy (I do love creepy), with mild body horror. As others have mentioned, there were some parts of the story that I found a little confusing, or the scene descriptions not quite detailed enough for me to adequately picture what was happening. This sort of thing takes me out of the story as I’m reading, and if there were fewer of those scenes then I’d likely have given this story 4.5 or 5 stars. If I were editing this piece, that’s where I’d spend my time fine tuning. Still, Hash Black is a good writer and this story’s concept is creepy enough that I’ll definitely give his other stories a try!
