| "Forever" by J. L. Foster |
| Rating: 5 Swords Forever J. L. Foster Amira Press October 5, 2007 31 pp. 5 Swords! www.amirapress.com If you’re looking for Halloween horror, look no further. If you’re looking for a tale that will scare you out of your socks, spiral your hair, curl your toes, and put a permanent crick in your spine from constantly peering fearfully over your shoulder, look nowhere else. On the other hand, if you want to maintain a peaceful, quiet life where you can actually sleep at night, skip Forever. Readers, beware: Read this one in daylight or you’ll regret it! Or read it to your love partners on Halloween night [grim chuckle]. I reviewed it in sunny daylight and I still recall the cold chills like skittery spider legs up and down my spine! Author J. L. Foster has gone beyond even his achievement in Nothing: A Tale of Terror to send readers into paroxysms of horror. The character evolution, the plotting, the backdrop with the secondary characters; the vivid settings, the detail; the horror! What more could any reader ask? I’ve been reading and watching horror for way too many decades not to be jaded, but honey chile, Forever made me sit up and take notice. And that’s why I sleep every night sitting up with the lights on… If you would like to be Reviewed by Frost, send an email to frost@jlfoster.biz or reviewed_by_frost@jlfoster.biz with the subject line "Submission."
