This review is from: Out There in the Darkness (Paperback)
Ed Gorman once again demonstrates his master story telling. Aaron, Neil, Bob, and Mike are four middle-aged, white-collar men who like to get together for poker, bawdy jokes, and beer. Each takes his turn on the neighborhood Patrol to help combat the increasing crime in the area. These four pals find themselves up against something truly terrifying when their poker night is interrupted by a break-in.
Gorman has a knack for good stories, and he lets Aaron narrate this story with a chilling effect. You'll devour this one quickly to get to the next twist.
This is a short chapbook--about 31 pages. It's a great story, and if you're a Gorman fan, you won't mind spending the money on this. However, it's a bit pricey for one story, so keep that in mind!

Superlative example of Gorman at his best. This story takes twist after twist and surpirising turn after turn. Just when you think everything is resolved, here comes another unexpected surprise. The book kept me reading.
Highly reccomended
