Little Black Crimes is a dark and vicious collection of gut-wrenching short-story-styled tales of hardships and violence that exude an ethereal quality rooted in reality as well possessing an illusion of a world running parallel to ours, lurking in the shadows.
Nathaniel Blackhelm zaps readers with shock and awe as he tackles disturbing but very real topics that speak to the evil nature of mankind. I was stunned at times as Blackhelm presented the banal nature of crime with a surprising twist and a poetic sense of ironic justice and horror that will haunt readers for days if not weeks after finishing the book. Each story is presented in a unique style as if born from a distinct mind, speaking to Blackhelm’s seemingly endless pit of creative ideas to take inspiration from. The crux of the stories however stays centered on how the scariest and darkest monsters are those within us.
If you’re looking for a blend of noir, horror, and suspenseful stories, Little Black Crimes is the perfect package for you. There is plenty in it to keep you engrossed and you’ll find it intimidating to read just one story a day when the absorbing nature of the narratives yank you further and further for more and more of the grim and dark stories.
