John Connolly’s The Furies packs two insanely frightening short stories that are likely to haunt your dreams for many nights. In pure John Connolly fashion, the supernatural elements will surely scare the living daylights out of you.
Both stories maintain a dark and unsettling tone of loss and unspeakable horrors committed by human beings. In both events, Charlie Parker is faced with difficult choices where nothing is what it seems. From evil possession to spirits of dead children, the narrative gets creepier by the page and there’s never a clear indicator of where the stories might lead. The chills you’ll feel while flipping through the pages are more likely from the hair-raising and masterful descriptions of the scares than any external air source.
A word of caution, these eerie tales will stay in the back of your head and mix with your deepest thoughts in the late-night glow of your bedside lamp. If you’re keen to celebrate Halloween this year with guaranteed goosebumps, make sure you’ve got The Furies in hand.
