I am an established writer in many genres and I also ghostwrite, write ads, write jingles, do voice overs and write articles, and book reviews. There is nothing like a good story that captures a reader’s interest and imagination. A well written story, whether it is horror, suspense, adventure or drama should contain the elements that honor the genre for which it has been written. A prime example of a book that pays homage to the horror genre is The Dead of winter-The best Chilling Tales by author William P. Robertson.
Author William P. Robertson is no stranger to the literary world as he has written hundreds of short stories, poems, articles and several books. Being no stranger myself to reading this genre I have found myself enamored with this book. The Dead of Winter is an exceedingly well written book that contains a thrilling collection of short stories that both enthrall and entertain. Within its pages this book contains some of the better creative and fear inducing tales that I have read. The detailed stories capture your interest and draw you into the scare imbued world of the story. Reading William P. Robertson brings to mind remembrances of other great horror writers; his writing style is unique yet resonates with the spine tingling details that great seasoned horror writers offer. Creating an environment of fear and frights that assail the reader’s senses these stories do please and are sure to keep you reading with the lights on as your senses are assailed by the realistic and fear inducing scenes in each story.
While all the stories are great, there are several in particular that I found extra enjoyable; they are Estranged, Mary and Emmett, Bad Things Happen to Bad men and The Price of a Pint. I personally look forward to reading more by this author. I highly recommend this book to those with the desire to curl up with a good book, with lots of lights on during the Dead of Winter.
