Red Lagoe

Red Lagoe, author of Lucid Screams, brings us her follow up collection of horror shorts, Dismal Dreams, with a foreward by Bram Stoker Award-winning author, Sara Tantlinger. Every day is steeped in horror. A supernatural force deep in the forest. A serpent lurking in the shadows. Or thoughts within the deepest abyss of a tortured mind.A gamut of horrific experiences are artfully woven into thirteen stories. Explore the darkness within a selfish heart, face death among ghosts, roar into the face of the beasts, and maybe we can find empowerment if we survive our most dismal dreams.

Dismal Dreams

Dave | Storyphoria

Red Lagoe has accomplished a rare feat with Dismal Dreams. We get a book full of thirteen wonderfully nightmarish stories that span a terrific variety of horror styles. We’re left feeling at once battered and bruised from the power of the horror within these stories, while also springing to our feet eager for more. And, at least for me, it left me not only super satisfied as a reader, but super inspired to write, create, and explore more of the dark corners of stories that reside in my own head as well.

If you enjoy horror and enjoy the short story collection format, I highly recommend you check this one out. While there were a few stories I didn’t love AS much because that type of horror just isn’t my favorite thing, it’s a super solid collection of powerful and visceral horror stories.
