Book Review: The Dead Girls Club by Damien Angelica Walters

There are a few things I absolutely adore when I’m reading horror, or thrillers: female central characters, some sort of coming-of-age or teenage tragedy aspect, and a chapter-to-chapter time jump. I got all three of these with Jeremy Hepler’s CRICKET HUNTERS, and I didn’t expect I’d be so lucky as to find another so soon.

Campbell is an author still relatively new to me, if you can believe it. In fact, The Wise Friend from this year was my first time reading him (though I had heard his name before). That makes The Influence my second experience with his writing, and another good one.

Amateur Dramatics: a Short Story

He groaned, gritting his teeth and trying to cover his ears, to block out the chittering, chattering sound above him. The high trills and tap-tap-tap on the floor. Open auditions. Hehated open auditions. They drew out the worst of the worst, and subjected him to days of listening to untalented hacks try and prove they could sing and could dance and could act. Most of them couldn’t. And sometimes, those that couldn’t cried and wailed as they were ushered out of the building. Open auditions meant he had no rest whatsoever.
