Happy Monday! Today I'm a stop on the TLC blog tour for Brooke Mackenzie's Ghost Games!
Games like Bloody Mary are just urban legends, right?
But what if they're not. What if a certain sequence of floors in an elevator can take you to another dimension? What if all you need to summon a demon is a walk-in closet? What if there's a much darker Telephone Game than the one you remember as a kid?
These and more are the subjects of Brooke Mackenzie's short story collection, Ghost Games.
In each tale, someone elects to play, in spite of all the warnings not to. And, of course, bad things happen!
I can honestly say that other than Bloody Mary and the Ouija Board, all of the games that inspire these stories were new to me. And imagine my surprise when I found that they were not created specifically for the collection!
I thoroughly enjoyed Mackenzie's stories. They're super creepy! Which of course makes for fun reading for any horror fan! Upping the creep factor is the fact that Mackenzie includes instructions for each of the games, along with the ominous note that you shouldn't ever play them!
There's a definite cinematic quality to Mackenzie's writing. The whole time I was reading, I kept thinking I'd like to see each of the stories adapted as films—in part so that I could experience them again for the first time!
If you're in the mood for a great collection of chilling tales, Ghost Games is definitely one you don't want to miss!
