Warm, Dark Places Are Best by Mike Duke




Times are not good for Carl and Jessica. He's already on disability payment and finances are 'stretched' at best. When they move into a new, cockroach infested apartment block they are surprised to find the only roach free apartment is theirs. When they find out why they may just wish for roaches...

Warm, Dark Places is an unsettling, at times grotesque and totally squeamish story that reminded me of the stuff Shaun Hutson used to write. The nasty just keeps on coming and, yeah, I could guess what was coming but it didn't make things any easier when it did.

All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's nice to read something that will make your skin crawl every now and again.

Afterthought

I checked out the 'nasties' on google while reading this and they do actually exist... sweet dreams 😉
