"Dark Illuminations," is an intriguing, and thought provoking collection of short stories. Each short unfolds a dark, enriching story of mystery and the "what if". The Author has the uncanny knack of writing his shorts in in-depth layers, to create one well-rounded, foreshadowed story. I was completely pleased with the flow, and could easily fall inline within the books pages.
(As I've mentioned, the book is compiled of several stories. I have chosen my favorite to tell you about.)
"Broken Reality" is the perfect term to describe this short dubbed,"The Stairwell." This story is about a man named Daniel, and his wife Lisa. As you can imagine, the story starts out simple enough with the couple riding in a car, "discussing" visiting family. Which seems to be a hot topic among the pair. Instantly, we are thrown into a different set of pace when a horrific car crash occurs, leaving Daniel hospitalized. Tragedy spreads and Daniel is forced to discover that what he "thinks" is reality, isn't what it seems. A mysterious stairwell holds all of the answers about this unforgiving tragedy, and Daniel is faced with making a crucial decision. But, is it really his decision to make? This story is full of plot-twist, and dark corners! Are you ready?
I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a thrilling, dark read. A.A Colvin paints a vivid picture of the unknown, and leaves the reader seeking more... I cannot wait for book 2 to be released, and will be keeping a close eye on this author!
