Dark Water: Beaming Smile by Kevin James Breaux
This is a short horror story that is especially good. It runs about 30 pages so it‘s a quick read. Dark Water takes place during a flood and Sarah is a wife and mother that wants out of her life. She meets Jasmine who used to be a baby sitter for her several years ago and they have a heart to heart on the roof of Sarah’s home while waiting for rescue.

I'm not a big horror fan, but after a conversation with the author, he had assured me that this was not a full-out horror fest. I gave it a read and ended up being pleasantly surprised. I kept expecting something terrifyingly freaky (what with all that thumping in the night), but Kevin James Breaux managed to keep the scare-level just right. It's a story about human nature, of a person filled with thoughts of 'what-ifs' and life choices made. There is despair and regret, moments of joy, however...more
I wasn't really sure what I was getting into when I started reading this novelette. That's a good thing. Especially considering the fact that I was NOT expecting what happened! Just twist after twist! I'm not much of a horror gal but HOLY SHAZBOK, I wanna know if anything is coming after this! Sequel? Full length novel?
Amazing, Kevin! A-MAZ-ING! I loved it. I'll share it.
Five stars from me :)

This is the second book I've read by this author, and they were each very different in tone and genre. I think he has an amazing voice and reach.
This story is very short, a sit down read that takes about an hour.
But, it focuses on the fears and guilt that humans have to face when they've reached their breaking point.
Sarah is a mother, trapped in a life she never wanted. A life, exactly like the one her mother before her had.

Totally freaky, solid horror that's done with plot-driving intent, rather than with the intent to disgust the reader. Well done!
Very good story, enjoyed every moment.
Just got my first real Kindle, and this was the first thing I read on it. Wow -- what a way to indoctrinate my Kindle!! This is a fantastic short that you can feel with all senses and is disturbing on a multitude of levels. For every "Ah-ha!" moment I had there was another surprise, and the climax knocked my socks off. There's horror within horror, and I hope there is a sequel or full-length novel that comes out of this, because I want more!
