Creepy Critters on a Mission...

DIAPHANOUS by Roy C. Booth and R. Thomas Riley (2011 MinnKota Publications / 57 pp / eBook)


What seems like a missing persons tale quickly develops into an old-school creature feature in this nifty collaboration.  I always have a hard time reviewing these short tales without giving too much away, but suffice it to say the sense of impending doom the authors create between the worried characters creates a tension that'll have you buzzing through this in no time.


It's no easy task to pull off a monster story without a little bit of camp creeping in, but Booth and Riley have done it...and if the suspense doesn't get your goosebumps going, the wicked critters on display here surely will.  DIAPHANOUS is a fine way for any monster fan to KILL an hour or so.
