The Variant Effect
The Variant Effect: Blood Angel
BACK IN THE DAY ... People didn’t know that it was happening, so it was totally out of control by the time authorities understood that something serious was going on. As a result, the worst of it emerged from the shadows, hidden behind closed doors and far from view, where the true horror played out in isolation. Where no one could hear you scream. The Variant Effect was impossible to detect until you were already infected. There was no way to tell if it was near, if it was cooking in you or if it had passed you by altogether. First responders were the first to document evidence of its existence, the first to see it happening, and often the first to feel it boiling in their blood. Stress set it off and fear fed it, so it was a perfect fit for cops, firemen and EMTs. But in the beginning all they could do was file incident reports and wonder.

3 1/2 stars rounded up to 4
"Back in the Day", the story begins, with an initial outbreak of the Variant Effect. I read this before reading the first book, "The Variant Effect: Skin Eaters," and would have enjoyed it much more, I believe, had I read Borland's story first. Not that it mattered, though. Re-reading it now, I understand more of the references that the author makes, to the day and to rituals. Still, a good read for a horror short.
