Eater Of Eyes

by Mike Cooley

The grey stone wall to her right rose like a cliff face above her. Birds circled and cawed in the dusk as the baleful yellow sun shone through a haze; they looked like pterodactyls with outstretched, leathery wings. To her left was a pool of water that stretched away into the fog. In the water the dark, burned trunks of logs bobbed--or were they bodies? Dara can't remember Dan, or the murders. Someone is stealing eyes. And there's a monster; it lives in a wooden box.

About the author

I have been writing science fiction and fantasy stories for many years. My writing has an edge to it. I enjoy exploring the dark and surreal landscapes of the mind.

My first fantasy novel, The Crystal Warrior, has just been released. I am currently working on book two in the series.

I also have a science fiction collection called Skin of Giants.

I grew up in Washington State, went to college in New Mexico, and now live in Minnesota. I am an Engineering Consultant (nerd) for a large retail corporation during the day, and a fiction writer / musician at night.

I live in the suburbs, just north of Minneapolis, with one wife (dancer), one kid (boy), and two cats (fat).

Reviews

The title alone captured me! Its an outside the box horror story that I found to be refreshing! I can not sit here and write a proper review for fear that I will give away too much! I will say it is exceptionally well written. I do have a few questions though. Is Dan to blame for what Dara becomes? Where did the boxes come from? We need answers Cooley! Lol. Overall I think if you are into the horror and mystery books you should check this one out!

When I first started reading this book, it was very interesting to me. I wanted to find out what was happening with Dara. I had figured there was something going on Dan, and he did something to her. And as the book went on, we found out that he did do something to her.

There were many points at this book that I had to re-read what was written because I wasn’t sure that I completely understood what was going on. I am still confused about what Dan did to Dara to cause her to become what she did. As well as what the boxes originally came from, but I think that’s part of the mystery behind this book.

Overall, I think if you are into the mystery/horror books you should check the one out! It has great points and twists. Not my normal type of book, as you know, but I am glad I read it!
