Guest Review for Feast by David Vorhees
Guest Review by Sol A.
The first anthology of its kind, ‘The Feast: And Other Horrifying Tales,’ is a fresh take on horror that is bound to keep readers up well after bedtime. Every story in this collection is set at, and revolves around a different holiday. New Years Eve, Valentine’s Day, Easter, The Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are all included and none are left unsullied. In all of the horror anthologies that I’ve read, I’ve never come across one that had such an interesting hook or one that took such innocent holidays and made them so spooky!
This series has everything from ghosts and ghouls to cannibals and madmen, and every tale is unique and scary in its own way. The stories range in content, from the Easter story about a preacher who has been carrying on an extra-marital affair with one of his congregants and begins finding pieces of a body hidden in Easter eggs all around town, to a poem about the ghost of a former slave hunter who returns every Halloween to terrorize the people of the town that executed him.
Thanksgiving’s story was the titular, ‘The Feast’ and revolved around a young couple and their four year-old son who embark on a trip to see family for the holiday. While driving on a sparse country road, they get into an accident and go off the road into a tree. Both parents are knocked unconscious and by the time they wake up, their son has gone missing. Soon, they discover that he has been found wandering in the woods by a rural-dwelling family with whom they share a tense and suspicious meal.
This astoundingly creative collection is one that is definitely worth checking out if you appreciate horror. It’s perfect for a fall read and is sure to give you chills! Vorhees is a modern day Edgar Allan Poe! Five Stars!
