Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. Today I am reviewing Thin Red Membrane by John James Minster and The Elevator Game by Z. Martin
Thin Red Membrane by John James Minster
Minster really knows how to write occult horror, with a bit of folk horror thrown in This collection of four tales takes you through time, through different locations and different cultures. A very diverse collection which is refreshing actually.
The theme of good vs evil is the main theme of the stories. An ancient relic, revenge, a cursed legend and a sound that brings about the end times. If you enjoy demonic horror you'll enjoy this.
Each story is a slow burn. Everything I've read from Minster has a slow building tension that'll keep you turning the pages.
Highly recommend!

The Elevator Game by Z. Martin
A man takes an elevator ride with a challenge on each floor. Each challenge got progressively more intense. I thought the fourth floor was bad, but then I got to the sixth and seventh floors.
Even though this is a short book, about 50 pages, it sure does take you on a wild ride. Since it's short there isn't a lot of character building, but to me that didn't matter because there was a lot of right and creativity put into creating the challenges.
I highly recommend if you're looking for a fast read that'll keep you wondering how exactly things could get worse.
Releases May 1st!
