Set against the backdrop of graveyards, swamps, and other
foreboding locales, the five short horror stories in Perchance to
Scream conjure images of evil and violence. With his adept
characterization, Thomas Brumskill has created a collection of
truly horrific and disturbing stories.
In "Swamp Land Tale," a magazine writer makes a trip to her old
stomping grounds of New Orleans. The writer's conference offers an
opportunity to catch up with her estranged daughter. She is soon
horrified when she discovers what her daughter has become. In
"Loons," a group of men get together at a friend's funeral - a
murdered friend's funeral. They reminisce over old times and piece
together the details surrounding the gruesome and strangely
humorous death. In "Animals," a young man ventures beyond the edge
of madness to find the woman of his dreams. The journey, as well as
the conquest, has disturbing consequences. In "Cow Tipping," a
priest visits a former patient on death row. The inmate, convicted
of slaughtering his three best friends, offers a rather bizarre
explanation. And in "Captive," a young man meets a woman at a bar
in Myrtle Beach. Unexpectedly, he gives up his life of hard
partying and one-night stands for her. True love has finally
captured his heart. Well, at least that's how it seems.
"In Perchance to Scream," terror invades the cerebral and
everyday world, with evil planting itself in unsuspecting victims
and unusual circumstances.
