I love a good horror story, and Catherine Cavendish's The Demons of Cambian Street did not disappoint. This novella grabbed my attention from the first page and kept me on my toes until the very last sentence - which, by the way, sent a chill down my spine. The story details the terrifying ordeal Stella, who has just recovered from cancer, goes through after moving to the quiet town of Priory St Michael with her husband, Paul. The couple moves into a flat above the bar where Paul works, and it is in this flat where Stella notices strange happenings. There's something unsettling about the cupboard, not to mention the mysterious laughter she hears at night. The stories she learns about the previous tenants fuel her fear and she feels like she's going crazy with each bump in the night. I was drawn deep into this story and recommend it to anyone who enjoys the horror/paranormal genres. It's creepy, well-written, and I love how the Wiccan and Christian elements combine into an explosive conclusion as the characters fight the evil lurking on Cambian Street.

I enjoy plots that twist, suspense that builds, and vivid fear factors that make my heart pound and leave images in my brain. This novella delivers all those things with an expert's touch. The writing is smooth and a pleasure to read, and the pacing is just right for readers like me who like action *and* characterization (who cares what happens if you don't know the characters well enough to feel something for them?). Definitely a recommended read for lovers of dark fiction. You'll find plenty to fear and plenty to like.

First I have to admit that I love Cat Cavendish's books. Having said that, this is one of her best. Deliciously creepy, this tale is unpredictable fun.
