Adam Lights short story Taken throws a different light on the usual tales of abduction. Here is a protagonist whose secret trauma is not revealed until the very last of the story and it helps to give an O Henry ending that quite surprised me.
I have only just discovered the delights of Adam and Evans Light and their twisted world of horror and the unique way they write about it. I’m rapidly becoming a fan and I’ll be continually dipping into their new books as they write them, like a literary humming-bird darting into their different stories for a taste of sweet sinister terror.
Both the authors can be found in the realms of Goodreads and what a pleasant discovery they are. If you aren’t familiar with their work, check out the Goodreads site and keep your eyes peeled for some of the special deals that these two talented writers are a part of. Kindle deals abound and you can sample the terror filled treats that are becoming a staple of the two brothers.
I’ve only read two of the brother’s work and as I mentioned above, I am rapidly becoming a fan of their original ideas and very different story lines. I know that the title of this post is somewhat deceiving in that it looks like I am going to be addressing the story Taken its own. But being a short story, I would give way too much of the plot away.
I will say it deals with a long distance driver who loves his stay-at-home partner too much. So much in fact that he’ll do anything for her. It’s a great read and entertaining.
Check both Adam and Evans stuff out, if their stories were edible, I’d say, “They’re finger-licking good.”
A definite 4 star tale just for the unpredictable twist at the end.
