Most of the characters are suspect because of their outright strange behavior Grady even encounters a man who is happy to be possessed (he’s a CEO, natch). In one scene, his first person narration erodes into second person as the demon takes over telling the story. But my favorite is Sarah Langan’s “The Old Jail.” It concerns Grady, a man who is possessed by a mysterious demon. An exploding head isn’t even the most disturbing event.
The story builds in intensity from the wistful opening to the soul-crushing ending. The stories are also excitingly original though they contain familiar subjects like ghosts and demons, the ideas are fresh and compelling.įor an example, Michael Olson’s “Dreamland,” about a dream-inhabiting creature that infects everyone who encounters it. Going with the recent trend in horror of the tragic ending, these stories tend to be dark and creepy-they start in reality and become twisted to a bizarre angle. Usually with a collection of stories, one has to put up with selections of varying strength, but these are all winners. While some of Blumhouse’s films are a little meh ( Ouija, I’m looking in your direction), these stories are without exception fabulous. Robert Cargill (writer of Sinister), James De Monaco (director of the Purge movies), Scott Derrickson (director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister, and Deliver Us From Evil), Ethan Hawke (star of Sinister and The Purge), Mark Neveldine (director of The Vatican Tapes), Eli Roth (director of Cabin Fever, Hostel, Hostel 2, and The Green Inferno), Jeremy Slater (writer of The Lazarus Effect), and Scott Stewart (director of Legion and Dark Skies).
