At Dark, I Become Loathsome

Eric LaRocca is a special kind of horror writer because you never know what you’re going to get, just as the world was changed with his viral story Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. At Dark, I Become Loathsome is a prime example of this.

“If you’re reading this, you’ve likely thought that the world would be a better place without you.”

A special inviting message for those who feel they have nothing left to live for. But Ashley Lutin can help them with a special procedure that is very discrete and secret. It involves a coffin and a hole and thirty minutes spent in complete isolation beneath the earth. After that half hour, the person comes back changed.

But things are taken to a whole new level when Ashley meets a potential client named Jinx who has a story to tell. It is a harrowing, despicable tale that is both horrific and fascinating. The two are brought together through this and other diabolical tales.

Eric LaRocca does it again with a most disturbing tale that is beautifully written in his unique hand. The language is lush but dark, the characters are whole but broken, and the story is like nothing you’ve read before.
