5.0 out of 5 stars Dark and creepy - what a collection!, 30 Jan 2012
This review is from: Head Cases (Kindle Edition)
Head Cases, a collection of 9 short tales of Dark Fiction and Horror, is another star turn from the inestimable Mr Nicholson - with two of the tales written by fellow storytellers William Meikle and John Everson.

The opener, `Fear Goggles' is a mind-bending chiller of what lies just beyond vision - and things which are not talked about. Just remember to wear the glasses and you'll be fine again.
`Beggar's Velvet' is a horrifying reminder of the damage that family abuse can do - as Cynthia is tortured by the fear of what lies under her bed in the dust, waiting for her in the darkness.
`The White House' (by John Everson) is very, very cold and disturbing. A young girl is taken in by kindness and given a tour of a very grisly past by a captive old lady with unfinished work.
`Heal Thyself' is an interesting story that deals with Racism through the therapy of a troubled man and a violent past life. Senstively handled - whilst still having a sufficiently taut ending.
`Metabolism' tells a relentless rhythm of the devouring, omniscient City, and the fear that drives Elise to escape its harsh and stultifying grasp. This is almost Beat Poetry in its cadence of breathless anxiety.
`Letters & Lies'. Going Postal in all its glory as Charlie reads a long-dead letter and begins to hear the voices in the Mail and all their sordid, desperate secrets. It's just too much for a regular guy like Charlie to hear. Short but wry.
`The Weight of Silence'. The sadness of losing a child returns to haunt a lonely, guilt-wracked mother. How far would someone go in a trade-off between happiness and money?
`Wee Robbie' (by William Meikle) is another of this Author's famed Celtic-wreathed stories with a dark and frightening past. An impending birth leads to a horrifying end.
`Do You Know Me Yet?' is an amusing twist - a lunatic with the certainty of having written every horror bestseller going. A clever tip of the hat to stories and films that have gone down in legend.

Great collection - great value - don't miss out!

4.0 out of 5 stars The world is a place of insanity..., 6 Aug 2011
By Bruce J. Blanchard "Darkenwulf" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Head Cases (Kindle Edition)
The world is a place full of insanity and we're not doing so great ourselves. Scott Nicholson dives within the human exterior and pries apart our brain patterns. Streets can become black tongues. Innocent windows (who says they're innocent?) are watching our every move. We're observed and no one's around us - or is it that we just can't see them in the shadows. Scott has us look into the mirror and we just might spot ourselves. If you are looking for horror (the traditional kind), you may not find it here. You will find insanity, paranoia, and intense guilt - how's that for kicks? Included are two stories by other writers. John Everson's The White House is a fabulous story that will stick in your craw and refuse to leave. William Meikle's Wee Robbie is a story about a birth gone bad. Not every horror story involves serial killers, the walking dead, or fearsome ghosts. So download the book, sit back and read - and go postal with the rest of us. I hope this review helps you decide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nicholson is on his game again, 18 Mar 2011
By Generation Next Publications - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Head Cases (Kindle Edition)
I've always been a fan of short stories and have read everything of Scott Nicholson's that I've been able to find, so imagine my joy when I found this new collection.

Scott's prose is just as good in his short stories (which is not always easy to do) as it is in his longer works.

I recommend this collection to everyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars good collection of creep, 27 Mar 2011
By S. Stogner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Head Cases (Kindle Edition)
This is a collection of short stories by Scott plus two stories by other authors.

1. Fear Goggles (the scary thing is there are people out there that probably see this stuff)

2. Beggar's Velvet (did you ever jump onto your bed because of what might be under there?)

3. The White House by John Everson (made me think of a twisted Hansel and Gretel story)

4. Heal Thyself (this one was funny and clever)

5. Metabolism (nope, still don't get it)

6. Letters and Lies (giving "going postal" a whole new meaning)

7. The Weight of Silence (sad, creepy)

8. Wee Robbie by William Meikle (look out for the little people)

9. Do you know me yet? (about the author) (charming!)

I enjoyed all but one of these stories. My favorites were Letters and Lies, The White House, The Weight of Silence and Heal Thyself. I didn't like Metabolism because...I just didn't understand it <G>. What took me by surprise was the bonus article about the author. Scott tells about his self and you know what? I like the guy! :)
