5.0 out of 5 stars Disturbing... 23 April 2012
By The BookWorm
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this as part of the Dark Shorts Trilogy by the same author. It was actually the first one I read, and the nature of it led me on to read the other two.

Firstly, it is very well written. The style is pacey and engrossing, with a literary slant. Although it's a cliche, I found it hard to put down and did read it in one go until late at night.

As I said in the title, it is disturbing - there is strong imagery in there which some people might find horrifying - however it is not a gorefest, definitely more in the psychological thriller genre. It was certainly thought-provoking and uncomfortable. I did find myself thinking about it for a few days after which is a good sign in my book.

All in all, highly recommended, and I look forward to reading more from J.D. Hughes soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars The 500 27 Aug 2012
By Bill Barber
Format:Kindle Edition
THE 500 (Dark Shorts)

This is a thought provoking, mind twisting little spooky horror about a moral issue which will never lie dead as long man exists on earth. Well written, prose great, and an ending that will linger after the last word.

4.0 out of 5 stars Supernatural and Moral Overtones 13 Aug 2012
By Steven Ramirez - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a wonderful story filled with supernatural and moral overtones. The writing is excellent and moving. Gemma's pain--both physical and spiritual--is evident on every page. A great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gave me a chill, I kid you not! 21 April 2012
By Eric Weule - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
J. D. Hughes is a writer. Unequivocally, a writer. Mr. Hughes tackles a very difficult topic and makes it into a modern day "Tell Tale Heart." Extremely well written, paced, and ended. And I'm not kidding about the chill. Fabulous!
