An arm, freakishly long and thick, reaches in.
Piercing the intense light.
The pale skin is matted with dark, bushy hair and riddled with a host of dime-sized scars, long since healed.
It swipes the air, missing us.
But returns.
It grasps my hair pulls me through the opening, into the basement …
Praise for TRIGGERS
“I had the distinct pleasure of hearing this story read live … if one can call an unsettling, spine-chilling occurrence a distinct pleasure (which, quite frankly, I do). McIlveen’s characters ring true to life, and his prose is absolutely stunning, but it’s his mastery of the slow-build of suspense that makes Triggers so memorable. His entire story is built around a theme that is in and of itself unspeakably horrific, and yet he makes it even scarier by ‘slow playing’ his hand in a manner that would make the late, great Charles L. Grant proud. Truly a tale befitting of his company’s ‘Twisted’ moniker.”
