Worse Than Myself by Adam Golaski is a most enjoyable supernatural horror book. Horror fans who love exquisite language, colourful and three-dimensional caracters, and eerie atmosphere will admire it. Considering that Adam Golanski is a poet, it is easy to see why his prose is so lyric; whilst his knack for sending chills along the readers’s spine must be a natural talent of him.
Worse Than myself consists of eleven short stories, all of them full of tension and slowly building, brooding terror, beautifully written, disturbing fictions about the reminiscence of the main character; about a frightening stranger in a park; about someone who overhears a conversation about occult rituals at a party and soon discovers something hideous; about vile zombies…
Golaski grabs the reader’s attention from the very first page, I was engaged right from the first short story, The Animator’s House, which is saying something, as normally I am not fond of underage protagonists.
Adam Golanski is highly recommended to Stephen King aficionados.
