- With a piñata, childhood friends and a delicious punch bowl, a father’s son is turning six and is in full birthday party mode. However when fear and dread take over the festivities, a horrific aftermath of devastation becomes an unsettling reality. - A husband and wife settle in for a good time on a moonlight beach where calm waves meet the quiet shore. Nevertheless, the romantic setting is nothing but a facade for an abusive relationship where the opportunity for freedom is just an ocean wave away. - Equipped with lock pick and flashlight, a thief is preparing for a valuable score within the walls of a stranger’s house. Instead of finding a jewelry box or safe, an encounter with something not of this earth provides the burglar with a frightening valuable life lesson. Suburban Monsters by Christopher Hawkins is thirteen tales of terror glued together with the worse kind of sick. Feeding on apprehensive phobias, Hawkins conceives new ways to expose the reader to an ultimate creepiness. The sensation of having an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other linger between the pages and throughout each story. Beware: these horrific morsels are intensely similar to a parasite that feeds on fear and anxiety. Ok, let’s address the elephant in the room shall we…The Stumblyum Imperative. A little girl is enamored with a children’s television show. A production that features fuzzy plush costumed characters with oversized hands and shady values. As Stumblybum, Tink-A-Bink, Mudgett and Ringmaster Reggie prepare for the arrival of The Toyman, an uneasiness of an apocalyptic Book Of Revelations of sorts approaches. If M. Night Shyamalan directed an episode of The Teletubbies, you would have the twistedness that exists within this disturbing short story. Not only is this worth the price of admission, it should be a full blown novel. 
Author Christopher Hawkins has something to show you. Mannequins, phantoms and powers that dwell within the shadows. Take his hand and follow, you won’t ever be the same again. A five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Horror Bookworm Recommendation.
