5.0
6 in the Styx is a collection of 6 vivid stories of ultra-suspense cum personal horror with an slick varnish of weird as well. What would push a person over the edge of sanity? Are there personal definitions of "hell"? Who are the "skeletons" in our closets? With 6, rising author Brad Carl (Gray Areas, Craft Beer Burning, 5 Dead or Alive) explores the consequences of our actions. Bizarre and twisted, the collection allows you to enjoy a smattering of Carl's literary prowess in as little as 15 to 30 minutes (depending on your reading speed). This is an extreme plus for busy folks like myself who find reading relaxes them after a long day at the office. (I work an afternoon shift and get home late. Reading lulls me into a relaxed state.) In a literaryscape of trilogy novels that often span into 1000s of pages (I do love them but as you can see, it takes me time to read), Carl's work can be enjoyed in a short span without losing where you are in the novel, or who such and such character is. Highly recommended.
