Spinal Remains: A Collection of Stories by Chad Lutzke

4.0

“And I felt if Grandpa poked him too hard the skin would split and he might explode, covering us in death juice.”- from the story Cycles
Chad Lutzke writes vivid stories of morbid curiosities that nestle into your subconscious leaving you thinking about it days later and wondering if it was a nightmare that you are recalling or is it a flashback to one of Lutzke’s tales.
The thing with these stories is that the main character could be any of us. They are just regular people until they get put in extraordinary circumstances and things get…odd.
There is sorrow, humor, a nod to the classics, and kids being kids in this collection of horror tales but most of all, no matter what is happening, you feel a connection to the story, one that isn’t going to release you anytime soon.
