August's Eyes by Glenn Rolfe

4.0

"August's Eyes" was a captivating story that creates a thin veil between the spirit and the living worlds. Our main character, John has a traumatic past that he doesn’t quite remember but when his nightmares start to leak into his everyday life, he must uncover what demons are hiding in his shadows. I was thoroughly entertained throughout this story. There wasn’t any part of the “August’s Eyes” that I found to be lacking. The character development was great, but I do wish there was more background information on said characters.What I did find issue with is that “August’s Eyes” is a mixed bag of everything horror wise. You have creeps, ghosts, old magic, and an oblivious protagonist.But it was one of those situations where you couldn’t really do the story without including all those things unfortunately it still made it feel messy. Glenn Rolfe is a wonderful author and with his callbacks throughout his stories, his characters being extremely relatable and flawed I always look forward to more of his work in the future.
