REVIEWED BY NEV
A copy of Rare Breeds was sent to Confessions of a
Reviewer by the author, Erik Hofstatter, in exchange for an honest review. This
is said review. This book is published by Dark Silo Press.
Erik Hofstatter. If
you have been reading Confessions from the beginning, you will know this is my
favourite name in the world of indie horror. We have had an up and down
relationship in terms of how I like his books but that is what makes me like
him even more. He keeps on coming back. I have been waiting on him writing
something in the same vain as the first thing of his I read, The Pariahs. Not particularly the same
type of story, just the same type of style.
His last short, Katerina and his collection Amaranthine and Other Stories left me
wanting more from him. Was I going to get it with Rare Breeds?
This is what I
thought.
Zora and Aurel
are married and live with Zora’s daughter, Livie. It’s a relationship that has
had its ups and downs. Aurel sleepwalks and he can never remember what he has
done when he wakes up the next day.
This worries Zora
a great deal. She is always worried in case he does something to harm Livie.
She should be
more worried about what he is doing with his secret sister, Cornelia.
