Hell’s Bells is a short horror story; apparently loosely based
on actual events.
James and Andres are off to meet their favourite author, Richard
Gordon, at a book signing. On the way they meet an old hag on the subway; her
hair lank and her face covered with pus-filled spots (read here volcanoes).
Unfortunately she is Richard Gordon’s biggest fan and is also on the way to see
him. The more they try to stay away from her at the book signing, the more she
tries to befriend them. Grossed out by her appearance and behaviour they decide
to play a prank on her. Big mistake…
This is a well-written, fun (?) story with classic horror
inserts. It’s quick to read, yet with a moral that should be heeded. The
characters could have been fleshed out a little more, but I guess you can only
fit so much into a short story. I liked the snippets of other work by the
authors also included in the book. I’ll definitely be looking for these writers
in the future.
