The Mother of All Monsters eBook Paula D Ashe James Ward Kirk
A dark, haunting story told through a deceptively simple narrative which peels back like an onion, revealing new layers of depth and meaning. A community is shocked and horrified by a series of disappearances. Three young girls, kidnapped and later found dead. A serial killer. Panic and paranoia spread through the community until a local mother makes a shocking discover about her son, home from his first year of college that sets the whole tale on its head. Her reaction, told unflinchingly through an epistolary framing device; a letter to her sister, brings up images of a traumatic childhood and illustrates well the philosophy of "He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster". It also touches on the complex concept of nature vs nurture; are negative behavioral traits hereditary, or learned? It further poses the question; if it is in the blood, can it skip a generation? Though even if it seems to, is it really always there, lurking, suppressed, but waiting to come out in the right circumstances?Product details

The Mother of All Monsters eBook Paula D Ashe James Ward Kirk Reviews
For a short story, Ashe packs the tension. This story reminds me of something I would have seen in a Korean film, like Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. You know where the story is leading, but you want the characters to STOP; you want them to retain some semblance of morality... but the narrative sweeps you along with its casual, business-like prose; the main character in this story is predictable, but narrator's voice unfolds like the retelling of a simple surgical procedure, which makes it all the more shocking. While you're reading, you want to know something... and while you have to wait until the very last page, you understand why you read it in the first place. For ten minutes of your time, a horror fan can't find better entertainment.
A Totally creepy short story with a surprising ending I didnt see coming. I can't wait to read more of Paula D. Ashe's stories!
This was a riveting ten-minute read, and I loved it. Well done!
I read the 'Hell' anthology by James Ward Kirk Fiction, which contains Paula's story 'Because you watched', before reading this story. Like that story, Paula manages to pull you into 'The mother of all monsters', show you the scary side of humanity and basically leave you with new traumas and nightmares. Paula's on my 'to watch' list. Let's hope for a prolific career!
Perfectly paced story, suspenseful, and even scared me a bit. I thought about this story for days after finishing it. Well written and really had the hair on the back of my neck standing up!
Disturbing as hell. One of the creepiest serial killer stories I've read in along time.
This is not the first story I've read by this author, and I have to say, her work consistently keeps blowing me away. I think I might see some fandom in my future here. Paula's stories so far have been dark and very confrontational. I have to say, this might not be everyone's cup of tea, so if you are faint of heart, this is not the author for you. But if you like it dark and gritty and uncomfortable, Paula is your girl. I found myself looking away a few times, when I read her writing, and her words grabbed me, and would not let me go. Her writing is excellent and the way she builds a story is very masterful. I tip my hat to this author, and I am deeply, deeply impressed (something that doesn't happen to me too often!)
