 Sour Candy

Written by Kealan Patrick Burke 

About from Goodreads.com

At first glance, Phil Pendleton and his son Adam are just ordinary father and son, no different from any other. They take walks in the park together, visit county fairs, museums, and zoos, and eat together overlooking the lake. Some might say the father is a little too accommodating given the lack of discipline when the child loses his temper in public. Some might say he spoils his son by allowing him to set his own bedtimes and eat candy whenever he wants. Some might say that such leniency is starting to take its toll on the father, given how his health has declined.

What no one knows is that Phil is a prisoner, and that up until a few weeks ago and a chance encounter at a grocery store, he had never seen the child before in his life.

Pros

• The Twilight Zone vibes

Cons

• Wasn’t scary at all even though it was supposed to be a Horror book

Quotes I love

• There was something terribly wrong with the child.

• “And what are you?” -Phil

• All he will ever retain from however long he spends in that other places—and surely it’s an eternity— will be fragments of horrors.
