Black Shadows Under a Blood Moon

A Horror Short Story

By: Roma Gray

Narrated by: JD Kelly

One by one, cities have been falling to a terrorist attack. No one can stop the terrorists or figure out where the next attack will take place. All that is known is when the attacks start, the strange gas the terrorists use turns the moon a blood red, and black shadows of men and women are seen, slinking among the buildings.

Yet, somehow, not a single survivor has managed to provide a solid description of the people attacking their towns. Most contribute this to the mysterious gas that seems to put the residence into a temporary psychotic state, but what if it’s something more than that?

Another great one

I love Roma Gray's stories, and this one was no disappointment. The book has great suspense, and I found myself pausing and listening with an intent ear to see if the black shadows would be creeping in on the family. I'm glad I didn't listen to this earlier because we just had a blood moon and it would have freaked me out. A different narrator than most of her books, but JD Kelly still did an excellent job. If you're a fan of horror, you won't regret listening to this one. **I received a free review copy of this book, which in no way influenced my opinion.

Creepy short story!

This was a creepy read. I'd love to see longer books from this author as she has a very descriptive writing style that immediately grabs you.

The narrator, JD Kelly, was awesome. He put emotion behind the words and had a clear voice. I'll have to check out more from him.

I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

Who can you trust?

Roma Gray’s imagination scares me. Not just because of the horror aspects of her stories – like the violence – but because of the psychological trauma she inflicts on her readers. The paranormal aspect of the story should help me cope with the fright – I mean, these things can’t really happen, right? Yet somehow that doesn’t help me handle the fear. In this story, the ‘terrorists’ who are taking over the world are ephemeral and hard to nail down. And, in the end, I think the truth is even scarier than the rumours and stories told by the government.

In fact, who can truly believe what the government says anyway?

JD Kelly narrates Roma’s books and he does a fabulous job of carrying the tension while maintaining the credulity of the story. He could have made the story campy, but he didn’t. The combination of Roma and JD is a great one and I hope there are more audiobooks to come.

Mystery, foreboding, horror

An excellent combination of mystery and foreboding, this Roma Gray story builds to a horrific climax. JD Kelly gives his usual excellent narration. If you enjoy this, try Roma Gray’s Celebration of Horror.

Roma does it again

I have loved everything I have listened to by Ms. Gray. My only complaint about this story is I WANT MORE. This would be a fantastic novel. I would love to know more about the shadows and heat how people try to outrun them, escape from them, fight them. Roma, I want more. 😢 The narration was very good. Well suited for the story. Kudos to all involved.
