Blue Lights, Bitter Roots: a short horror story

By: Dona Fox

Narrated by: Sarah L. Colton

Millions of threads so thin as to be invisible, so vaporous as to be ductile, drift through the classroom, emitting a chill and leaving a sense of unease. Hidden deep in their cloaks, the Blue Lights analyze the odors that cling to the individual cells of every child, from the top of each little head to the bottom of their ticklish feet and every dark secret place in between, from their gathering brains to their blood-soaked spleens. One girl feels dizzy; one boy throws up.

In 1918 Montana, the Spanish Flu, severe drought, and a myriad of strange phenomena plague the land. Fires rise in the night and burn down houses where entire families are trapped to die. Can one young mother protect her children from the fevers and the terrors while she unravels the mystery of the strange Blue Lights?

Unique horror story, very good.

Lovely prose writing and vivid imagery, as usual from this author. Pretty trippy too; I wasn't able to fully grasp the whole thing, but I suspect it was supposed to turn into a kind of fever-dream. Excellent listen in any case!

Good Story

I received this audio book for free in exchange for my honest review. This is a good story but you have to really listen close.

Interesting

very interesting short story that kept me guessing until the very end. Amazing that the author was able to put so much in such a short story. The narrator did a great job. The blue lights became very creepy with the narrator reading it.

Good Story!

This story is well written and the narrator done a great job telling the story. It definitely has a different story line.

Who is the psychopath?

Another eerie short from Dona Fox. I start out reading her stories knowing there will be a twist I don’t see coming and determined to discover it. Well, I still never do. This short horror story is no different.
Who is the psychopath, mom,dad or the gal with no name?
Have fun figuring it out.
Ms. Fox is the new breed of horror writers. Looking forward to reading and listening to more of her work.
