Review by: louise mcdougal on Aug. 21, 2011 :
Sinkhole is an amazing short story that is a gripping scary ride the reader takes with a young woman called Angela. Initially there is fear for her safety as she hears a voice coaxing her into the hole that suddenly appears. You want to tell her not to listen but are at the same time intrigued enough to wonder what story the hole needs to tell. John Brinling does, once again, a superb job of keeping the reader in suspense and turning pages. I don't want to spoil the fun for new readers of Mr. Brinling's stories by sharing any more about the hole's secret. The outcome of Angela's scary adventure in that hole is worth the wait. Does justice prevail? Read the story and see for yourself. It does not disappoint.

I very much enjoyed "Sinkhole: A Short Story"! I'm a big chicken when it comes to creepy, horror type books, I really enjoy them but I can get spooked pretty easily. I didn't find this to be a "leave the lights on" type of spooky horror story. Instead, as odd as it sounds, it was one that left you with a good feeling. Don't get me wrong, there was plenty of suspense as the story unfolds that kept me turning the pages as I was trying to figure out what/who was talking to Angela from within the sinkhole. That's all I'm going to say about the story because I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so if you want to find out what/who was talking to Angela and how a horror book can leave you with a good feeling, you're just going to have to pick up a copy and read it for yourself! :)
