review 1: Eric had to get out of the safehouse. He couldn’t stand it for one more minute.That’s how he finds himself in the alley with the woman. Not sure if she’s spotted him yet, he slips deeper into the shadows.He’d first spotted her in the club. they exchanged passing glances. He should’ve known the night was going to be bad when he thought he saw her again at the next club.When he spots her in the shadows of a doorway outside, his worry turns to dread.Sure enough, she follows him, so he ducks into the alley to hide.But she follows him.She calls out to him.“Come on out and play, you little bastard….”She casually steps forward as Eric slips further down the alley, and her hand, when she withdraws it from her coat, holds a gun.Not good.This was fun. At first I thou... moreght Eric was one thing, then I thought he was another. It was fun finding out what he was or wasn’t and whether he was a good guy or a bad guy. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about that.You know that feeling you get where the hair stands up on the back of your neck and you’re sure someone or something is watching you? That’s what I experienced when reading Out After Dark. I’m sure that’s how the author wanted me to feel. Good job creeping me out.When the true story of the mysterious woman became clear, I was delighted. I had it somewhat figured out, but then Brandon did the twists thing again, and took it in another direction. An exciting one too!I just wish it had been longer!Four Stars for Out After Dark!
review 2: Out After Dark is a good short work of fiction, nearly as dark as the back streets in which it is set. Mystery is the key element to this story, as all the characters are nearly enshrouded in such a cloak of secrecy. I enjoyed the darker element and the re-imaging of the vampire figure. The suspense and action rival one another as the story builds to a climatic end, and the closing gives a subtle hint to the nature of the story and the interaction between the various characters. I thought it a very good work, and like previous readers, I found myself looking for more at the conclusion. Luffman's writing style is clear and structured, with imagery and descriptions that stay with the reader long after the closing of the story. His sentence style is tight, with each line hammering away at the narrative. He accomplished in a few pages what some authors would have difficulty doing in fifty or sixty. I enjoyed this work and certainly look forward to his next tale. less
