The story starts with our narrator recounting a story when he and his brother were children, traveling with their father during one of his business trips. The narrator\u2019s brother, Jamie, wants food in the middle of the night, so he sneaks out to use the vending machine. The narrator has a bad feeling and follows Jamie \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An awful fear took hold of me. \u201cJamie, don\u2019t\u2013!\u201d I began to say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was a terrible sound like a tearing and a sucking all at once, and I was sure I heard a short, sharp scream but it was cut almost immediately. I ran around the corner. There was nothing there. The machine stood, contented, burping to itself. Its lights flash reassuringly. Its inside was laden as before with tempting treats.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This story reminds me a lot of the kinds of horror movies I watched as a kid. Movies like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Blob<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Killer Klowns From Outer Space<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that weren\u2019t afraid to take entertaining risks. When those risks pay off, it can be loads of fun. I remember reading stories written by the great John Shirley when I was a teenager and thinking to myself, \u201cHoly crud, I didn\u2019t even know you could write that kind of thing!\u201d This story reminds me of those greats. And it\u2019s so well written that it practically reads itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dark Pathway: Putting the \u201cfun\u201d in Horror<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s actually something really cool about the concept in this story that I almost missed on my first read. Toward the end, one of the characters suggests that the mythical and legendary monsters of our past may have \u201cevolved\u201d into something more modern in order to survive. Maybe that\u2019s what this killer vending machine really is: just a supernatural creature that once existed in the form of a ghoul or a werewolf.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take that idea and run with it. Let\u2019s take another modern convenience and make it <\/span><b>EVIL<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And let\u2019s have some freaking fun doing it, too! Let\u2019s go for that retro-modern horror story that doesn\u2019t take itself too seriously.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So here\u2019s your new monster: a roller coaster. No, I\u2019m not kidding! The setting is an old theme park that\u2019s barely breaking even. Multiple safety violations. Lots of run-down concession stands. But there\u2019s one really awesome roller coaster ride. Two loops, one huge drop, and a pitch-black tunnel with the face of a demon painted on the opening. And one night, during a routine ride, someone disappears when the coaster passes through the tunnel. No one notices until the ride is over. Everyone is confused, but people keep going on the ride. And every single ride, a person goes missing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill in the gaps, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but don\u2019t worry too much about the gaps<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Instead, focus on making the story fun. This is a man-eating rollercoaster! Lean into the concept, and give your readers an ol\u2019 fashioned fright!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ken Brosky is the author of\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Beyond-Ken-Brosky-ebook\/dp\/B09HYTNCL8\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=19DJPXZDGB8XA&amp;keywords=ken+brosky+the+beyond&amp;qid=1649040148&amp;sprefix=ken+brosky%2Caps%2C257&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Beyond-Ken-Brosky-ebook\/dp\/B09HYTNCL8\/ref%3Dsr_1_1?crid%3D19DJPXZDGB8XA%26keywords%3Dken%2Bbrosky%2Bthe%2Bbeyond%26qid%3D1649040148%26sprefix%3Dken%2Bbrosky%252Caps%252C257%26sr%3D8-1&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1649193860186000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3lEie6gD2dgj9-S5syt1mK\">The Beyond<\/a><\/strong><em><strong>, a horror novel available through Timber Ghost Press.
