REVIEWS FOR “The Darkness” short story available at www.eddyjfree.com and on Amazon.com:

The Darkness is a short story, which probably took me about 20 - 30 minute to read. It is told from the point of view of an American man, suffering from depression following the death of two close friends. He takes himself to London for a break, and here he meets a stranger who offers to show him the `real’ London; the London not usually found by tourists.

Free’s story telling and writing style is excellent, and it really sets the scene of a dark and sinister story. You could feel the man’s apprehension as he delved further into `The Darkness’ and the book, particularly the early half, is very atmospheric.

The book is billed as a sci-fi thriller, but I wouldn’t describe in that way, I’d describe it more as an atmospheric thriller. The story moves at a great pace and has a nice little message for us all at the end.

As stand alone short stories go, this is one of the best I’ve read, and I’ll be looking out for more of Eddy J. Free’s books and stories in the future.

I don’t really read fiction but knowing Eddy J. Free as a songwriter and music producer, I was interested to see how the story of “The Darkness” matched the soundtrack that he created by the same name. And man was I surprised! The story written from the point of view of a depressed man who has had a recent loss of two of his best friends and goes to London to get away. He then meets a stranger that gives him a tour of the “underground” sites of London and then some. And that “and then some” is where it all gets twisted.

It is a quick read, no fillers, and that’s part of why I couldn’t put it down. I just couldn’t help but wonder, what’s gonna happen next…

I can definitely see a short movie being made based on “The Darkness.” Heck, maybe even a full-length feature, because all the elements are there.

Good job Eddy!

Looking for a short, fast-paced, anxiety fueled story? Eddy J Free delivers with The Darkness. 

A man, wrestling with his depression, goes to London and is drawn into the under-belly of the city. You will learn that it is true that you should never trust a stranger. 

I anticipate more great stories by this author and suggest you grab this short tale.

Mad City 2010 was my first album and received an honorable mention among “The Best of 2010” list by Cincinnati’s CityBeat magazine.  Fifteen artists contributed their talents and collaborated with me on this project, all proceeds of which go to “Keep A Child Alive”, an organization which provides life-saving medical treatment to children in Africa and India living with HIV.  You can get it now exclusively on Bandcamp, re-mastered with a newly designed cover, and the best part is you can download it for free or decide how much you’d like to donate to “Keep A Child Alive” by choosing your own price.  Thanks.

On May 17 I’m releasing my new EP titled “Star Trek”.  It will be available for download at www.eddyjfree.com.  There will be some great guest appearances and I’m really challenging myself musically to make this my best effort yet.

Thanks to all my supporters and friends and I’ll be releasing more details as well as free downloads as we get closer to the release date.
