Steve
Marshall is an easy-going, affable, family man. His characters are average
citizens who battle the same demons we all do: boring jobs, fractured
relationships, and the dullness of routine. They live in small towns, dream of
more exciting lives and feel guilty when they give in to temptations like
alcohol, lust and the dreamed-of better world “out there”. Thankfully, for us,
the similarity ends there. Thankfully, we are not characters in a Steve
Marshall story.
The
ease with which we can identify with the hopes, dreams and flaws of these
ill-fated souls, is what makes us read on, all the while glancing over our
shoulder, double-checking the lock on the door and turning on another light in
the darkened room.
In
the pages of these stories, inexplicable town mysteries are solved in ways that
make us wish we didn’t know the truth. Villains become heroes by breaking vows,
yet we side with them and are forced to admit we would do the same. We become
voyeurs through the lens of Steve’s infallible vision of a dark and twisted
world.
Go ahead. Ride out the storm in that motel. Steal a bit of midnight
delight in the cemetery after the gates close. After all, what is there to be
afraid of?
