Down by the Sea by Michelle Mellon

Greetings from the Ether,

We all know the term “hidden gem.” Be it a �lm, or an artist, or even an author. There are fewterms that could better describe Michelle Mellon and her debut collection “Down By the Sea,”published by HellBound Books. Mellon’s collection is remarkable in its content, and even moreso in the pristine quality of prose. The author writes with beautiful, o�en lyrical skill, and each

story eloquently cra�s a narrative based in unimaginable horrors, and real-life atrocities.Leaning more towards dark �ction as a whole, rather than the cosmic horror or weird �ction weusually review, it was a breath of fresh air to read such a page-turning, original set of storiesthat honestly deserves far more attention than it has received. If you’re looking to catch the nextbig voice in dark �ction before they burst into the mainstream, Michelle Mellon and hercollection are the perfect candidates.

The collection opens with a tale that cautions us not to trust that old lady in the neighborhoodthat everyone knows. “Crawlspace” is told through the eyes of a delinquent boy who wantsnothing more than to cause mayhem and rebel against his family. These plans collide with OldLady Ennis as she introduces our protagonist to a fate that accompanies all little boys who �nda bit too much bravery in the little neighborhood. Mellon masterfully cra�s the world in whichthe story takes place, and ensures that the dialogue and description are more than enough tokeep our eyes glued to each page.

The next story is “Crash Test Dummy,” another cautionary tale but far more disturbing than theprior piece. In the vein of classic Stephen King, Mellon delivers bombs on each page as we delvedeeper into the psyche of a man who justi�es an atrocious act that he happened to get awaywith. We �nd disgust in the character’s thoughts and how he �nds himself unaccountable forhis actions. But soon, we learn as he does that revenge is a dish best served cold. The endingbreaks into supernatural territory, but in the most unexpected of ways. Michelle Mellon is anexpert in page-turning prose, and “Crash Test Dummy” is one of the �nest examples of thistalent in the collection.

In “Somebody’s Angel,” Mellon transports the readers into the mind of a mentally unstablelittle girl who is pregnant and living under a religious, backwoods roof. The author employsrealistic dialogue and accents that leap from the page, making it impossible not to feel asthough we are right there with the family. As we learn more of the protagonist’s past and whatled her to commit the acts she does to her family at the end of the story, it’s di�cult not to sidewith her. Mellon knows how to warp our perspective, how to draw the strings of our thoughtsinto the direction she chooses. “Somebody’s Angel” is a prime example of the plethora oftechniques the author knows how to execute with ease, and we couldn’t be more happy to bealong for the ride.

Next up is a �ash �ction titled “Fallen Leaves,” where we follow a narrator who takes a shortcutthrough an alley, only to be met by something otherworldly. Another example of MichelleMellon’s penchant for taking tropes and spinning them on their head, “Fallen Leaves” is aconcise, �uid �ash piece that harnesses the author’s talent in an amazing way. The storyborders on weird �ction, and the concepts the author utilizes are fresh, adding a dose ofsomething new to a story we’ve all heard before. Mellon obliterates expectations with everystory, and “Fallen Leaves” is one of the best showcases of this.

“Does Your Mother Know?” thrusts us into a gruesome scenario in the �rst few paragraphs,nailing us right into the action. We’re treated with a serial killer as he starts the routine ofkilling his latest victim, a young girl. We learn our killer has done this many times, and that hishobby, so to speak, has become second nature. He makes the mistake of letting the girl ask aquestion, and this question is one he never expected and doesn’t know the answer to. Going intothe story, it’s easy to �rst suspect that we have ourselves another dark crime tale, but it quicklyspins into a psychological piece that only adds to the dread surrounding its already brimmingatmosphere. Another fresh take on an age-old genre piece, Mellon proves her versatility andability to put her own spice into anything she cooks.

We next �nd ourselves wrapped in a blanket of paranoia, “The Corner of My Eye” presentingsome of the most psychologically disturbing prose in the collection. We follow our narrator asthey describe the constant sensations of noticing things that change in the peripheral, smallevents that only they can see through the corner of their eye. Mellon succumbs us to the weightof a life that drowns in paranoia and an unstable mind. The small, strange details that theauthor uses are subtle, but convincing enough to strap us into our seats. We’re treated with athrilling work of �ction that is reminiscent of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The YellowWallpaper,” and the horror is deeply ingrained into the bones of our narrator, as they welcomeus to join them in a new world, a novel insight that can only be granted through payingattention to what we see in the corner of our eyes.

In the titular tale, “Down By the Sea,” we are gi�ed with perhaps Mellon’s best work to date.Launching the reader into a sharp, cosmic horror rollercoaster of a ride, we learn with amourning family that sometimes old superstitions are more than they seem. Mellon hits everyemotional note in “Down By the Sea,” showing us the impacts of death and how they can lead usto justify things we can’t quite explain. She illustrates the common event of passing o� an olderfamily member as crazy, or superstitious, and how these mindsets are o�en not as easilyanchored with children. Combine this with a hereditary curse, an ancient evil within the sea,and prose so eloquent that readers will �nd it impossible to put the book down, and you haveone of the best pieces of short �ction in recent memory. “Down By the Sea” is the magnum opusof Michelle Mellon’s debut collection, and we are positive that it will drive its watery pull intoyour heart and leave you with only a desire for more of the author’s beautiful writing.

We follow up with a short and (not so) sweet tale titled “Green Thumb” about an oldergentlemen who is manicuring his garden in the hopes of winning the top prize in a competition.We quickly learn there is a bit more going on in the soil than we previously thought, and Mellonensures we’re caught o� guard by the end of the story. A shorter piece, the author showcases hertalent for showing just enough, and never telling too much. Short �ction is harder to write thanmost people give credit, and Mellon’s work is an excellent example of an artist who hasmastered their cra� in every way, a writer who is as con�dent as they are talented.

In “Fear of the Darkness,” we’re treated to a spectacular story of a woman’s fear of darkness. Herhusband wants to help her, despite her reluctance toward any type of treatment. At �rst, theparanoia and phobia itself seem irrational, solely driven by childhood fears. But as we reachcloser to the shocking �nale, we learn that her fears may not be so irrational a�er all. In a veryStephen King-esque way, Mellon takes an ordinary concept, that many people experience, and�ips it on its head. Not for one moment is the story hard to follow, or lacking in its ability tokeep the reader focused on every word. By the end of the story, we feel as though something hassnuck up from behind, and Mellon’s delivery ensures the surprise is as rewarding as possible.

“Fountain of Youth” continues with a more weird �ction leaning theme, and is anotherimpressive tale that stands shoulder to shoulder with “Down By the Sea.” Exploring hypnosis,PTSD, and trauma with a Ligottian scope. We �nd ourselves reliving a horrendous event ourprotagonist experienced as a child, over and over during hypnosis, as she tries to force adi�erent outcome. Equal parts Thomas Ligotti and Philip K. Dick, the reader is launched into afrightening setting where memories cannot be trusted, and our heroine faces the possibility oflosing her identity completely. Mellon handles upsetting concepts with a �rm grasp of theirsigni�cance and a meticulous narrative style that never ushers our minds away from the pages.“Fountain of Youth” is easily a highlight in the collection, and one of the most mind-bending,genre-blending tales we’ve read in recent memory.

“Back Seat” is a �ash �ction piece that explores the realms of motherhood, o�en to disturbinge�ect. We’re o�ered a glance into the life of a woman whose instincts have been to run from herlife, and what she le� behind. Guilt swarms like locusts upon crops and we dive into the deepend of madness with her along the way. Mellon knows how to describe any event in a way that isrelatable, and “Back Seat” is a great example of the authors variety and �uidity in any narrativeshe tackles.

In “Renasci,” Mellon brings us a more classic style of horror tale, with a young woman namedMaria as she �nds herself a new mother, as well as the catalyst for something much darker. Inthis story, Michelle Mellon eases back on the breaks and jumps back into mainstream horror,“Renasci” feeling much more atmospherically connected with the earlier works in thecollection. Her prose is tight, each word stringing us along as we tightrope walk across to the�nish line, already feeling saddened that the collection will soon come to an end.

We close the collection with possibly the most haunting tale yet, “Nameless,” as we follow aprotagonist who knows they don’t have long in this world, her recent diagnosis ushering her toget out of town. What follows is an exploration of how the past transgressions of others canremained ingrained deep within the soil and air that we breathe. The heroine sees disturbingentities as she uncovers a past that crosses racial divide and extreme violence. The concept ofpeople being forgotten who have every reason to be remembered. Mellon writes with a voicethat is sensitive, empathetic and haunting. Her words make us question the reality we perceive

as the truth and brings to us the wonder of how much we don’t know, or refuse to learn. Shecombines the supernatural with historical elements, and closes out a daring collection with aheartfelt goodbye in the form of a thought-provoking, deep work of �ction.

There are a few words we will say in conclusion to this review, mainly these seven: “More peopleneed to know about this.” We strongly believe you will feel the same a�er �nishing thecollection, as Mellon writes as con�dently as the Kings and Straubs of horror �ction. Her abilityto execute such a wide variety of styles and to eloquently design each sentence in a way thatprevents us from looking away, is a talent that should never be overlooked. This is easily one ofthe best collections of the year, and we hope you �nd it as entertaining and engrossing as wedid.

Michelle Mellon has been published in several horror and science �ction anthologies. In August2015, she and her husband relocated from San Francisco to Germany, where Ms. Mellon is astay-at-home mom to their cat while she works on a horror story collection and writes a blogabout living overseas.

2 THOUGHTS ON “DOWN BY THE SEA BY MICHELLE MELLON — AGEHENNA POST REVIEW”

damagedskullwriterandreviewer

I wholeheartedly agree with this review! I also had the chance to review this fantasticcollection of stories by Michelle Mellon and was blown away. We are de�nitely lookingat the future of horror writing! The width and very believable nature of the stories mademe a happy reader. HellBound Books has a stable full of strong writers, including CraigStewart, whose novel “Worship Me” is one hell of a ride with unexpected twists andturns. As you point out in this post, horror is tackling important issues, which I thinkmakes the books coming from HellBound doubly good. It is my sincere hope that alongwith yourselves, Aphotic Realm, Unnerving Magazine, Crystal Lake, Corona Books, PintBottle Press-Well, this list could go on forever…What I mean to say is that I think thatindependent presses are the future and I’m amazed at what I’ve seen grow already. Let’skeep this party going!
