SAFE AT HOME

by C. Dennis Moore

There's a lot of excitement when you first move out on your own, especially if it's to move in with the girl you love. And it's a shame when that excitement gets tarnished by having somebody die in your building. And then finding out they didn't die accidentally. And then having someone else die, again on purpose. And then finding out that the police are pretty much convinced that you did it. All in all, Mom and Dad's place can start to look pretty good again...

Praise for SAFE AT HOME

“Writer Moore sets his scene with a deft choice of words. Richly drawn, plausible characters come alive under the skillful pen of this author . . . Safe At Home hooks the reader into the action from the opening lines and carries the reader along on an increasingly perilous ride right to the last paragraph. Spine tingling action, convincing colloquy, pleasantly puzzling apprehension all abound in this narrative wrought with quick-witted adroitness by writer Moore.  5 stars.”

--Molly Martin, Jandy’s Reading Room

“Safe at Home is the most anxious and suspenseful piece of literature I have read this year.  C. Dennis Moore takes our working class reality and threatens it with paranoia and fear.  For a suspenseful ride into the life of the young every-man, "Safe at Home" will definitely satisfy with entertainment and fill you with dread.”

--Mike Purfield, author of Dirty Boots and Stereo Sanctity

“Sherman, set the way-back machine.  C. Dennis Moore’s SAFE AT HOME transports you twenty years into the past and surrounds you with comfortable memories before pummeling you with real-life horror.  Check the locks on your doors before reading; you’ll check them again afterwards.”

--M. Stephen Lukac, author of Oogie Boogie Central

“C. Dennis Moore shows us that no matter how hard we try to be safe and live a normal life in a normal world, there is always that one chaotic element that can send your otherwise mundane existence into a tailspin.  SAFE AT HOME is a quiet, subtle, terrifying snapshot of urban living and how your world can be turned inside out in a blink of an eye.”

--David G. Barnett, publisher, Necro Publications

“For fans of suspense, C. Dennis Moore's claustrophobic Safe At Home is a safe bet . . . The first-person narrative has a straightforward, pulp-fiction flavor, with a heavy emphasis on dialog (one of Moore's strengths). It's the sort of writing that's free of pretense and genuinely appealing.”

--William Jones, ePinions.com

“A short tale of suspense, Safe at Home offers a look into the dangers of leaving your parents' home and setting up housekeeping on your own. You never know who your neighbors will be or what might happen.

            “Author C. Dennis Moore paints a good picture of the problems facing a young couple moving into their first apartment. Like them, reader, beware of doors that don't lock.”

--Anne K. Edward, eBook Reviews Weekly

"With ‘Safe At Home’, C. Dennis Moore's taut narrative and fine-tuned use of dramatic tension force the reader to look at his/her own haven and wonder what might be lurking in the basement. Smart, sexy and witty as hell with some razor-edged suspense thrown in to keep you on edge throughout, this novella marks the rise of one of the suspense genres best kept secrets."

--Kealan Patrick Burke, author of Ravenous Ghosts, editor of Taverns of the Dead and Quietly Now

“Looking back, it seems as if some of the best stories, some of the most engaging writing, draws from the important experiences of our younger years. Those stories draw you in, they put you back in that frame of mind like magical time machines, and you relive that moment of your childhood or early adulthood right along with the characters in the stories. ‘Safe at Home’ is an achievement on that scale.”

--Christopher Fulbright, author of Sometimes Women Are So Cold and Of Wolf and Man
