Reader Views Gold Award Winner for Short Stories (Horror)

The seed of evil has been planted …

What will happen when its roots take hold?

Ékleipsis: The Abyss is the second short story collection by the award-winning author.

Tales of depravation and insanity are woven together with unrelenting style and depth, scrutinizing human nature’s degeneration when compromised by tragic, vicious circumstances.

These complex, wretched individuals and the irremediable conditions they are desperate to claw out of—or into—invoke the unfathomable question: What devastation are we truly capable of when left with no way out but down . . . into the obscurity of the abyss?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"It is at times appalling, strange and outright frightening, but Wino's way with character development is outstanding. The display of artistic creativity and character creation really sets "Èkleipsis: The Abyss" apart in the field of short story collections."
― Reader Views

"Tamel really captured that essence of society and the dark side of people. Readers will appreciate the dark undertones of this horror anthology. Ekleipsis: the Abyss will surprise you more that you can imagine."
―Literary Titan

"Wino's writing is vivid, unsettling and filled with brilliant hints that contribute to the exhilaration of its pacing. Ékleipsis: The Abyss is a clever and creative horror offering worth checking out."
―Independent Book Review

"The stories are well-packaged and generally have the feel of watching a syndicated crime drama. Fans of this form of entertainment will likely enjoy these well-crafted stories about everyday people whose lives are shattered by lunatics."
― The US Review of Books

Great collection for someone looking for mild horror
“Ékleipsis: the Abyss” by Tamel Wino was provided to me free, from the author. Thank you! I don’t usually read synopsis, but I do more often if it is a book for review. One line in particular made me really excited to read this collection. ‘“Ékleipsis: The Abyss” is a collection of macabre tales that expose human frailty and depravity.’ stood out to me. I normally do not read synopsis at all because it gives me notions of what the book will be about. In this case, I thought it would be stories full of psychological dread and detestable humans doing despicable things. That is not really the case for this book. Let’s talk about what type of reader I think would enjoy this collection.I usually read and enjoy extreme horror and fast paced, tension filled thrillers, but I also read fun, fluffy books when I don’t feel like doing a lot of thinking or feeling. Others exclusively enjoy fun, fluffy books because they don’t enjoy feeling tension, dread, shock, fear or any of the other strong emotions horror books are associated with. Whatever the case, “Ékleipsis: The Abyss” is a solid recommendation. The stories are simple, yet well written. Are the plots ground breaking? No, not really. You have probably read something similar before. Are the stories filled with gore and graphic descriptions? No, not really. Most of the horror elements (as well as the smut elements) were implied. Do I regret reading it? No, not really. I would feel comfortable recommending this book to someone hesitant about exploring the horror genre or to a horror buff that wants simple, familiar stories they can read on the beach, at the pool, on the bus or somewhere with similar distractions that make it hard to concentrate. I rate this collection 3⭐️ because while I feel it is the perfect collection for some readers, it will be a bit of a let down for those who are expecting a more intense horror or tension filled read.

Such a fascinating and engaging read. The author has done a brilliant job of following up the first collection of short stories with new tales of darkness and desperation that really delve into the darkest parts of human nature. The author’s ability to draw out this theme in each story while maintaining a healthy dose of haunting atmosphere and emotional character development was amazing to read.

The twists and turns the author employs throughout this narrative are what will really wow readers. Each story features a truly gripping and gut-wrenching narrative that shows just how far people who are pushed to the brink are willing to go to fight and claw their way out of a situation. These stories are not the rise and victory of a hero, but instead a reflection of the chilling world we are living in today, and how unexpected meetings and moments in life can take truly drastic turns.

A brilliant, chillingly creative, and entertaining yet haunting read, author Tamel Wino’s “Ékleipsis: the Abyss” is a must-read collection of horror and thriller reads. Perfect for the arrival of the fall/spooky season, readers will be both emotional and enthralled by the author’s creativity and passion that radiates throughout each story.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2021
After reading and enjoying the first anthology of short stories by Who earlier this year, I was happy to delve back into the dark and seedy reality that is Ékleipsis: the Abyss. This second collection of short stories takes readers on a journey into the seemingly bottomless pit of the greed and hunger of humanity. The collection explores various relatable themes and presents a very realistic portrayal of the dark side of human desires. The author explored various dark themes from suicide, kidnap, murder, serial killer to mental deterioration. It was an exciting and intruding collection that had me glued from start to finish. I especially liked how the way the stories ended in a chilling and unresolved way.

As much as I enjoyed all the stories, I have to say that two of the stories really stood out for me, and they were All Day and a Night, about an ex-con exacting revenge on his wardens and giving them a taste of their own medicine, and En Prise, about a young woman on her way to try her hand at a career in music and hitches a ride with a truck driver whose behaviour soon start to suggest a deadly intention. I did find some of the stories predictable at times, but that didn't bother me, because it's the way the stories unfolded and the authenticity of the portrayal that grabbed my focus and kept me entertained.

Another well-written collection from Who. I would highly recommend this book for all those looking for stories that will keep them on the edge of their seats.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book. There was no requirement for me to leave a review. This is my honest opinion of the book.

This book is so expertly written it honestly blew me away! Each short story reads almost like an episode of criminal minds, except only the horrible spooky parts, and I mean that in the best possible way! It is a bit gruesome so it may not be everyone depending on the trigger warnings but for horror lovers this book is perfect! Incredibly well written!

5.0 out of 5 stars recommend this book to those who are horror fans.
Reviewed in Canada on August 3, 2022

Ékleipsis: the Abyss is the second short story collection filled with suspense, horror, and fiction. Since I had read book one, I was expecting the same quality of writing and penmanship. The author definitely did not disappoint.
The premise of the stories was all magnified with much suspense and thrill. The author manages to inspire the imagination with every scene. The storytelling is descriptive and enjoyable to read.

If you are not an avid reader, you will enjoy this book because you can read it in several sittings.

What is particularly like in this style of literature is how the characters were developed into becoming something more. It is apparent that the author house found his niche, and rightfully so. I look forward to reading more from his selection of stories and recommend this book to those who are horror fans.
