Playback: Light and Shadow (Short Story) – Elizabeth Massie


In this terrifying original novella, Bram Stoker Award–winning author Elizabeth Massie provides a chilling prequel to the forthcoming horror movie  Playback, starring Christian Slater, Alessandra Torresani, and Toby Hemingway, in which a group of high-school students accidentally awakens an evil that possesses its victims through video.

But the dark curse dates back to turn-of-the-century New York, and begins with a grudge surrounding the birth of film itself. While fooling around with the movie camera invented by his murdered grandfather, a rich young playboy is overcome with bloodlust—and sets out to kill one of history’s most beloved figures.

In Playback: Light and Shadow, heads snap and cameras roll, giving a whole new meaning to the term “slasher film.” – (Amazon)



Elizabeth Massie’s short story will definitely have the readers anticipating the release of the movie Playback starring Christian Slater. The writing style of this author is very descriptive and terrifying.. I wish this short story was longer (no pun intended)..  You will never be able to look at a video camera the same way after reading this short story.




4 out of 5 stars
