Interview With E.F. Schraeder, Author of Liar

13 Luckless Tales (Reviewed by Mort Stone)
13 Luckless Tales by Patrick Kill is my first experience with this author. The stories are all short and meant to be humorous, for the most part. And, I must give this to him: his imagination is impressive. Of the thirteen tales, the story that stood out for me most was “The Smoker”, which was […]

Pizza Face (Reviewed by Mort Stone)
Aron Beauregard’s Pizza Face is a compilation of five horror stories which are gentler than his usual splatter-punk. Don’t get me wrong, it just means he goes from Carolina Reaper to Bhut Jolokia… Have I lost you with that statement? Okay, people, I’m only gonna explain this once, so pay attention. When it comes to […]
Dust (Reviewed by Richard Martin)
Book three in Death’s Head Press’s Splatter Western line takes the series in a fun new direction, bringing some cosmic horror to the wild west. It’s an unusual but inspired melding of two seemingly disparate genres that sets Dust apart from what has come before (and after) it. James Dee is looking for the town […]
