Possessions, Porcupines, Cthulhu cultists, drug-fuelled horror conventions, and some unexpectedly risqué shenanigans at Santa’s Workshop make up just a few of the stories in Bram Stoker award-winning author Lucy A. Snyder’s latest festive collection of horror shorts. The Halloween Season contains fourteen stories ranging from horror and sci-fi to comedy and urban fantasy, many of […]
3.5-Star Review
Hexis (Reviewed by Richard Martin)
I usually start off my reviews with a brief blurb of the book to give readers an idea of what the story is about. Hexis is a book that is nigh on impossible to blurb while simultaneously giving the reader an idea of what to expect, as it doesn’t have a story in the traditional […]
There Goes Pretty by C.C. Adams (Reviewed by Shane Staley)
Dark Minds Press and author C.C. Adams latest release is an intriguing short read. The story follows newlyweds Dennis and Olivia as they begin their seemingly picture-perfect life together. But sometimes outside forces can disintegrate even the best relationships.
Seth (Reviewed by Richard Martin)
The Omen meets Needful Things I’m a sucker for a good horror story where the main protagonists are children. I try to read any and all ‘coming of age’ horror books that I can get my hands on. I think the appeal to me is how you get a different perspective because kids have a […]
The Bone Factory (Reviewed by Stone & Martin)
The Mort Stone Review What an interesting story this turned out to be! This story by Yolanda Sfetsos takes you into a very corrupt world in a city called Lorn. Max Patella is a P.I. who gets called in by the police when there are cases they don’t want to handle themselves. With the discovery […]
Arterial Bloom (Reviewed by Richard Martin)
Arterial Bloom, the Mercedes M. Yardley edited anthology out now from Crystal Lake Publishing, is something of an anomaly as modern anthologies go, as it doesn’t adhere to any particular theme or sub-genre, and has no real glue to hold these stories together other than Yardley herself. This could have resulted in anything from a […]
The Abnegation Society (Reviewed by Shane Staley)
The first tale in Tom G.H. Adams’ new series Tales from the Abyssal Black introduced readers to an otherworldly library of stories forged from souls. The lead character in this series is a seeker, an apprentice, who now is tasked with the responsibility of reading stories of each soul’s passing collected in this library. And […]
Cirque Berserk (Reviewed by Mort Stone)
We find ourselves in Shadows Creek, Florida. In 1989 the local carnival, Cirque Berserk, had a massacre. A group of teens killed a bunch of people and then disappeared, never to be heard from again—though legend has it they are still there, biding their time until anyone stupid enough to check it out will meet […]
The Wind in My Heart by Douglas Wynne (Reviewed by Richard Martin)
Raymond Chandler Noir with a Supernatural Twist Newly released by Crystal Lake Publishing is Douglas Wynne’s latest novella, The Wind in My Heart, a hardboiled detective crime noir story, steeped heavily in Tibetan Buddhism and with a hint of the supernatural. In his almost ten-year career as a writer, Wynne has straddled a variety of […]
Dead Daughters (Reviewed by Richard Martin)
Thriller and Mystery books aren’t typically my cup of tea. I usually enjoy them well enough, but the horror fanatic in me can’t help but think “Not bad, needed more flesh-eating monsters.” When Tim Meyer, writer of dark supernatural books like Switch House and ’80s style gorefest Kill Hill Carnage releases a Thriller, then I […]
