“We sing the song that pierces the Universe and bring the world to its knees” An unholy melding of Books of Blood era Clive Barker and the cosmic terrors of H.P. Lovecraft, with a style and vision all her own, Hailey Piper’s The Worm and His Kings is a nightmarish novella that will linger with […]
4.5-Star Review
Veronica Scissors (Reviewed by Shane Staley)
I’ve said this during other reviews, but the short story form is my favorite length of fiction, particularly in the horror genre. The problem with releasing this form as a standalone story in digital, is the fact rise in self-publishing platforms have allowed for the devaluation of all literature. How does an author price a […]
Dark Assembly by Aron Beauregard (Reviewed by Mort Stone)
FEARLESS! Aron Beauregard’s Dark Assembly brings together six short stories of absolute depravity. This is one of those books you should judge by the cover—if it doesn’t appeal to you, you can go back to start and not collect $200…you won’t be able to handle it. And, if you are unfamiliar with this author, there […]
Slaughter Box by Carver Pike (Reviewed by Mort Stone)
Slaughter Box by Carver Pike is a self-published novel, another entry into the Diablo Snuff series. This is my first story by Pike and I am so glad I read it. Even though I haven’t read any of the others in the series, this book works as a stand-alone, but I also want to delve […]
Utopia PR by Adam Bender (Reviewed by Shane Staley)
Adam Bender has successfully delivered a hilarious futuristic vision that mirrors our current political and social upheaval in his latest book, Utopia PR.
The Easton Falls Massacre (Reviewed by Richard Martin)

With a title like The Easton Falls Massacre: Bigfoot’s Revenge and a cover that sports only a bloody footprint and a screaming face, I was expecting something good and lurid with this book and while I was far from disappointed on that front, what I actually got was something even better. Henry […]
Dead Eyes (Reviewed by Richard Martin)
The Breakfast Club meets Nightmare When I review a new book, I like to try and pick two films to compare it to, to give you a ballpark idea of what to expect from it, and to provide a quick and easy reference to gauge whether it’s something you want to read. I don’t do […]
Yellow (Reviewed by Mort Stone)
Yellow: Gone are the days when you could throw out this ‘offensive’ word at somebody… Yip, it went the same route as Yosemite Sam’s “lily-livered, bow-legged varmints” and calling Eric Cartman a “fat f*ck.” Do you remember a time when you could have called a politician an abydocomist, Miley Cyrus a bedswerver, a Kardashian cumberworld, […]
