    The Institute by Stephen King | Review

    January 3, 2021 /

    The Institute, much like Sleeping Beauties felt like a trip back in time by Mr King.  He’s back to that standard that his fans love.  I’ve owned this book for over a year now and only just got the courage to pick it up.  I am a mega King fan and hoped and prayed that this would be everything that I wanted and guess what the main man pulled it straight out of left field.  The dynamics, the characterisation and the environment had me fist bumping the air…because you know, no-one around me likes reading and pandemic…gah! One thing you can almost bet your bottom dollar on is that King…

    Psychological Thriller

    Mirrorland by Carole Johnstone | ARC Review

    December 31, 2020 /

    Mirrorland…first that cover told me about all the blows it would deliver.  It’s dark, it’s intimidating and the abyss you’re staring at?  Yeah, it’s going to pull you all the way under.  Not going to lie, I always wished I had a sister, but a twin sister? Shouldn’t that just come with a health warning, plain and simple?  Your sense of identity is shrouded around being part of a pair.  Mothers of twins the world over tend to dress them the same, do their hair the same and treat them the same.  How to you break free when your treated as half of a whole?  The first chapter of Mirrorland…

    Horror Short Story Collection

    The Lament of the Silver Badger by Oli Jacobs | Review

    December 29, 2020 /

    The Lament of the Silver Badger is a collection of horror short stories by Oli Jacobs.  Once again, the author has knocked it out of the mother-fucking park!  I’ve read more than a few short story collections of late and can hand on heart say that this is the best one I’ve read to date.  Let me just clarify my feelings and thoughts during my read of this awesome collection. WHAT THE HELL? WHAT DID I JUST READ? IT’S COMING, ITS TOTALLY COMING NO WAY… THAT CAN’T BE THE END!! THIS IS AWESOME These were my thoughts while reading Oli Jacob’s highly imaginative short story collection.  You know you’ve found…

    Survivor Song by Paul Tremblay | Review

    December 28, 2020 /

    Well hold the mother-fucking door!  Allow me to go on record and declare that there will never be a better time to read Paul Tremblay’s Survivor Song than 2020, and I managed it by the arse of my pants!  Tremblay is a decorated horror novelist that I am ashamed to say have never read, until now.  The guy has a huge responsibility on his shoulders, but he is still swimming, still telling stories that stay with the reader.  This story is going to be one that I will remember and hold in regard to the year 2020.  I’m waffling (not unlike the victims of the super rabies that have taken…

    The Station 17 Chronicles by Oli Jacobs | Review

    December 26, 2020 /

    Another year is drawing a close and whilst the times we are living in Is unknown and uncertain, one thing has become abundantly clear; we can rely on books to get us through.  2020 has brought me some new authors, especially ones that publish independently.  The Station 17 Chronicles is the second book I have read and reviewed by Oli Jacobs and I’m stunned once again by his sharp wit, well-structured prose, and fantastical storylines.  He has become a must-read author and I will go on to read his back catalogue.  He was able to shock me and make my head implode with his stonker novel, Wilthaven.  The Station 17…

    To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini |Review

    December 23, 2020 /

    To Sleep in a Sea of Stars more accurately to sleep through the damn book.  This was nothing like I had been expecting.  It didn’t hold my attention and very much felt like a plot that is seen through -out the genre but without any aspect of originality.  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but this nearly drove me to tears.  The characterisation suffered for the plot and it was hugely disappointing.  Although there is action within the first few chapters; it just lacked any punch or emotion, even at this point I wasn’t sure if I should plough forward.  To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is very…
