Leash and Other Horror Stories by Brett Schumacher | Review
When I spotted Leash and Other Horror Stories up for grabs for review, I could have chewed their hand off! I am a subscriber to Brett’s awesome YouTube channel and I just couldn’t wait to get my grubby mitts on this seriously creepy horror anthology. This collection of deviously good stories warrants the shouting that I’m about to do! His narrative style is both mind-blowing and wickedly disturbing in equal measures and it immediately transports you into the depths of his orchestrated shadows – it’s terrifying and bone chilling. I’m a huge fan and I gobbled this up just as fast as I would a cake! Leash had a paradoxical…

Reaper: A Horror Novella by Jonathon Pongratz | Review
Reaper was one of those reads that will fester upon the psyche. It will allow you to get on with everyday things but in the dead of night it will re-emerge and make you realise that sleep will be futile. Right from the start we can feel the deep-seated fear that everything is not as it seems. Halloween – a breeding ground for all that is unnatural and terrifying. A long-awaited opportunity to take care of a little sister without their overbearing parents. One should be careful what you wish for. I’m always intrigued when reading POV’s from a teenage viewpoint. They are not quite matured for the big bad…

Diabolica Britannica: A Dark Isles Horror Compendium by various authors
How the hell do I write this review? Diabolica Britannica is quite frankly everything that is good about the horror fiction genre neatly compacted in a kick ass anthology. The genre is producing some of the best fiction out there at the moment and it’s getting harder to get scared and shocked but this awesome work of art packs a swift punch to jugular. A Dark Isles Compendium instantly took me to the freezing and rugged coastline of the Scottish highlands, the brutal streets of London and the isolating manor houses watching your every move, so it can make theirs! As much as I love the genre, sometimes, the titles…

Wilthaven By Oli Jacobs| Review
Wilthaven, what a fucking ride you were! This book encapsulates everything that indie published can offer. Would I have heard of it if I weren’t approached to review? No. Did I enjoy the tale told, absofuckinglutely? The title of the book gives nothing away – a world with rolling hills, luscious green grass, stunning lakes and an evil that rules over them all. Not exactly a utopia but you can’t deny that you aren’t intrigued. A deep and compelling story with writing as sharp as a tack. With a synopsis that pulls you in like a long-awaited fish, my kindle was gripped beyond an inch of its life. “The World…

Blog Tour| A King’s Bargain (Legend of Tal) By J.D.L. Rosell
I’m honoured to be apart of the blog tour for A King’s Bargain organised by the lovely ladies at Storytellers on tour. They are passionate about Indie Fantasy and it shows in their hard work at putting these amazing tours together. A King’s Bargain immediately gave me that warm and fuzzy feeling that I have so far only been awarded from very few Epic Fantasy stories. The world building was deep and complex and the introduction to the world was like falling through a portal and being immersed in the magical world first-hand. It is a fantastical piece of fiction that would be a perfect introduction to the immersive land…

Blog Tour: Wizard Ring by Clare Blanchard
Wizard Ring is a tale of a magical ring. It is steeped in mystery and intrigue. It was made in Prague and it has the ability to influence events and people around it. Unfortunately, these events aren’t always positive. What would you do if you were given the opportunity to harness a rings power to change events or people’s actions? Would you grab it with both hands or would you turn it down, knowing that it’s power would likely lead to some pretty dire consequences. Navigating the waters of this decision shouldn’t be taken lightly. This is the plight that Sylvia, our main character is faced with. What will the…
