    REVIEW: My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones

    December 3, 2021 /

    My Heart is a Chainsaw is the latest release from Stephen Graham Jones and it brought me straight out of a reading funk. It’s a story that projected me back to the golden age of horror and opened up a new area in my brain – the area where all evil lurks, the knowledge about different slashers and killers coming to the fray. Jones should be protected, his novels are full of heartache, angst, and gore, I don’t think he can write a bad novel and I’m quite happy to die on that mountain.  “Horror’s not a symptom, it’s a love affair.” My Heart is a Chainsaw is a love…

    Review: The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix

    July 13, 2021 /

    After loving A Southern Book Groups Guide to Slaying Vampires, I was seriously looking forward to reading The Final Girl Support Group.  The perception and reality, unfortunately, were completely different.  A premise that should have both been intriguing and thrilling, it turned out to be neither.  Something is lacking, be it characters of more substance and grit, racial tropes that don’t belong there and the feminist monologue just didn’t feel genuine and if I’m honest a bit contrived.  The Final Girls were just girls that had a traumatic event happen to them – I wanted to the raw and unfiltered story of their backstories, we only had Lynette’s story, one…

    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…

    Review|The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith

    February 10, 2020 /

    What do you get when you have a sassy librarian, a muse, a hero, Arcanist and a demon walk into Valhalla?  Well a whole heap of action, hilarity and a story that just wont quit.  The story is literally on fire.  The pages sear your fingers and your eyes, it’s too hot to handle.  With the first chapter you just know you are going to fall in love with the sublime writing style and the characterisation that literally smacks you in the genitals – it is that vivid in its fantastical realism.   The story dances in front of your vision threatening to consume itself into your very soul.  I was…

    Review: All The Best Lies by Joanna Schaffhausen

    February 8, 2020 /

    All The Best Lies really injects truth into that old saying – Las Vegas is the city that never sleeps!  Its seeped in sin, a place where we can forget our old selves, our realities are locked in the back of our minds and we can invent a new identity, a new truth.  Well, eventually that truth will rear its ugly head and bite you on your behind.  The characters are complex and brought to life in multi-dimensional 4k reality.  A crime novel should unseat you, leave you questioning the fragility of the human existence but also be blasted with the fear of how easily psyches can break and commit…

    Review: Other Words For Smoke by Sarah Maria Griffin

    September 25, 2019 /

    A Beautiful story with such poetic flow.  A strong and prominent storyteller.  A story that seeps magic, betrayal and wonder straight from the heart of the pages.  The author uses the English language like an artist uses a muse.  It’s well-crafted and unique.  The synopsis jumped out from the screen at me.  I just adore anything magic.  Talking cats, magical creatures behind wallpaper and a mysterious room with neon lights.  I loved everything this book stood for.  The cover is beautiful, and it just screamed for you to read it.  The horror side of the story really took me by surprise, and on the most part it worked very well. …
