    Blog Tour: Camp Death by Jim Ody

    August 30, 2021 /

    Camp Death was my first story by Jim Ody but it certainly won’t be my last.  I have really enjoyed checking out these point horror-type stories making a resurgence.  From the prologue, I was intrigued and a little freaked out.  A cracking storyline with a hard-hitting writing style.  The story follows Richie, a boy still trying to find himself.  Themes of unrequited teenage love, angst, and social awkwardness are relative to the problems of today’s teenagers.  What I particularly enjoyed about this one was just how Jim Ody was able to transport me to the centre of the story, like in the middle of a perfect storm I anticipated the…

    Review: The Goners by L. Stephenson

    July 28, 2021 /

    The Goners was a home run for L. Stephenson.  The cover was ominous, secretive, and forewarned of the threatening shadows that lurked beneath the surface. It’s the kind of story that will become etched into your mind and you can’t put the book down until that last page has been devoured.  Stephenson is a master storyteller that envelops you in atmospheric brilliance and complexity that will literally tie you up in knots.  His brilliance is his reader’s weakness, and The Goners did not disappoint.  This isn’t just another Horror – it is an experience.  Set on the fictional island of Boatmore, we meet a Paramedic Liam and his team, with…

    Halloween Fiend by C.V. Hunt | Book Review

    March 18, 2021 /

    Halloween Fiend is a seriously creepy tale.  The residents of Strang (yup, Strange without the E) know not to go out after sundown.  The streets are eerie and quiet, but that’s not the only thing that is wrong with this town.  They are haunted by an entity that prowls the streets.  The only thing that stops them being killed is the sacrifice of small animals being left on their doorsteps.  Apparently, guinea pigs and the likes are a tasty snack for the creature that is called Halloween.  Once a year however, someone gets the dot – a term for a randomly selected resident to satiate the monster for another year. …

    The Underclass by Dan Weatherer | Review

    March 4, 2021 /

    Right from the start The Underclass grabs you by the throat.  Its spindly fingers reach out, the flesh dripping like a tap that can never be switched off.   It is an intriguing take on the zombie trope; the idea that a sense of consciousness and emotion can remain intact was one that initiated deep thought…is everything that we have seen in Hollywood zombie movies just glorified the creation as brain hungry street walkers?  Imagine dying in some accident only to come to and realise that you are now an undead version of yourself, only your spouse and relations want nothing to do with you?  That is the dilemma that is…

    Generation Z by Peter Meredith | Book Review

    March 1, 2021 /

    Generation Z is a post-apocalyptic Zombie novel that didn’t hit home with me.  It could have been something entirely different if the first half of the novel wasn’t being written solely for the second half.  The cover instantly grabbed me, and it looked like it was right down my alley.  Just from reading the first chapter I could tell that this series was a spin off from a much larger world and it did feel like I was missing out on a lot of the backstory and the world building in general.  Generation Z did the zombie interpretation fantastically.  The imagery and the fear were palpable, and I did find…

    The Night Silver River Run Red by Christine Morgan | Review

    February 20, 2021 /

    Oh, holy hell, The Night Silver River Run Red has been the cataclysmic explosion of me falling into a Western Splatter rabbit hole!   I’ve written in a previous review that women authors are writing the gory and dark with abandon.  It’s in your face, it’s messy and it is completely unapologetic.  Surely some things are worth a whipping, right?  The opportunity to see the marvels of a travelling show is too much to bypass.  Is it worth much more?  Being torn to shreds, witnessing bloodshed beyond all their worst nightmares, a sleepy hollow of a town, ran red the gore as much of their history as anything that came before.…
