    Secret Santa by Andrew Shaffer | Review

    January 15, 2021 /

    Secret Santa was a mixed bag.  A run of bad luck has hit Lussi Myer.  She’s behind in her share of the rent, she’s lost her beloved editor role in a publishing house and she needs to find something fast!  As you delve into this kind of dark comedy horror you realise that a lot of things aren’t as they seem.  She lands the position of Senior Editor in the prominent publishing house of Blackwood-Patterson.  Well, of course there is the small matter of her interview going horrendously and the boss taking a heart attack right in front of her.  When she arrives at the hospital to visit him, she…

    The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty | Review

    January 4, 2021 /

    The Exorcist.  Those two words just strike fear into any adult that is of a particular age.  Think about those words and scenes will crash into your head.  Visions of a sweet and innocent little girl called Regan.  Visions that will soon be replaced by those of a demon infested and quickly diminishing girl.  Now quickly I realised that I was going to be scared more by the book than by the movie.  I’ve seen the movie and its probably the generation I’ve grown up in but, I have seen far worse.  The Saw Franchise or Hostel to name but a few.   The Exorcist excels at atmosphere.  The way the…

    Reaper: A Horror Novella by Jonathon Pongratz | Review

    September 13, 2020 /

    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…

    Crossroads by Laurel Hightower | Review

    August 10, 2020 /

    Crossroads…a fork in the road, a decision to be made, life taking a turn and lives altered.  Laurel Hightower has taken a certainty in life, death and given it a complex meaning, a burden, a floating through life trying to grasp the ending but never holding onto that tangible point.  Chris is existing through life after the death of her only son.  He is taken in the most tragic circumstances well before his time, a car crash.  Greif is crushing her, minute by minute, hour by hour.  A natural reaction to an unnatural event, but what would you do to have them back? Look at the cover – the desolation,…

    Blog Tour: Until Summer Comes Around by Glenn Rolfe

    May 22, 2020 /

    Don’t you just love a sweet and innocent coming of age story?  Yeah, neither do I.  If you love your coming of age stories to be full of blood, guts, and a creeping dread, then absolutely pick up Until Summer Comes Round.  It blasts you with those feel good eighties summer vibes – the feeling that summer would never end.  It just has that bonus of vampires and the spilling of blood.  There is so much packed into this novel written by the immensely talented Glenn Rolfe.  Every word has been deliberately chosen and they come to life with such a sinister prevalence that you feel the need to look…

    The Wise Friend is a lesson in the age-old conundrum- should you believe everything you read?  How much do you know the people posing as your friends?  Are there ulterior motives?  The storyline chills your spine with liquid nitrogen.  It makes you stiffen up, look over your shoulder and take stock all at the same time.  its haunting and disturbing with its threatening edge that has you wandering down an unused path that can only lead to devastation.  It is an exquisite piece of literature with its use of macabre to transport the reader to another world, one with twists and an undeniable edge that just talked to you instantly. …
