Book Review: Blood War – Author Dylan J. Morgan

BLOOD WAR

The novel Blood War by Dylan J. Morgan is the second novel I have read by this up and coming author (Hosts was the first and it was excellent). First off I must say that Dylan J. Morgan has an excellent talent for writing and actually has a wonderful grasp on the English language, which is hard to find in today’s “slang-driven” society. His word choices are descriptive as well as easy to… More

Book Review: Dark Things – Edited by Jessy Marie Roberts

DARK THINGS

First off I have to admit that I am a big fan of horror anthologies so when I get one sent to me I get really stoked. Dark Things, edited by Jessy Marie Roberts, was no exception. This compilation of stories runs the gambit from the supernatural to the sadistic and back again. The fact that each story had something different made it all the more interesting.

Book Review: The Fall – Author Guillermo Del Toro

Vampires have become the hot commodity on the market but what they’ve been turned into is a far cry from those of the past. They are now hunky and sparkly and everything that the horrifying Nosferatu was not. In this vampire dominated artistic culture it is hard to ferret out the good from the lousy. Fortunately, I was given the opportunity to read the second novel in an apocalyptic vampire trilogy, The Fall by Guillermo… More

Book Review: Hosts – Author Dylan J Morgan

Dylan J Morgan’s Hosts is the novel that, once I picked it up, I couldn’t put it down. It’s an exciting, brutal, gory, and an even somewhat romantic story. I know that all of these adjectives don’t normally go together to describe one singular thing but this book is different. I was gripped with curiosity and intrigue as I plowed through the pages of this thriller/sci-fi-esque novel.

This novel is set in the middle of… More
