Book Review: Doguhn – Author Jason Barthelemy
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved fantasy and stories about other worlds and beings/creatures that were not of our realm. So when the first book I was to review was of the fantasy genre, I was more than happy to have the chance to read and review it.
Jason Barthelemy’s “Doguhn” tells the story of a young man by the name of Guy Kruspe who moves to a small town in an attempt… More
Book Review: The Hammer Vault – Author Marcus Hearn
“This remarkable journey through the Hammer vault includes props, annotated script pages, unused poster artwork, production designs, rare promotional material and private correspondence. Hundreds of rare and previously unseen stills help to create a rich souvenir of Hammer’s legacy, from the X certificate classics of the 1950s to the studio’s latest productions.
Written and compiled by the official Hammer Films historian Marcus Hearn, and featuring exclusive contributions from the actors and filmmakers associated with the… More
Book Review: Monster P*rn – Author KJ Moore
Sci-fi author Robert Silverberg defended the novella as “the richest” of all literary forms. With the novella, Silverberg posited, an author can offer more character development and exploration of themes than permitted in a short story while not having to follow the rigid requirements of a full-length novel. Silverberg may be right for the most part, but some authors may benefit from the expansive length of a novel. Among that crowd is up-and-comer KJ Moore.… More
Book Review: Where Darkness Dwells – Author Glen Krisch
Where Darkness Dwells by Glen R. Krisch
(Kindle Edition)
During a hot summer night in 1934, tragedy strikes when two local boys search for the truth behind a local legend. They stumble upon the Underground, a network of uncharted caverns just below the surface of Coal Hollow. Time holds no sway in the Underground. People no longer age and their wounds heal as if by magic. By morning, one boy is murdered,… More
Book Review: The Providence Rider – Author Robert McCammon
The Providence Rider by Robert McCammon
(Subterranean Press)
The Providence Rider is the fourth standalone installment in the extraordinary series of historical thrillers featuring Matthew Corbett, professional problem solver. The narrative begins in the winter of 1703, with Matthew still haunted by his lethal encounter with notorious mass murderer Tyranthus Slaughter.

Book Review: Skullbelly – Author Ronald Malfi
Skullbelly by Ronald Malfi
(DarkFuse)
When three teenagers disappear in the redwood forest of the Pacific northwest, private detective John Jeffers is hired by the families to find out why the local police seem to be covering things up. Jeffers travels to the shore town of Coastal Green to investigate…and learns of a terrible secret in the process…
“Skullbelly” by Ronald Malfi is just about everything a good novella should be. An… More
Book Review: Rise – Author Gareth Woods
By Gareth Wood
Permuted Press
Amidst the wave of post apocalyptic zombie novels currently flooding the market, there are sure to be some real gems. This is just such a book, and is very probably one of the best yet. Wood’s book takes the form of diary entries, which he wrote on the dates they take place as a hobby, without the intention of ever publishing the material for outside… More
Book Review: Dark Highway – Author Dan Thomas
Sometimes life gets bad, then it gets even worse, then you die. Dark highway by Dan Thomas is a story about a man named Tom Turley whose life flows down a road littered with disappointment and grief. A salesman for a furnace company Tom can never seem to catch a break in life though all those motivational tapes he listens to tell him to “Make a miracle happen. You can do it!” “Say… More
Book Review: Attic Clowns – Author Jeremy C.Shipp
When Peter Straub and Jack Ketchum recommend an author you sit up and take notice. Such is the case with Jeremy Shipp. I’ve been thinking how to communicate his unique brand of fiction, commonly labelled ‘bizarro’. And so I’ve decided to use a drug metaphor.
Let’s pretend you’re on your way to the fun-fair and to spice things up, your and your buddies decide to drop a tab of acid. It doesn’t work,… More
Book Review: Lords Of Twilight – Author Greg F. Gifune
by Greg F. Gifune
(DarkFuse)
Strange things are happening in the small, isolated town of Edgar, Maine. Mysterious lights dot the night skies. A local farmer is found dead at the summit of a hill with no evidence as to how his body got there. Livestock is disappearing, only to be discovered later, dead and mutilated with precision-like wounds. And despite the coming of an enormous winter storm, odd… More
Book Review: The Scarecrow and The Madness – Authors Craig Saunders and Robert Essig
Craig Saunders’s The Scarecrow takes the usual creepy scarecrow story and gives it a deliciously violent twist. After the police pay a call to Madge and Bernie Rochette to let them know gypsies would be in town camping in a distant neighbor’s field, the couple finds their life turned upside down. Although Madge wasn’t too worried about the visitors, Bernie makes sure he has his shotgun to protect them from… More
Book Review: Nightingale Songs – Author Simon Strantzas
Nightingale Songs by Simon Strantzas
(Dark Regions Press)
In the dead of night, there are footsteps in the hall
In the dead of night, your past mistakes will haunt you
In the dead of night, you hear a discordant tune
In the dead of night, the nightingale sings
Simon Strantzas, master of the subtle and the bizarre, returns with a dozen strange tales and eerie… More
Book Review: Shining in Crimson (Empire of Blood #1) – Author: Robert S. Wilson
Synopsis:
Set in a dystopian, religiously-demented American Empire, the city of Las Vegas is no longer a city of sin. Now called Necropolis, it is a city that eats sin. The vampires of Necropolis wait patiently for the Empire’s weekly drop off of guilty Penitents; sinners and criminals full of fresh blood.
Hank Evans is one of those Penitents and he would gladly let the vampires take every drop of his blood if it… More
Book Review: The Cursed Man – Author Keith Rommel
by Keith Rommel
A vehicle came to an abrupt stop in the northbound lane, halting traffic in that direction. Alister watched the driver, a young woman, exit her vehicle and train her eyes on him. She crossed over the southbound lane without yielding to traffic and stopped before Alister.
“You’ve been heard,” she said, and she smiled. Her eyes appeared unfocused and her actions seemed controlled “I hope you’re ready for this.”… More
Book Review: The Guardian, Revenant and Dominion – Author Lia Scott Price
The Guardian, Revenant and Dominion
Darkness is what drives them. I never thought I would be saying that about Angels, the ones in Lia Scott Price’s Serial Killer and Vampire Guardian Angels. The tome which I have read contains three stories: The Guardian, Revenant and Dominion. Lia has done something unique and fresh with her stories.
While the vampire phenomenon suffered a fatal blow with the tragedy of Twilight, true vampire fans have felt betrayed… More
Book Review: The Pentacle Pendant – Author Stephen M DeBock
THE PENTACLE PENDANT
By: Stephen M DeBock
Claire Delaney, a stunning blonde vixen that can best be envisioned as a sort of Charlize Theron type is vacationing in the Caribbean. A tourist approaches her in standard tropical manner and the two volley back and forth witty and whimsical flirts. They agree to meet later for a midnight swim and hopefully in Johnny come lately’s mind something more.
The seducer gets more than what… More
Book Review: The Dark Side Magazine– Issue 145
Ghoulish Publishing
Editor- Allan Bryce
UK magazine The Dark Side is going from strength to strength with this new era of its publication, and while some may point out the new layout and design evokes the old Fangoria style, the content sets it apart from a lot of other horror magazines. Despite a dark period prior to its original cancellation in which the title had a great number of… More
Book Review: Verland: The Transformation – Author B.E. Scully
Verland: The Transformation by B.E. Scully
True crime writer Elle Bramasol is drawn into a macabre mystery when incarcerated Hollywood producer Eliot Kingman asks her to write a book about his case. As she delves deeper into Kingman’s murder conviction, she discovers that he possesses a centuries old diary written by an elusive vampire named Verland. Uncovering the transformative secrets held within the diary’s pages, Elle is drawn deeper into both Kingman’s… More
Book Review: Swan Song – Author Robert R.McCammon
A blast from the past this week, with this classic Bram Stoker winning horror tome from the late 80s. I read this on the trusty Kindle. I dread to think how thick the print version is. You could probably hollow it out and live in it. Still, if you’re going to write about the end of the world then you need to do it justice.
The author certainly does that. It’s an epic tale of… More
Book Review: Triumph of the Walking Dead – Edited by James Lowder
By now, the term “The Walking Dead” is far from being an obscurity with a hit series just finishing its 2nd season prepping for more. Editor James Lowder has assembled an interesting cast of writers in effort to put together different viewpoints and thoughts in relation to this zombie-filled series. The book is titled “Triumph of the Walking Dead”.
“Triumph” is divided into separate chapters providing a base for each of the authors essays. The… More
Book Review: Blindspot – Author Michael McBride
by Michael McBride
(Dark Regions Press)
At 2:31 a.m., seismic monitoring stations in China and South Korea detect a magnitude-4 event consistent with a nuclear detonation in the southeastern corner of North Korea, within the Korean Demilitarized Zone. With the threat of full-scale war escalating by the minute, the United Nations Security Council dispatches an elite unit of peacekeepers to cross the border, penetrate the cloud of dust… More
Book Review: Night Fighters – Author Rob Smith
As I read the synopsis for Rob Smith’s Night Fighters, a mild wave of trepidation began to sink in. A battle between Nazis and vampire fighter pilots? It brought to mind campy B-movies lacking in substance and quality writing. I then began to wonder what I was even worrying about. Vampire stories set during WWII have been done well. Dan Simmons wrote of both vampires and Nazis in Carrion Comfort, which is regarded as one… More
Book Review: Grausam Rouge Magazine – Issue 3
Grausam Rouge Issue #3 like its previous release straps on the best of horror with a 3rd follow up featuring stills from the production of “Fright Night (1985)”. This issue packs in more images featuring plenty stills of that huge-mouthed fanger-sporting-vampire chick.
And in case you never quite made the connection, that’s Amanda Bearse who you might remember from “Married with Children” aka Marcy D’Arcy.
All the memories of yesterday are encased in this small… More
Book Review: Mask of Cybele – Author Erik Greenman
Mask of Cybele, the new novel by Erik Greenman, published as an e-book for multiple platforms, is the kind of book that gives self-publishing and POD books a bad name. It is tedious, boring, lacks a narrative drive and conflict, and is nothing short of a self-indulgent mess. It is the type of book that traditional publishers would shun, as it lacks the elements need to make it either a commercial or critical success, and to… More
Book Review: Merkabah Rider | Tales of a High Planes Drifter – Author Edward M. Erdelac
Merkabah Rider: Tales of a High Plains Drifter (Episodes 1-4)

Book Review: Dead Hunger – Author Eric A. Shelman
DEAD HUNGER
Flex Sheridan receives an eerie phone call of unusual proportion. His sister, Jamie Leighton reaches out and quickly unveils the plague that has consumed her. She complains of an infernal, insatiable hunger. Even her husband or two daughters Jesse and Trina couldn’t subdue her carnal behavior. The call is abruptly concluded to disturbing, blood curdling screams.
Distraught, he bolts off like a bat out of hell from his Atlanta home on… More
Book Review: Blood Society – Author Jeffery Thomas
Blood Society
Author: Jeffery Thomas
Publisher: Necro Publications
Price: $17.99
It’s tempting to start off with a trite rant about how defanged and bloodless vampire stories have become, but Blood Society isn’t really about vampires. I don’t just mean in the sense that we never truly know what protagonist Dragna and his ilk are; the monsters simply are not the focus. This is more of a traditional gangster story with the presence… More
Book Review: Beyond the Barriers – Author Timothy Long
BEYOND THE BARRIERS
Author: Timothy Long
Permuted Press
And the zombie fiction juggernaut thunders on with another addition to the genre. This time it’s by Timothy Long, and has the potential to be a better book than many of your run-of-the-mill zombie yarns. Once again we’re stuck with the damn first person narrative though, which is getting more annoying as time goes on.
That aside, Beyond The Barriers has a great deal working in its… More
Book Review: Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 6 – Author Nicholas Knight
Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 6
SYNOPSIS:
A companion piece for season 6 of the television show Supernatural that includes an overview of the season, a detailed episode guide for each episode of the season, character and crew profiles, and some other cool stuff related to the show (including a photo gallery and a look at some of the creatures that the Winchester brothers have faced off against).
REVIEW:
This companion piece,… More
Book Review: The Undead Situation – Author Eloise J. Knapp
Eloise J. Knapp
Permuted Press
I don’t know about you, but I’m really getting tired of genre novels written in the first person. Genre novels, for the most part, work best when the story unfolds via an unaffected third person narrative. The first person narrative is great for getting a sense of character across, but not so great for moving the story along. This is the case here with The Undead… More
