DRACULAS – Blake Crouch, Jack Kilborn, Jeff Strand, & F. Paul Wilson

I’m often on the look-out for a good horror novel to read, and when I saw this, with a couple of author names I recognized, I thought this would be a good read and satisfy my hunger for something dark. But I was wrong. The horror genre can come in different forms and my least Continue reading

THE YOUNGER GODS – Michael R. Underwood

Jacob Greene is a child of cultists – extremists with a deep connection to powerful gods. To stay in good favor and receive great powers from these gods Jacob’s family (both biological family and cult group family) must occasion a sacrifice now then. Jacob doesn’t seem to question this (it’s how he’s been raised, after Continue reading

BASKETFUL OF HEADS – graphic novel

I haven’t read very many graphic novels lately, but when I saw this available for review, I was quick to get a copy. I think Joe Hill is one of the best writers of horror/dark fiction writing today. June Branch is visiting her boyfriend, Liam, during the last weekend of the summer. Liam is just Continue reading

ACROSS THE GREEN GRASS FIELDS – Seanan McGuire

It’s not a secret that I’m a tremendous fan of Seanan McGuire’s work and no matter what kind of fantasy fiction you might like to read, McGuire probably writes it … and very well. Her Wayward Children series came on the scene in 2016 and everyone of them has been a really great read. And Continue reading

THE KINGDOM OF THE GODS – graphic novel

I requested this book because it looked interesting. I do occasionally enjoy a graphic novel, and lately I’ve wanted graphic novels that are not the ‘norm.’ I had no idea that this was a Netflix series. This book is two stories. They don’t don’t really seem to be related – not the same characters, not Continue reading

ROBERT KIRKMAN’S THE WALKING DEAD: TYPHOON – Wesley Chu

Honestly … the main reason I wanted to read this was not so much because it’s a “Walking Dead” novel, but because it’s by Wesley Chu. I’ll read just about anything by Chu (though I’d prefer to read more in the Time Salvager or Io series’). China has been hit particularly hard by the outbreak Continue reading

THE ARMAGEDDON CHORD – Jeremy Wagner

Meet Kirk Vaisto, a heavy metal rock guitarist. He is often called “The God of Guitar” by his fans and the journalists who write about music. Meet Egyptologist, Helmut Hartkopff. Helmut has been searching for a specific artifact, The Song of Sethis, which, when used properly, will release Sethis (sometimes better known as “Satan”) from Continue reading

DRACUL – Dacre Stoker & J. D. Barker

In this prequel to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, co-written by Bram Stoker’s great-grand-nephew, Dacre Stoker, and J.D. Barker, the authors not only give us a little background on Dracula the vampire, but they make Bram Stoker a major character along the way. And according to the advertising copy, this is “inspired by notes and texts left Continue reading

DEVOLUTION – Max Brooks

Can Max Brooks, author of the bestseller World War Z, hit it big again? Can he step away from the zombie apocalypse and terrorize us with another mythological/supernatural(?) creature – one that we haven’t read much about? Yeah, he probably can. A group of environmentalists move in to a small, isolated community (called ‘Greenloop’) in Continue reading

THEY KILL – Tim Waggoner

It is the one-year anniversary of the accident in which Jeffrey, Sierra Sowell’s brother, was killed and now a mysterious man known as Corliss, has resurrected Jeffrey. But Corliss doesn’t stop there. He transforms a few other people in town who have connections to Sierra – cursing them with an emphasis on their own vices. Continue reading

THE BEAST OF NIGHTFALL LODGE – S.A. Sidor

Rom Hardy is an explorer. An Egyptologist by profession, he is nearly always willing to investigate something unusual. When he is contacted by an old friend, a bounty-hunter by the name of Rex McTroy, Rom and his associates soon find themselves in the mountains of New Mexico tracking a savage beast that has been killing Continue reading

WE SOLD OUR SOULS – Grady Hendrix

In the 1990’s the band Dürt Würk, a heavy metal band, looked like it was going to sky-rocket to success until the lead singer, Terry Hunt, left the band for a solo career, where he achieved tremendous success as Koffin. His bandmates have had nothing but misery and rotten luck since he left, despite their Continue reading
