Synopsis: 

A truth more depraved, horrifying, and deadly than anyone could have ever imagined... 

June, 2016, and pretty women are disappearing again. Just like they have been from the pristine Little Madrone River Valley every summer solstice day for the past hundred years.

It all started in 1917, when blasting for the hydroelectric powerplant at the headwaters of the river, known by the locals as the Boneyard, uncovered a bizarre cliff of glittering iridescent rare earth metals. Old timers believe there exists some sort of cosmic linkage between the disappearances and the cliff. Others suspect they’re the work of a crazed, multi-generational cult of solstice-worshipping serial killers.

The police deny the disappearances are connected. They attribute them to the scourges of modern life: drug addiction, broken families, prostitution, and the shiftings of an increasingly rootless and transient society. Twenty-six women, among them heiress Meredith, horror blogger Cherise, single mother Wendy, and waitress Rebecca, are about to discover the truth. A truth more depraved, horrifying, and deadly than anyone could have ever imagined...

Review: 

"The Boneyard Chronicles" by Cyprian Wyrmwood is one the most impressive books I have read. In a good way, a very good way.

 

**Warning** This book contains very sensitive and strong adult content. 

And how amazing is that...

When I took the book, I didn't expect what I found. The beginning is amazing, a flash introduction to what you're going to be drowned by, followed by a horror tale you won't be able to put down. The story grows in suspense and "nightmare" as Wyrmwood whispers the events in the bottom of your mind.
The author tricks you, makes you think you're diving in one dimension but it's all just... an illusion. This book... soaks you in a grey/spine-chilling/terrifying feeling you can't escape from.

He plays with two kinds of fears: the fear of the paranormal (where all the science fiction thread is developed) and the fear of psychopathic minds, what they're able to do, and... why not you?

Besides this, man, this book is extreme. Honestly, if you're easily offended, choose another one. This author pushes your limits, has no boundaries. Every single controversial scene is exposed in this piece. It will disturb you, it will curl your stomach and, some of the pages, you will read them trying to close your eyes. But you can't. Because you want to read it. And you know it.

Wyrmwood takes personal care of every character, creating a spectrum of crossed emotions between them that gives birth to a sensorial web, which makes you feel paranoid. He knows what he's doing at every line, every word.

A very, very special book. Sci-fi soaked in extreme horror scenes. I'm positive, science fiction lovers will fall in love with this book, and horror fans will be pleased and satisfied with all the blood and nightmarish material the author offers... for our delight.

This is a book to keep. A book to treasure. For us, extreme horror lovers, it's not easy to find material which contents you. Wyrmwood, does.

Grab it, savour it, enjoy it, let it possess you.

OTHER BOOK REVIEWS

loop

koji suzuki

It is the third chapter of the series of Japanese novels by the same author, which began with "Ring" in 1991 and continued with "Spiral" in 1995 and so far the only one not to have had a film adaptation, for this reason it seems completely detached from the films produced, in fact it is the denial of everything that happened in the first two books... It completely overturns the story with twists never seen before.  Perhaps one could argue that it is not a horror story because it is not scary, but it still takes you from start to finish and continues to surprise. Ultimately, "Loop" attempts to provide a scientific... Read More

House of Leaves

Mark Z. Danielewski

One of the most successful examples of "ergodic" literature, that is, that literature that requires a greater effort from the reader and that allows the writer to intervene graphically on the text with words in different colors, mixed fonts, illustrations and more. This complex novel, perhaps dispersive and a bit long-winded, is a unique work of its kind, a narrative mosaic balanced between suspense and a dreamlike journey into the subconscious, dark and disturbing... it has become a cult, 20 years after its first publication in the United States, also thanks to the praise given to it by Stephen King. It is certainly not... Read More

La psichiatra

Wulf Dorn

An original story that involves and flows quickly. The characters are captivating, especially that of the protagonist, who immediately intrigues. The plot is full of many aspects: Fear, phobias, both physical and psychological violence, child abuse and the hunt for the BLACK MAN... Disturbing and with an unexpected ending.

Teddy

Jason Rekulak

"Teddy" by Jason Rekulak is a psychological thriller that stands out for its originality and a smooth reading (416 pages) that never gets boring, the charm of this story probably also lies in the funny and scary drawings that accompany it. The cover itself, with a childish drawing of a house and two stylized figures, already announces the disturbing atmosphere of the book. Stephen King also liked it, calling it "the most original and disturbing thriller of the year". In short, an interesting novel but a little simple, probably designed for a teenage audience and no more.

Marc W. Johnson

Writing this review has taken me a couple of days because it has several subjects I'd like to highlight. It's been difficult though, to put my mind together, because I can't reveal most of the scenes that will get you glue-stuck to the book. I couldn't leave it, and when someone talked to me I got upset because they were interrupting my connection with the story. Well, that said. Marc W Johnson is in my list of "Writers Extraordinaire". He is a screenplay writer, and you're going to find that influence on the book. Is it a bad thing? Hell, no. The writing is agile, fresh, always keeping you anxious to find out what'... Read More

Crystal Bones and Gossamer Wings

Crystal Bones and Gossamer Wings

Dona Fox

This piece is a novella by Dona Fox and the length has allowed her to elaborate her writing deeply on her already established study of the human psyche —and its insanity. This time, many characters guide you through this labyrinth. The plot is full of twists and turns which will make you reconsider constantly what you have comprehended so far. The protagonist expresses herself in first person, habitual Fox's tool to show the reader in a more intense way the feelings and madness of that mind. She is a combination, or so it seems, of devotion, conformity, complete surrender and... love? to her father and all the... Read More

Netted: The Beginning (The Silent Red Room Saga Book...

KT Rose

This is the first work I read from KT Rose and I'm greatly surprised. She takes basic elements such as blind dates with a psychopath, and combines it with de danger of the dark side of the internet, the consequences of a deeply broken family, a girl with a court of ghosts on her shoulders, a man in grief, a cult leader and an audience so hungry for —blood. What could possibly go wrong? The author sews all together and leaves nothing behind. Characters are very realistic, antiheroes trying to survive life. Lots of blood, fight, betrayal. I like how she moulds the characters to have a deep psychology factor, so they... Read More

And Hell Followed

Death's Head Press

Anthologies are not always an easy read. Very often they are not exactly what you are expecting, or the selection of stories doesn't amaze you. Well, And Hell Followed doesn't have this problem at all. Let's break it down: All the stories are good and enjoyable, they could all perfectly be standalone pieces preceding an entire novel. Some of them are more serious and really mess with your mind, making you wonder and ask questions. You want more. Others are funny (in a very macabre way, of course) and some of them give you a very different vision of what a "hell on Earth" could become. It's a book that, depending... Read More

Three Days in Ashford

TY Tracey

Well, wow. I think this is the review that, so far, has taken me the longest to write. There are so many things to say about this book. I'll start making clear that I had never heard of TY Tracey until I purchased this book, well, this absolutely MUST change to future readers. The complexity and layers conforming this book make very difficult for me to "summarise" why I loved it, several times. I think the best way for me to express is to describe, point by point, WHY it is different and to me, a must-read. One, of course, the writing. Tracey develops several "description scenes" along the book, but they are... Read More

Clock's Watch

Clock's Watch

Michael Reyes

"Clock's Watch" is a very interesting horror collection. The idea of a guardian between two worlds, human and evil, perhaps has been used before, but not in this way. Our protagonist is one and only. There are two things I especially liked in this book: For starters, the great investigation and research about sorcery and demonology. Every story has those elements. The chants or spells Clock pours over the demons as well as the method to hunt them bring a dose of realism that keeps you interested, not only in the story, but in the occult content. Also, I love so much the protagonist. Hero or antihero? I couldn't... Read More
