author: 
Howard Carlyle

Synopsis: 

Four different stories of horror, all with deadly outcomes. How would you handle a bullying co-worker? Brian did it perfectly!
What if a deadly virus left you as the last man standing... What would you do?
Would you make a deal with the devil to get everything you wanted... Martin had the chance and took it with horrific consequences.
How far would you go for your favorite dish of homemade soup... Jed went that one step further than normal.

Review: 

Allow me to talk a bit about my thoughts on Howard Carlyle. This book is not the first work I read by him since I follow his blogs "The Meyerstown Secret" and "Gloriously Gory". He is an emerging author, with an amazing basis of imagination and twisted influences in his writing, who is working full engine to bring his words to readers.

His ideas are intense. Quick stories, flash characters and little winks at the reader form a little collection of four stories, very different between them, all of them tied up with his black irony which has no mercy or compassion for the redeemed.

"Death, Infection, The Devil... and Jed" is the prelude for more to come, an introduction of his tales, each of them perfectly able to be taken to another level and turned into a full novel. This is a bit of the magic about Carlyle, he leaves you wondering what's behind those characters and how will they reappear in future.

This book is a good piece to enjoy an afternoon of rain and coffee. A quick read, a combination of different horror scenarios, from apocalypse to revenge and insanity. A creepy tale to make you shiver when you're alone at home. I know there's more to come since Carlyle's inventiveness shines throughout the pages. This is just a little taste to awake your curiosity as well as more than one nightmare tonight...

Yeti Yearning

Yeti Yearning

Essel Pratt

"Yeti Yearning" by Essel Pratt is a very, very special book. I don't even dare to review it as any other regular title. What can you expect when you have this book in your hands? We are not used to the concept of "yeti", and belonging to Project 26 (which is an amazing terror book collection project from J. Ellington Ashton Press), you ask yourself "what is this?". I need to start from the point that Pratt's writing is very pleasurable to read, which makes his books sincerely gratifying to hold. He brings a sugary tone to threads, in a way that he exposes a bloody scene giving you the sensation of watching ballet... Read More

Haunted House Harbor

Haunted House Harbor

Roma Gray

Haunted House Harbor" by Roma Gray is a terror book (part of Project 26, book 8) about the "perfect Apocalypse". But no definition could ever describe the amazing work Gray brings to us. The plot is complex, many characters are introduced at the same time, suffering a worldwide terrorist attack (a very creative one, I must say) each one of them, in their way. They find (or are they forced to find...?) shelter in a place which hosts its own evil entities. You’ll still have to deal with what already lives in this town, and I think you will discover that it is always hungry.” With a cackling laugh, she added: “Welcome... Read More

Knock and You Will See Me

Knock and You Will See Me

Andrew Cull

"Knock and You Will See Me" by Andrew Cull is-a-terror-book. What do I mean? You better have a light on when you read it.  A loving parent protecting her children from something she cannot even understand.  A ghostly story, taking the reader to shivers. While you hold this book, you check your back very often.  Cull's writing is very easy to drown into. His words are soft and warm, you don't even realize you're letting the fear into your room.  A strong loving family and a deep dark memory of the dead tie the thread. The link is broken when no one believes her word and how she and her kids... Read More

Joshua's Folly (The Sacred Blade of Profanity series Book II)

Joshua's Folly (The Sacred Blade of Profanity...

Toneye Eyenot

"Joshua's Folly" by Toneye Eyenot is the second book of the dark-fantasy series "The Sacred Blade of Profanity." The first one, "The Scarlett Curse" is an amazing little novella where the main characters and background are introduced. This book reveals the thread in flashes, sewing all the stories from the first title together. What seemed to be the centre of the plot, is not. Who you thought to be the hunter, turns into prey. Everything makes sense for the reader, but all doors remain open for THAT feeling telling you nothing will stay like this for long. Many important characters run parallel, connected little...
