Synopsis: 

Step into the mind of the unstable, where nightmares become reality and reality is not always what it seems. Embrace The Darkness is a collection of six terrifying tales, exploring the darker side of human nature and the blurred line between dreams and actuality.

Review: 

This book is a collection of short stories. It's the first piece I have read by this author and it has greatly surprised me. The stories are short but very disturbing, those spine-chilling kind of... each one in a very different way.

Broken minds, impossible nightmares, surrealist situations and, what I liked best, fair and not so fair fates for the characters. Novis happily dances on top of the grave of "The goody wins, the baddy is defeated" typical stamp, carving out his signature: "Do you think you know how this is ending? Hold my beer."

The author owns such a marvelous imagination, every plot is complex and his way of making it fit in a tiny tale is... well, astonishing. He could perfectly build up an entire novel from every one of them. I personally felt sad when I turned the last page, because I really enjoyed this book. In fact, I have already purchased another one by him, "Tunnels", so I can go on.

I sincerely recommend this book to psychological horror fans, here, you have great nightmare material to steal your sleep for several nights. What more could you ask for, as a horror reader?

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...
