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.

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

The Overleden: Hell on Earth

The Overleden: Hell on Earth

Terence Simmons

This novel is a complex lattice with sub-stories traversed between them, creating a magnificent performance worth becoming a movie. Or two, I must say, because here we have material for weeks. Let's start from the beginning. I like how the author introduces the several characters (Jasmine, her mother, her boyfriend, friends...) but without stopping to develop impossible descriptions which would make the book tedious and even more massive. No, Simmons knows what he is doing and keeps you awake, not abandoning a shuddering style of story-telling that doesn't allow you to put the book down. You just don't find the moment... Read More

Desert Shadows

Desert Shadows

Joshua Dowidat

"Desert Shadows" is a young-adult horror book. Two boys explore their lives and surroundings in a way we all would have wanted to: creating stories in your mind, adventure, a treasure hunt! Slowly though, they see themselves locked in a horror spiral. A stranger enters their lives to change them forever. I'd like to break this story down, because Dowidat provokes in you transforming emotions. In the beginning, it's a kid's tale. Two brothers, Caleb and Liam, who spend their free time in the desert, building their own world. Slowly, they enter a true, terrifying horror story. A character who seems to be the key is a...

Richard-Steven Williams

Williams has written a book which will keep your hands full for several hours, I read it in one go. There is something very interesting about this story, and it's how the author introduces to the reader all technical concepts he needs you to understand but without being too thick. He makes it gloomy, catchy, mysterious. Space adds an extra plus of creepiness to the thread, since in a ship—there's no way out. Locked with your predator, let the game begin! The book is long but very quick to read because Williams' writing is not heavy, he jumps from one concept to another with ease. Scenes and characters precede each... Read More

Death, Infection, The Devil... and Jed

Howard Carlyle

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... Read More
