Moonless Nocturne by Hank Schwaeble

Moonless Nocturne by Hank Schwaeble is a recently written anthology of Dark Fantasy and Horror Noir. I got this one for Christmas last year, otherwise who would think it would be possible for me to review a Horror book less than a year old? But this is not only horror. Schwaeble gets some bonus points […]

Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry

Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry is another classic in zombie fiction which came out before The Walking Dead influenced craze of the past decade.

The Troop by Nick Cutter

A few days before Halloween I realized I was not reading a horror book and I felt this was quite remiss. I looked through my unreads and discovered I had a hidden horror book left. I thought The Troop was a science fiction soldier type of thing and just between us there are two huge […]

Dusk to Dusk

Here’s a piece of flash fiction I entered into a contest. Warning it is a little Woo, but is something which I experienced around August 5 2016. . . Placing down his pack with a sigh, Danial looked at his deflated tent with little enthusiasm. His hurried flight from his former home left him missing […]

The Next Missing Link

Professor Blaine saw the end of his days looming before him and Miles feared his elder might wish to speak to him about finances […]

Devolution by Max Brooks

I received Devolution by Max Brooks as a gift while I was on vacation. Since I had read the Zombie Survival Guide and WWZ, I was excited and almost jumped right in, but I was diving into the Wizard King series and wanted to keep at it. I love everything I have read from Max […]

Ararat by Christopher Golden

Ararat by Christopher Golden is a horror novel which became a best seller.Usually I do not read many best sellers because for the last 12 years I have been a semiprofessional book reviewer of speculative fiction. When you are a lower ranking book reviewer you tend to get more of the indie authors, and it […]
