Well where do I start?

That intro makes it sound like I’m up to sooo much fun stuff and have so many interesting facts to share about myself, but it’s all pretty boring really.

I write stories where scary stuff happens, I blog about nonsense, I am an amateur serial killer in the making, and I love snuggling up with my cute little kittens in front of a warm fire (only one of those statements is false).

I enjoy reading, which is a good thing if you want to write, as you need to know how to do it properly! King, Kafka, Palahniuk, Barker, Lovecraft, Jackie Collins; all the greats.

Films, yes I like them. Food, I enjoy eating it. Drums, I love banging them.

I hope to take over the world one day and make everyone listen to ear-shattering grindcore at all times, to only complain that my music is becoming too mainstream.

And that’s it really. Oh yeah, I also have a GSOH, although you’d probably doubt that if you ever met me.

  Stories involving God-fearing lunatics hell-bent on driving the devil out of their ‘loved’ ones are generally pretty creepy affairs. Now Comes the Darkness is one such tale, and the creepiness is right up there on the scare scale. Mary lives… Read More ›

  I like horror, I like gore, I like monsters, I like tragedy. Taking all these into account I was pretty sure I was going to enjoy this collection, I’d certainly heard great things about it. I have to say, I… Read More ›

• Book Review – Something Borrowed, Something Blood-Soaked by Christa Carmen

  This collection of 13 stories was one I’d been aware of for a while. After hearing many reviews detailing the awesomeness within these pages, I decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about. Well, now I… Read More ›

• Book Review – Forest Underground by Lydian Faust

  By Morgan K Tanner on February 8, 2019 • ( 0 )

  

  This is a tricky review to write. I don’t feel I can describe the events of this book without giving things away, and I’m very anti-spoilers, don’t you know! Although saying that, it’s easy to state that this horror novella… Read More ›

• Book Review – Eat The Rich by Renee Miller

  I went into this novel blind. I’d heard it was good but couldn’t remember reading any reviews so had no idea what I was getting myself into. And for the life of me I couldn’t get that Aerosmith song out… Read More ›

  I do enjoy getting my bizarro fiction fix from time to time, you know. It’s not a staple in my literary exploits but now and again I love to delve into some truly weird-ass stories. It’s been a while since… Read More ›

• Book Review – The Sea Was a Fair Master by Calvin Demmer

  By Morgan K Tanner on January 20, 2019 • ( 3 )

  

  I’ve read my fair share of flash fiction stories over the years, but this was the first collection I’d read from a single author. Flash fiction isn’t for everyone, but I’m a big fan. It’s not just because I have… Read More ›

• Book Review – The Window by Glenn Rolfe

  By Morgan K Tanner on January 13, 2019 • ( 0 )

  

  Possession stories have a tendency to be a little hit and miss for me. In order for them to work you need the possessors to be evil enough to scare you, and the victims, or possessees, to elicit enough empathy… Read More ›
