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.

• Book Review – Double Barrel Horror Vol. 3, an Anthology edited by Matthew Weber

  By Morgan K Tanner on April 25, 2020 • ( 0 )

  

  This was a first for me; an anthology where each writer contributes two stories. What a great idea! I’ve read many anthologies where perhaps one story didn’t really do it for me, or another was properly wow-mazing, and that was… Read More ›

• Book Review – Sole Survivor by Zachary Ashford

  By Morgan K Tanner on April 19, 2020 • ( 0 )

  

  It’s been a while since I read a fast-paced splatter-fest. Not through choice, it just hasn’t worked out that way. But this novella was a firm reminder that these kinds of stories are such a great load of gore-encrusted fun…. Read More ›

  So you’ve written, edited, formatted, and done everything else required to your kick-ass book and are just about ready to hit ‘publish’ and send your words out there into the big, wide world. That’s awesome work. Of course, that book… Read More ›

• Book Review – Where Dragonflies Dance by A. A. Medina

  By Morgan K Tanner on April 3, 2020 • ( 2 )

  

  Man, this is one dark book. Although should I have expected anything less? A. A. Medina’s novella, Siphon is a book to be read through gnarled fingers, such is the graphic nature of many of its scenes. So this second… Read More ›

• Self-publishing and How Difficult it is; A Kind of Guide (with pictures!!)

  By Morgan K Tanner on March 29, 2020 • ( 8 )

  

  I am a self-published author. Say it with me!!!!! There was perhaps a time when saying this was akin to opening up to an addiction in a room of strangers, earning tokens in exchange for divulging intimate secrets. Before I… Read More ›

• Book Review – The Celestial Assignment by Theresa Braun

  By Morgan K Tanner on March 26, 2020 • ( 0 )

  

  I have to admit, a story about guardian angels didn’t exactly have me salivating when I first heard about it; I prefer my angels fallen and rebelling. But knowing this was a Theresa Braun story I knew it wasn’t going… Read More ›

• Book Review – Five Doses by Mark Cassell

  By Morgan K Tanner on March 23, 2020 • ( 0 )

  This collection of five stories reads more like an anthology. Each tale is so varied that you’d be forgiven for thinking they were written by five different authors. And that, is a great thing. There are many horror elements on… Read More ›
