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 – Supermassive Black Mass by Matthew R. Davis

  By Morgan K Tanner on August 27, 2019 • ( 5 )

  

  I went into this short book based on the title, the cover (it’s a kick-ass pentagram!!!), and the fact it was another tale in the Short Sharp Shocks! collection. Imagine my delight when I found out the main character was… Read More ›

• Souls Will be Consumed on August 22nd; The Mind’s Plague is Upon You

  By Morgan K Tanner on August 20, 2019 • ( 2 )

  

  Sinister greetings!! This Thursday, August 22nd sees the release of my collection of 10 short stories, The Mind’s Plague and Other Bites of Brutality. These stories explore love, happiness, and lots of mushy romance. Just kidding, they are pretty much… Read More ›

• Book Review – Church Mouse; Memoir of a Vampire’s Servant, by R.H. Hale

  By Morgan K Tanner on August 18, 2019 • ( 2 )

  

  When I see a book described as a vampire story, I immediately think Anne Rice or Twilight and am slightly dubious at the thought of reading it. Which is silly really because, when I think about it, I enjoyed the… Read More ›

• Book Review – The Cold by Rich Hawkins

  By Morgan K Tanner on August 8, 2019 • ( 1 )

  

  This was one bleak story full of sadness, hopelessness, and lashings of blood; some fresh, some congealed and blackened. So of course I enjoyed it immensely! I’m a big fan of Rich Hawkins. His Plague Trilogy was superb; a post-apocalyptic… Read More ›

• Book Review – Breaking the Habit by Yolanda Sfetsos

  By Morgan K Tanner on August 1, 2019 • ( 2 )

  

  When a couple travel to a deserted cabin in the dense woodland, you kind of know what’s going to go down there. Supernatural monsters from the trees perhaps? An escaped murderer? A ghost of the former owner? Local rednecks who… Read More ›

• Book Review – Appalachian Horror, an Anthology from Aphotic Realm

  By Morgan K Tanner on July 27, 2019 • ( 0 )

  

  I’ve never been to the Appalachians but know a little from movies and TV, so even though I had no first-hand experience of the place, I was familiar with the general vibe. I’ve heard it’s picturesque and beautiful, but with… Read More ›

• Book Review – The Town That Feared Dusk by Calvin Demmer

  By Morgan K Tanner on July 26, 2019 • ( 1 )

  

  I went into this short story with high expectations. I’m a big fan of Calvin Demmer’s work, this dude can make flash fictions feel like novellas, if you know what I mean. This story flew past, possibly a little too… Read More ›
