Book Review – Dead and Breakfast by Gary Buller
It’s great when a short story collection presents itself incognito. Chuck Palahniuk’s Haunted is one such example. This collection of tales from Gary Buller was a superb take on this style of storytelling, and worked really well. Things start off… Read More ›

Book Review – The Midwives by Duncan Ralston
Having thoroughly ‘devoured’ The Midwives (which is certainly an intentional pun) I feel compelled to write about just how damn great it is. Ahem, so I will. This novel of folklore, macabre practices, a killer on the loose looking for… Read More ›
