Last year I read Paradise, Maine by Jackson R. Thomas and really enjoyed it. It had gore, guts, and one evil beast intent on sadistically butchering anyone happening to be around. It was really great, so when the opportunity was… 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 ›
Book Review – Double Barrel Horror Vol. 3, an Anthology edited by Matthew Weber

Book Review – Stage 3: Alpha by Ken Stark

Book Review – Church Mouse – Book 2: The Change by R.H. Hale
This mighty fine novel is the second instalment in the Church Mouse saga and I’m very pleased to say it is right up there with its predecessor on the excellence scale. I really enjoyed the first book, Church Mouse; Memoir… Read More ›
