Book Review – Country Roads by Colin Leonard
I received a copy of this fine book from BookSirens, so massive thanks to everyone involved for that. I must begin by saying the title wasn’t the grabber here. Country Roads could be a pamphlet on quiet and picturesque places… Read More ›
Book Review – The Church on Wormhill Street by Christopher Henderson
This is the second instalment in the investigations of the mighty Harry Undine. I previously read, and thoroughly enjoyed, Christopher Henderson’s novel The Horror at Lavender Edge, and you can see how much I loved it right here. When I… Read More ›

Book Review – The Jesus Man: A Post-Apocalyptic Tale of Horror by Keith Anthony Baird
You know when you read a book and it stays with you long after reading it? OK, so I’ve only just finished this novel, but I can envisage it doing exactly that. I managed to snag this beauty for free… Read More ›
