It’s that time of year again! Time for all the norms to embrace the darkness, smear fake blood on themselves, and go to great lengths to look ‘horrifying’, before sneering at those who genuinely love horror for another 360-ish days…. Read More ›

Book Review – The Encampment by the Gorge & Blood Memory by Zachary Ashford
It’s another Short Sharp Shocks! review, folks! I must say not one of these stories in the series has disappointed me yet, and I’m pleased to say that these two delights just add more fuel to the raging fire. The… Read More ›
Book Review – Lords of Eden by M.R. Tapia
I suppose I should start this review by warning you that this book isn’t for everyone. It’s nasty, perverted, unapologetic, gory, and great. I’m a big fan of M.R. Tapia’s work and this novella captures everything his fans would be… Read More ›

Book Review – The Cold by Rich Hawkins
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 ›
