DEAD THINGS by Stephen Blackmoore

Dead Things by Stephen Blackmoore was recommended to me by an editor friend who not only reads my books, but also reads a lot of the same stuff I do. So I have her to thank for this one. After I saw the cover and read the description, I ordered the book immediately. I’d been […]

THAT THING AT THE ZOO by James R. Tuck

“That Thing At The Zoo” is a novella about occult bounty hunter Deacon Chalk. Chalk is a man that won’t be stopped, a warrior of Herculean proportions who has been forged in the fires of personal loss, a man that has nothing else to lose and lives for the enemies that fall within his grasp. […]

JOE GOLEM AND THE COPPER GIRL by Christopher Golden and Mike Mignola

Joe Golem and the Copper Girl is a prequel of sorts to Joe Golem and the Drowning City. Christopher Golden and Mike Mignola have been having some real success in storytelling through comics, short stories, and illustrated graphic novels, and I’m having fun trying to keep up with all of them. Their Hellboy stuff and […]

THAT DAMNED COYOTE HILL by Heath Lowrance

“That Damned Coyote Hill” is the first of Heath Lowrance’s Hawthorne short stories featuring a bounty hunter (I think, though that’s more hinted at than definite). In this first story, he’s out looking for personal vengeance, though. To me, Hawthorne seems more like Robert E. Howard’s Solomon Kane character, a wandering soldier of fortune who’s […]

DUST OF THE DAMNED by Peter Brandvold

I’ve read some of Peter Brandvold’s Westerns under his name as well as the Frank Leslie name, and I’ve enjoyed them as solid actioners that are quite a bit harder edged than anything Louis L’Amour ever wrote. And his latest release, Dust of the Damned, is way weirder than anything L’Amour wrote even back in […]

BLACK MAGIC WOMAN by Justin Gustainis

Quincey Morris was a name immediately familiar to me from the granddaddy of horror novels, Dracula, by Bram Stoker. In that book, Morris was an Texan adventurer who hooked up with Jonathan Harker and Mina in the battle against the evil count. Now, a couple hundred years plus later, it was interesting to note that […]

EYES TO SEE by Joseph Nassise

Eyes To See is the first book in an intriguing new series by Joseph Nassise (author of the Templar Chronicles) and is a great little mix of paranormal and noir fiction. In order to find his missing daughter, scholar Jeremiah Hunt gave up his eyes in exchange for a new vision that allows him to […]

TRICK OF THE LIGHT by Rob Thurman

Click cover to go to Amazon Rob Thurman is a fairly new discovery for me. I first encountered her Cal Leandros novel, Nightlife. I was drawn to the book by the cover, which is the same reason I picked this one up off the racks. She’s getting a run of good cover artists. I thought […]

WHAT THE NIGHT KNOWS by Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz returns to some of his early roots in his latest novel, a supernatural thriller, What The Night Knows. Homicide Detective John Calvino has his own reasons for investigating why 14 year old Billy Lucas murdered his family, but the author holds back that information as part of a string of mysteries that lure […]
