Review: F is for Feral


F is for Feral
F is for Feral by Iain Rob Wright

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I enjoyed this. I have to admit that I did guess the ending very early on.
But this was still a fun story. It felt like a hard core goosebumps or something.
Another one down in the A-Z four stars from me.
Onto G now.

Review: Dark Exorcist


Dark Exorcist
Dark Exorcist by Tim Miller

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This is the first story I've read from this author. Have to say that I really enjoyed it.
I was concerned with it being a possession novel that it would just start ripping things off from the usual stories, but it didn't. It was a great story in its own right.
Definitely checking out more from this author.

Review: E is for Exterminator


E is for Exterminator
E is for Exterminator by Iain Rob Wright

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This was a fun quick story.
I'd say it's a bit of a tongue in cheek horror. It's a little bit cheesy, but having said that if you were out in that situation in real life it would be terrifying!
It's defo worth checking out.

Review: The Sorrow King


The Sorrow King
The Sorrow King by Andersen Prunty

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



Dnf at 82%.

I kept trying because I really wanted this to turn around, but it was starting to feel like a chore reading this.
It's just too depressing. I understand that suicide is a key factor to the story. But everyone is just constantly depressed. There is no breath of fresh air.

Sorry just didn't do it for me.

Review: Floppy Shoes Apocalypse


Floppy Shoes Apocalypse
Floppy Shoes Apocalypse by Alex S. Johnson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Anthologies are difficult to rate because there are always such a mix of stories in them.
I personally think it's almost impossible for anyone to like every single story in an anthology. Everyone has different tastes and every author has different writing styles.
It's not necessararly a bad read, just not to that persons taste.
In this anthology I found that there were a lot more stories that I did enjoy. There were only a couple that didn't take my fancy.
This is definitely worth a read.
It's clowns for gods sake and it doesn't get much more scary than that!

Review: D is for Degenerate by Iain Rob Wright



This story was banned from Amazon and Goodreads so I couldn't leave a review or rating on either of them.

Star rating would be 4 out of 5.

Being honest while reading it I was thinking. Yeah it's a bit nasty, but I can't understand why it's banned? I've read some stuff before which is a lot worse!
I was wondering what path this story would take that would push it that little bit too far.
Well, stick with it! When you come towards the end, it pushes far!
It's disgusting! I can see why Amazon disapprove.
I think banning is perhaps a bit too harsh, but I can understand that it would really offend some people.
I enjoyed it anyway. If you like a bit of gross out horror then give it a try.

Review: From The Deep


From The Deep
From The Deep by Michael Bray

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I won a signed copy of this book in a competion during the launch of [b:Monster: A Novel of Extreme Horror and Gore|25082994|Monster A Novel of Extreme Horror and Gore|Matt Shaw|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1426912329s/25082994.jpg|44519654] by Michael Bray and Matt Shaw.
I really enjoyed Monster. That was the first of Bray's work I had read.
This book is only the second thing I've read from him. I will definitely be checking out more!
I really enjoyed this, it's actually the first story I've ever read like this. Usually the sea creature/monster thing hasn't appealed to me, but I won this so I thought I would give it a go.
I can very happily say that I also won the sequel to this book so i will be checking it out very soon!
This is a gem. It's like a modern day JAWS I highly suggest that you check it out!
