Review: Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Invasion of the Body Snatchers by Jack Finney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

That was a great read. I've seen lots of the movie adaptations so I had an idea of what was going to happen anyway, but that didn't take anything away from the story.
I was concerned that the book was going to feel dated, with it being written in 1955. It's not. This guy was well ahead of his time! Reading this felt the same as reading something written now a days.
Really good read. I know Finney hasn't written much more than this but I will be taking a look at his other stuff.

Review: Seeing Evil

Seeing Evil by Jason Parent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! That was just brilliant!
Every single chapter straight from the very beginning had me gripped. I'm exhausted today because I stayed up late last night reading because I just didn't want to put it down.
I would go as far as to say this is probably the best book I've read so far this year. Absolutely loved it.

Review: Dreamworld: Extreme Horror

Dreamworld: Extreme Horror by Sam West
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked this story. It felt like an adult version of a goosebumps story. The death scenes were pretty brutal and fun, but then all of a sudden it seemed to be rushed to the end.
Overall three stars, but if the end had been a little bit better it would have been four.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Don't you just love happy endings?

I really enjoyed that book. It did exactly what it said it would do in the introduction.
A full on old school cannibal horror story.
You won't be disappointed

Review: All or Nothing

All or Nothing by Stuart Keane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

That was bloody brilliant! It kept me gripped for the entire read. If you too "the running man" "saw" and "battle royale" and mashed them together, this is what you would get.
Bloody, violent & gripping. Definitely recommend

Review: Dead Harvest

Dead Harvest by Mark Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a great collection of stories. Probably one of the best I've read. Will all collections you will have some stories you like and some that you don't
This collection had some stories that I thought were so good they could probably be listed on their own.
I have to metion Hodmedod by Stuart Keane & Nails by Jeff Strand. Those two in particular were just fantastic.

Just go check it out. It's a massive collection and the stories are great.

Review: Whisper

Whisper by Michael Bray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a cracking read. Had an eery feel to it throughout the whole book. I really enjoyed it and I will be checking out the other books in the trilogy.
My only complaint is that in parts it was a little bit slow, that's why I gave it 4 stars and not 5.
Overall, a great read and a good old school ghostly tale.

Definitely recommend.

Review: House of Reckoning

House of Reckoning by John Saul
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I listened to the audiobook of this, the performance itself was very good, no complaints here.
This story was quite good. I wouldn't say it's anything fantastic, but it's was enjoyable.
It had its brutal parts which I enjoyed and I also love a good dose of karma so the ending pleased me as well.
