Review: Jeremy: Evil Has One Name - A Horror Novella

Jeremy: Evil Has One Name - A Horror Novella by Matt Hickman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First things first, a quick disclosure. I have worked closely with this author on other projects. Please note that this in no way reflects on my review. If anything, this would make me more critical on his work.

I loved this book, part 1 in a brilliant coming of age drama, a powerful story of a neglected child who is bullied at school, until one day something happens and it changes him.

Part 2 is all out crazy, the contrast from part 1 is so great that they blend together perfectly. I don't want to say anything to give anything away, but just trust me. It's out there!

Well worth a read. I've enjoyed everything that I've read from Hickman so far and he doesn't show any sign of slowing down anytime soon. Great job.

Review: Slugs

Slugs by Shaun Hutson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really good book. I fell out of routine a bit so it took me ages getting through it, but I'm glad that I stuck with it because it was well worth it.
The story itself was very good. The concept, oh god. The whole thought of the slugs.....
My skin was crawling the entire time I was reading!
Definitely worth checking out.
Highly recommend.

Review: N is for Nightmare

N is for Nightmare by Iain Rob Wright
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Like all of the a-z stories. This was a fun quick read.
These stories always have a bit of a goosebumps feel to them, I like it.
Truth be told I did guess the outcome of this story almost immediately, having said that, the tension building was still very good and it gave off a good creepy vibe.

Review: Darkness, Tell Us

Darkness, Tell Us by Richard Laymon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great read. This book had me gripped from the very beginning. Who doesn't like a creepy story with a ouija board? But this was more than just a ghost story, it had a pretty epic game of cat and mouse and the brutal back story really made you feel for the characters.
Great story, definitely check it out.

Exciting News

I am pleased to announce that I have signed with literary agent Keith Chawgo. This is a big step for me, but after talks with Keith, I have decided this is the best move for me going forward. Keith will be representing me for my future work and also be looking into my back catalogue with the possibility of some TV Shows/movies based on the likes of DADDYS GIRL & FAMILY MAN.

Keith has worked on some very big projects including the HOSTEL movies and TV shows such as SUPERNATURAL & THE X FILES. So I think that I will be in pretty good hands.

So what does this mean for me? Well, a lot more writing for a start. I will be pushing myself a lot harder now to keep Keith as busy as possible. As I said, this is a big step for me, but I am ready to put everything into it to make sure it is the right step.

Exciting times ahead. Watch this space.

Review: Cine

Cine by Stuart Keane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

That was a cracking read. Keane has a talent for thinking up some pretty unique things.
The story itself is solid, it's a good story.
But let's be honest. What did you come here for? The violence, the blood and gore.
This book is full of it. It's brutal! i've read and seen some pretty extreme horror.
If this book was to go to screen then half of it would have to be censored out.
If you think you can handle it, give it a try. You'll love it.
