Review: Brazen: A Dark Chapter Press Unlimited Short: B

Brazen: A Dark Chapter Press Unlimited Short: B Brazen: A Dark Chapter Press Unlimited Short: B by Matt Hickman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really good short story. As with all Hickman's tales. He has you thinking one way, then he goes in the complete opposite direction.
Very powerful, very brutal and a killer twist.

Review: Where The Dead Ones Play: A Supernatural Horror

Where The Dead Ones Play: A Supernatural Horror Where The Dead Ones Play: A Supernatural Horror by Kyle M. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First things first.
This is the first book I've read in as long as I can remember that I wished I hadn't read just before going to sleep. I was looking to the corner of my room to check if any shadows were looking back.
This is a really creepy story.
Besides all of the scary stuff, this story showed a lot of emotion. The relationship between father and son is portrayed perfectly. I have a young child myself and could relate a lot to the fathers emotions and feelings.
All in all, a very scary and powerful story. Possibly the best book I've read this year.

Review: O is for Orifice

O is for Orifice O is for Orifice by Iain Rob Wright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked this one a lot. One of the best in the series. I don't want to say anything because it will give the story away, but if you woke up with that stuff happening to you, you would certainly freak out.

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

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 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.
