Review: Before you Sleep

Before you Sleep by Adam Nevill
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Three very good, very creepy stories. I particularly enjoyed the last one.
All the way through you could feel a sort of sinister undercurrent. Actually gives me shivers down my spine just thinking about it.
Well worth checking out!

Review: Tar: An apocalyptic horror novella

Tar: An apocalyptic horror novella by Iain Rob Wright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another great tale from Iain Rob Wright. This was a lot shorter than most of his works, quick readers could probably do it in one sitting.
I don't want to say much about the story as I don't like to give anything away. What I will say it that the ending took me by complete surprise!

It was also a pleasant surprise to find a handful of short stories in the back of the book from other authors as well. Some new names and some well known, such as Matt Shaw and Michael Bray.
All of these stories are very, very good. From the new names as well as the old.

Review: Twisted Bitches: a tale of Extreme Horror and Revenge

Twisted Bitches: a tale of Extreme Horror and Revenge by Matt Shaw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not the first collaboration I've read from
Bray and Shaw, and won't be the last.
This was a good, fun read. I thought early on that I'd guessed where this story was going.
Man was I wrong. I mean, honestly, I've never been more wrong.
Couldn't have guessed this outcome in a million years.
Defo worth checking out.

Review: Woom: An extreme horror

Woom: An extreme horror by Duncan Ralston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well that was, without a doubt, the most messed up thing I have ever read.
Don't get me wrong. It was a fantastic read. In fact it's probably the best thing I've read all year.
But my god, that was seriously, seriously messed up.
I need to go take a shower.

Review: Flesh

Flesh by Richard Laymon
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I was listening to the audiobook of this. It was quite a struggle at times. I can't exactly pin point what I didn't like about this book, it just didn't work for me.
I've preferred the other stuff I've read by Laymon far more.

Review: Upon Waking

Upon Waking by J.R. Park
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I've had a few people tell me that I need to check out J. R. Park.
Well I finally gave in. I'm so glad I did! This was a really fun read. It's brutal, and I mean ridiculously, graphically violent.
I was squirming more than once. I loved every minute of this and it felt as though I'd read it all in about five mins. So fun it just flew.
Definitely one to recommend.
