Merrill David and 1 other person liked Shaina Renae's review of Clusterfuk: "Merrill is at it again with another sick, sexy, twisted tale of scary spiders, sexy nuns and a fantastic guide animal. I laughed. I cringed. I gagged a time or two. It was a great ride!"

Western Horror tale for the ages Loved this story ! Chris Mullen knows his westerns but in his first attempt at a horror story, he nailed it. The clear sign of a truly talented writer! Check this one out if you enjoy westerns or horror or both!
