Zero Lives Remaining by Adam Cesare

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Adam Cesare is my go to guy for new horror. A big appeal for me is we grew up close to the same era, so some of his work has a nostalgic aspect that I can relate to. With Zero Lives Remaining, that nostalgia comes in […]

Winners of the book giveaway!

Back in February I decided to have a little contest. I wanted to give away a copy of both of my novellas. Of course I was trying to do something to help get my name out there, but I’m a big fan of the small press. There are a lot of really talented writers putting […]

Let’s do a book giveaway!

My very first published book, The ADHD Vampire, just had its one year anniversary. That’s pretty awesome in my opinion. The people who have read it have given it positive reviews, for this I am thankful. Since this is a special occasion and all I wanted to do something to celebrate, and what better way […]

Mother Fucking Black Skull of Death!

Pulling into the parking lot is a massive semi, with a huge trailer painted with gory pictures of impaled bodies and a pile of severed heads. There’s a huge silver skull near the back that has the words ‘Mother’ and ‘Fucker’ where its eye sockets should be, and ‘Black Skull of Death’ for a mouth. […]

My Review of Nights Neon Fangs by David W. Barbee

David Barbee has done it again! His newest offering, Nights Neon Fangs, contains four novellas cram-packed full of great characters, settings, and adventures. I knew David was a very talented writer from his previous work, but NNF’s just proves he’s getting better and better. The book kicks off with the title story, Nights Neon Fangs. […]

The ADHD Vampire reviewed at The Horror Society

My book received its first official review over at The Horror Society. Its a really great review done by Kris Lugosi. Her review is honest, she has issues with the plot, but she didn’t hate the book. That’s a win in my opinion! Check out this review, and lots of other cool reviews. Review of […]

My Review of Pax Titanus by Tom Lucas

This year’s crop of The New Bizarro Author Series is quite a bit smaller than year’s past. With only three books this time around it should be easier for most fans to read them all. So far, I’ve had the pleasure of reading Pax Titanus by Tom Lucas, and let me just say this book […]

My Review of Hung Hounds by Donald Armfield

You can never truly know what to expect when you pick up a bizarro book. Most of the time, the synopsis only gives you a small glimpse into the world you’re about to enter. Hung Hounds is one of those books. The story is, our would-be hero, Humphrey, wakes up in the bathroom of a […]
