David Bernstein's Blog: Book Reviews

Relic of Death

"David Bernstein delivers a fast-moving tale of desire and destruction that gives new meaning to the words, “Be careful what you wish for.” Relic of Death twists reality and will leave you reflecting on your own personal Achilles heel long after you finished reading…" —Allan Leverone, author of Mr. Midnight

"A fascinating, unpredictable, ever-shifting tale of greed and desperation. Highly recommended!" —Jeff Strand, author of Pressure

"Relic of Death doubles as a powerful parable and a terrifying story. Proving himself to be a prodigious new talent, David Bernstein creates a blood-soaked canvas where dreams change to nightmares and hope transforms to dread." —Jon Bassoff, author of Corrosion

The Tree Man

"Warlocks, witches, spiderlike familiars, and the ghosts of the evil dead... pit them all against a kid with a stolen shotgun and you've got a helluva dark ride! Creepy as Hell! Bernstein has crafted a Grimm's Fairy Tale for the modern age."

-John Everson, author of NightWhere and Violet Eyes

"My only complaint about The Tree Man? It ended. David Bernstein has written a chill-soaked masterpiece that stole my sleep. He's proven to be a true master of horror!"

--Kristopher Rufty, author of The Lurkers and Oak Hollow.

Damaged Souls

"David Berstein's Damaged Souls is a hard-hitting mix of gut-churning horror, strikingly dark imagery, and prose as sharp as a cultist's sacrificial dagger. Don't miss it!" -- Tim Waggoner, author of The Way of All Flesh.

"David Bernstein's Damaged Souls is a brutal, bloody novel in the tradition of Richard Laymon and Edward Lee. Highly recommended!" --Peter Giglio, author of Stealing Night and Sunfall Manor

"DAMAGED SOULS is a fantastic read that hooks its claws into you from the first page and doesn't let go. Great writing, compelling characters, and a highly imaginative story will keep you turning the page. With demon claws and zombie bites, David Bernstein is making his mark as one of today's finest horror writers."
--Brian Moreland, author of DEAD OF WINTER and THE WITCHING HOUSE

Sci fi meets action thriller!!!!!

I wrote a book entitled, TEARS OF NO RETURN. It combines sci fi with thriller and paranormal. A few publishers loved the idea, but shied away for fear readers won't like the mixing of the genres. Not all, ovisously it was published and feedback has been great! As a whole, how do YOU feel about novels that mix it up?
