Jeff Parsons | 9 comments Hello Goodreaders!

I was hoping you’d be able to review my short story book The Captivating Flames of Madness: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3....

I’m asking for your book review because, as you know, reviews have a great influence on a writer’s career. I’m close… I’m almost on the verge of getting noticed in the horror genre. In recent anthologies, I’ve been honored to be published alongside Joe Lansdale, Elizabeth Massie, Ramsey Campbell, Bentley Little, Graham Masterton, Tim Waggoner, and Michael J Moore… all writing legends.

The book was published in 2018, so I’m definitely off to a late re-start in my review-asking quest; I'm trying to play catch up now. As such, I'm in no great hurry for an immediate review… whatever schedule works best for you. If you’re interested, I can send you a mobi, epub, PDF, or MS Word for your review.

Thank you kindly for taking the time to consider my request.

Best regards,
Jeff
