Last time I interviewed you, Girls and Monsters had just come out. What have you been up to since then? It’s been CRAZY. After my first publishing experience with a small press (beside participating to an anthology, obv.), I decided to do things my own way and self-pub my novel HUNTER’S TRAP. Quite the […]
As some of you may know, I normally despise zombie fiction. Everything that has or can be said in that sub-genre of horror has been done…and please forgive the pun…to death. When I first spoke to Kai about reviewing the Pathogen books I was hesitant at first, but the brief synopsis she gave me about […]
Full disclosure: Carl D. Smith has contributed articles and a wonderful set of short stories to this website in the past. I’ve been sitting on this review for about 8 months now, so let’s get to it. Despite being a novella, there is a wonderful world created in the pages of Darkness out of […]
Synopsis: Ask yourself: How would YOU survive an epidemic? Acadia King is a young widow suddenly faced with answering this question, and in ways she could have never dreamed possible at the start of her evening. It has been two long years since the death of her husband. Caving to the pressure from her good […]

That is how I will summarize Still the Shadows by Elizabeth Fields, a collection of four short horror stories suitable for young adults or adults who have a preference other than the hack ‘n slash gore and zombie apocalypse that seems to be on permanent repeat on Amazon’s “Top Choices” list.

The Best Night of the Year by Gerald Dean Rice It’s that time of year again! October is my favorite month, and The Best Night of the Year delivers three spooky short tales of Halloween horror. Synopsis: The Best Night of the Year contains 3 tales of terror from the author of Fleshbags. Two police […]
End of Summer by J. Tonzelli is a book that tries really hard. It wormed into all my comfortable places and I wanted to like it. The thirteen short stories it contains are centered on Halloween, which is a soft spot for most of us in the scare industry. Cool weather, changing leaves jumping off […]
Sleepers II by Jacqueline Druga Warning! If you have not yet read Sleepers #1, skip this review and come back later. In the final chapter of Sleepers #1, the survivors are forcibly split into two groups. One group goes to the ARC in the former NORAD headquarters, and another group is left behind on a […]
First off, deepest apologies to Mr.Martin for taking so long to get this review up. Second, this was a tremendous read. The world building is some of the best I’ve read in quite some time. Each story adds more mystery and intensity to Elder’s Keep that allows it to grow into its own character. It […]
