I reviewed the debut SYNTH anthology back in April and I really couldn't wait to dive back into this series curated by C.M. Muller. Volume 2 of the SYNTH: An Anthology of Dark Science Fiction carries on the tone of the previous volume, but considering how high the bar was, it just did not reach … Continue reading SYNTH #2: An Anthology of Dark SF

Review: Aetherchrist
Today is a special blog post, as is tomorrows, because I am taking part in Apex Publication's Back Catalog Blog Tour this month! I took some time and reviewed two books from authors I've been waiting to read for a while and I'm happy to say I was disappointed by neither of them! Anyway, I … Continue reading Review: Aetherchrist
Review: 100 Words of Horror Pt. 3
The latest in Kevin J. Kennedy's drabble series of horror, Part 3 does not disappoint with bringing another group of horror writers together in one volume! A little different from previous anthologies, Kennedy states in his opening words that he opened this volume to the public and received a massive response. Of course this means … Continue reading Review: 100 Words of Horror Pt. 3
Review: To Be Devoured
It normally takes a lot of me to be disgusted, but Sara Tantlinger's TO BE DEVOURED may be the grossest book I have read all year, yet she makes it beautiful. After being familiar with her poetry for several years, and fresh off her Stoker award winning poetry collection, THE DEVIL'S DREAMLAND, Tantlinger's first novella … Continue reading Review: To Be Devoured

Review: Screechers
I wasn't sure what I was in for with a title like SCREECHERS and a tag-team of authors in Kevin J. Kennedy & Christina Berling, but the experience was a pleasant one, that is if you enjoy nightmarish hellscapes. In SCREECHERS, we have two interweaving stories. One follows three men, Austin, Denver, and Brooklyn (gotta … Continue reading Review: Screechers
Review: North American Lake Monsters
I've been on a bit of a collection kick, if you could not tell and I was unprepred for reading my first collection by Nathan Ballingrud. NORTH AMERICAN LAKE MONSTERS is a searing, uncomfortable taste of brutal humanity. Describing this collection of stories would be to say it is a splicing of Raymond Carver and … Continue reading Review: North American Lake Monsters

Review: Dark Thoughts
I enjoy horror and Kevin J. Kennedy provides some of the most twisted and pulpy stuff out there. This collection, the first I've had a chance to read is no exception. Not every story landed with me, but the ones that did were fantastic and I'll discuss them in more detail in a moment. DARK … Continue reading Review: Dark Thoughts
