The Hallow – Keith Deininger

  I purposely waited a couple of days to review Keith Deininger’s The Hallow. I wanted what I had just read to sink in; to chew on it and roll it around. The Hallow is a trippy, drug-induced journey into the life of James after his car breaks down and he has to resort to

The Stand – Stephen King

For many, The Stand needs no introduction. If you’re a King fan, chances are you’ve already tackled this behemoth. Others seem to be intimidated by the sheer size of this monster and move on to his other stories that don’t weigh as much a Buick. For those of you who may be trying to decide

Thrall – Mary SanGiovanni

Thrall is a very hard one for me to review. I’d never read any of Mary SanGiovanni’s stuff before, but the premise seemed interesting, she’s the girlfriend of Brian Keene, who’s writing I love, and a few of my friends seemed to like this one. So, I downloaded it with modest hopes for an entertaining

Blood And Rain – Glenn Rolfe

I feel that you need to be prepared properly to enjoy Blood And Rain, the latest offering from the up-and-coming Glenn Rolfe. Glenn is yet another author from Maine to throw his hat into the horror genre ring. Now before you Stephen King purists out there yawn and let out a “Ho Hum”, you need

The Grief Frequency – Kealan Patrick Burke

Guilt. It can eat you from the inside out until you’re hollow inside. Paul learns first-hand the power guilt can have over you when he convinces his wife that they should attempt to drive home instead of waiting for a storm to pass. As luck would have it, Paul loses control and his wife is
