Erik Hofstatter’s debut novel has been some time in the making and is certainly worth the wait. With Toroa, Hofstatter takes us on an emotional journey across the world. It is a journey with many highs and lows as we follow Mahi on her quest for truth, understanding and ultimately revenge. As is often…

Recently, Erik Hofstatter teamed up with Sinister Grin Press and published his debut novel, Toroa. I’ve been a big fan of Erik for some time now and I was eager to hear more about this story. I’ll be reviewing Toroa in June. Thanks to Erik for such in-depth answers. I do hope you enjoy. TGR:…
The Grim Reader awards: My books of 2017
I love a good list, especially one that highlights some of the years best books. Many bloggers do this and I’m always interested to see what books they include. My list features books I read this year, not necessarily books published this year. I’m not going to waffle too much here, instead I’ll get straight…
Book review: The Crabian Heart – Erik Hofstatter
The Crabian Heart is yet another great read from Erik Hofstatter, continuing his fine form from after last years excellent novella, Rare Breeds.

One thing I like perhaps more than anything else…
Book review: Katerina – Erik Hofstatter
I recently read the latest short story collection by Erik Hofstatter and really enjoyed it. You can see my review for that here. ‘Katerina’ is an odd little novelette originally released in 2015. What starts as a dark, erotic story soon manifests into something quite odd as main character Kimil beds a prostitute but begins to…
Book Review: Amaranthine and Other Stories by Erik Hofstatter.
I saw recently that Erik Hofstatter had released a new collection called ‘Amaranthine and Other Stories’ Erik is one of those writers I have been meaning to read for some time, but you know what it’s like; too many books and not enough hours to get through them. Anyway, the collection was around about 70…
