Guest post: Mark Allan Gunnells talks

Mark Allan Gunnells has been pretty busy this year on the writing front. His co-authored book with Aaron Dries, ‘Where the Dead go to Die’ is featured in my years best of 2016. It is an astonishing book that turns a familiar horror trope upside down, pulls out its intestines and devours them. It is…

2016 best of the best…according to The Grim Reader.

I’m sure you have all been hanging on the edge of your seat just waiting to see what novels would feature in my top 20 for 2016. It has been another bumper book year. My Goodreads challenge was met in September, and I anticipate cracking 200 books for this year (including novellas, anthologies and novels)….

Book review: Dream Woods – Patrick Lacey

Book review: Hunter of the Dead – Stephen Kozeniewski

To say that I had a lot of fun with this new novel from Stephen Kozeniewski would be an understatement. The cover had me sold a few weeks back when I first saw it. But then I read the synopsis and saw the word “Vampire” mentioned…ohhhh, I said to myself. Now I will admit, I…

Interview: Stephen Kozeniewski (pronounced “causin’ ooze key”)

Stephen Kozeniewski (pronounced “causin’ ooze key”) has a great name. He also writes great books and has one of the best Facebook author pages on the slightly annoying social media site where he consistently challenges you by posing some very serious questions.

Book review: All-Night Terror – Adam Cesare & Matt Serafini

‘All-Night Terror’ was originally published back in 2013. Recently, those fine chaps at Sinister Grin Press have re-released it with some kick-ass new cover art AND four NEW stories!

Book Review: Lights Out – Nate Southard
