My Review

The last thing Steve wanted to be doing was cleaning out the shed. He’d rather be sitting on the couch watching football, but his wife is counting on him.

He does odd jobs in the yard, stalling entering the shed.

Vivid flashbacks to what happened in there almost knock him to his knees.

No, he doesn’t want to go in there.

As you can guess, Steve does go in the shed.

It goes from weird to bad very quickly.

While I enjoyed this story, I felt the ending was just a bit disjointed or rushed. I seemed to stumble a little while reading it. Could be just me.

However, I did enjoy it, and even though I had an idea of what would happen to Steve, I had no idea how. The author got creative.

This is Book Two in a series, but from what I can tell, they don’t need to be read in any order. Each is a separate story with different characters.

I’ll read more from this author.

My Review

At about 14 pages, I hardly blinked before I was finished reading Rag Doll.

Lucas’s young daughter Lucy just has to have the rag doll. She discovered it in a pile of stuff at a yard sale.

The thing is frayed and battered, ugly actually, but she wants it and so Lucas buys it for her.

Here’s where the author sets the tone. It’s dark now and a thunder storm is raging. A must for most horror settings.

The rag dolls name is Sandy and it will come as no surprise that the she comes to life.

The author even throws in a babysitter. Poor thing. She must be the sacrificial lamb.

There are some creepy scenes that reminded me of Dean Koontz‘ Tick Tock and voodoo dolls.

You get just enough to connect with characters, kind of recognize them, and then the fun begins. There are no wasted words. The author goes straight to the gut.

I never get tired of this kind of horror story. I suspend my disbelief and dive in, getting all kinds of creeped out and having fun.

The ending is deliciously horrific.

Troy McCombs

Ever since my third grade teacher made me write a short story for class credit, I was hooked to the art of writing. Creating and designing worlds that don’t exist, and populating those worlds with interesting and unusual characters, is what I do best. There’s nothing better than escaping reality for a while and taking an adventure. Who knows? Maybe somebody out in outer space is writing us. Perhaps we’re some make-believe characters in somebody else’s mind.

I hope you join my imagination and take my stories for a spin. If you read work by Stephen King and H.P. Lovecraft (my favorite writer), then you’ve definitely come to the right place! I also have some coming-of-age stories as well (The Graveyard; The Black Place Inside; The Music of 1997).

Anyway, welcome! And enjoy!

For today I’ll be telling you about The Haunted House On Wheels

by Dennis E. Yates

goodreads-badge-add-plus

Brothers Jerry and Mark have taken a long summer trip to visit their cousin Cindy. When Cindy insists that they go see a haunted house at a traveling carnival, the boys are skeptical at first. It’s not until they actually see it for themselves that they begin to change their minds.

Even after hearing the chilling stories Cindy has told them about the man who built the house, they only have an inkling of what awaits them inside.

Little do they know how those stories barely scratch the surface, that there are angry ghosts within who have other plans for them!

And it’s way too late to back out now, never mind a refund.

Because it’s beginning to look like there’s no way out!

My Review

I was first drawn to this book by the title. When I saw the fun cover art, that sealed the deal.

I breezed through this in about an hour, without taking a break.

It’s a fun, fast read with lots to keep you entertained. The characters are lively and genuine and written with individual voices making them easy to tell apart.

You have Cindy and Jerry, kind of pushing each other to be the bravest and go inside the haunted house.

Then you have Mark, younger but maybe wiser in his fear that something bad will happen.

Regardless, they all go inside the creepy house on wheels and sure enough, things go very wrong.

They are trapped in the house, and they aren’t alone in there.

It’s nice to have a story that you can relax with, breeze through, and just have fun with. While it may be written for a young audience, I found it took me back to my younger years and brought back memories of how things looked and felt then.

The characters came forth as speaking and acting as kids their age would, making them real and making you connect. The situations were exciting and scary and there are some twists to keep you engrossed.

Especially the ending. It wasn’t what I expected. A few of the characters surprised me, probably just what the author was going for.

I would recommend this book to all ages. The young will connect to the characters easily and us older readers will step back in time and remember the apprehension and excitement of going on a scary adventure.

Welcome to My Monday Minis.

This is where I review very short stories and flash fiction.

For today I’ll be telling you about Beginnings

The Prequel to The Guardians of Vesturon Series 

by A.M. Hargrove

Beginnings: Prequel to The Guardians of Vesturon

goodreads-badge-add-plus

You met the Guardians of Vesturon in Survival and Resurrection.  Now read about how their parents, Rowan and Annalise met in Beginnings, the novella Prequel to The Guardians of Vesturon.  Learn more about Rowan and how Annalise unwittingly captured his heart and how his chance meeting of her took him on a journey of forbidden love.

My Review

I was thrilled when the this book was released. I’ve read the entire Vesturon Series and this back story about Rowan and Annalise and how they met was like cheese cake with strawberries drizzled all over it. A sweet, tasty morsel to satisfy my craving for more.

When Rowan first lay eyes on Annalise, he was a goner. But when he approached her, she discouraged his advances.

First-Born and lower- born were not allowed to fraternize and Annalise could lose her job, or maybe worse if caught even speaking to Rowan.

But Rowan is not to be denied and sets out to change the out of date , prejudicial laws set by the Council of Elders, not just for him, but for everyone. Even standing up to his father, the Great Ruler of Vesturon.

I tore through this book in about an hour, not pausing until the end.

I admired Rowan and his fight for change. He was dogged in his determination and so tender with Annalise.

Annalise will melt your heart like she did Rowan’s when he gazed into her eyes. She’s gentle but not timid and supports Rowan’s fight.

It was also interesting to read about Rowan’s training as a Guardian. It was very brutal and reminded me of what soldiers go through in our special forces elite units.

I couldn’t imagine being tortured until I broke, and that’s knowing that they really won’t kill you. Scary stuff.

Now that I’ve read Beginnings I just may have to read the whole series again. I remember just how much I love this world and its many characters.

When you read The Guardian’s of Vesturon series you’ll see how these two loving people instilled their self-confidence and strong beliefs in their children.

About A.M. Hargrove

A.M. Hargrove

One day, on her way home from work as a sales manager, A. M. Hargrove, realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn’t do something soon, it would quickly be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming of her whole life.  So, she rolled down the passenger window of her fabulous (not) company car and tossed out her leather briefcase.  Luckily, the pedestrian in the direct line of fire was a dodge ball pro and had über quick reflexes enabling him to avoid getting bashed in the head.  Feeling a tad guilty about the near miss, A. M. made a speedy turn down a deserted side street before tossing her crummy, outdated piece-of-you-know-what laptop out the window.  She breathed a liberating sigh of relief, picked up her cell phone, called her boss and quit her job.  Grinning, she made another call to her hubs and told him of her new adventure (after making sure his heart was beating properly again).

So began A. M. Hargrove’s career as a YA/NA and Adult Romance writer. Her books include the following: Edge of Disaster, Shattered Edge and Kissing Fire (The Edge Series); The Guardians of Vesturon series (Survival, Resurrection, Determinant, reEmergent and Beginnings); Dark Waltz and Tragically Flawed.

Other than being in love with writing about being in love, she loves chocolate, ice cream and coffee and is positive they should be added as part of the USDA food groups.

For today I’ll be telling you about The Man In The Fire

by Brian Harmon

The Man in the Fire

goodreads-badge-add-plus

Fire lives. It breathes, It needs oxygen to continue to consume.

Fire followed Daniel all of his life, taking from him everything he loved, everything he lived for.

Now it’s come for him.

Can he beat it? Can the fire be killed?

Fire is mesmerizing and terrifying.

The flickering flames are warm and welcoming, until you touch them.

The man in the fire is impervious to the burning touch and relentless in his pursuit of Daniel.

How could you fight something like that?

That’s what I kept thinking as I read this story.

The answer is breathtaking, just like the fire. Sucking your breathe out of your body and shocking your senses.

The story starts at the final confrontation and gives you the back story as you read along.

I felt for Daniel and if I was in his shoes, I would probably do what he did.

For such a short story, I did a lot of thinking. That’s a sign of good writing. Taking something implausible and making you believe it, feel it, and contemplate it.

Well done, Brian.

As she sits at her dying grandfather’s bedside, Amanda is told an incredible tale.  But are these disturbing revelations of his life merely the addled fabrications of a cancer-ridden mind, or is there any truth to his frightening claim that a dark and menacing figure has been roaming the land all these many years.

In the six years Allan has owned his house, it has never been even remotely haunted. But after his wife is startled by an unknown noise, he begins to notice very strange activity throughout the house. At first, he’s excited by the idea of a ghostly visitor, but his enthusiasm quickly turns to dread as he realizes that his phantom guest has also begun to notice him.

For today I’ll be telling you about The Devil’s Walk

by Brian Harmon

The Devil's Walk

goodreads-badge-add-plus

Carl Delsh is dying. He’s lived a long time and he’s ready to join his love who went 20 years ago.

His granddaughter and great granddaughter sit vigil as his time draws near.

In one of his last lucid moments, he tells his granddaughter, Amanda, about the tall man with long white hair who murdered his best friend Lonnie so many years ago.

This would be the perfect story to tell late at night, sitting in the woods, surrounded by trees, and the only light comes from the sputtering fire you sit around.

You’d be looking over your shoulder, squinting into the darkness.

Did something linger in the dark? Is someone peering back at you?

You’d be waiting from someone to yell Boo! You’d just want the suspense to end.

That’s how this story unfolds. Slowly gaining momentum and building in suspense.

This is not a ghost story. It’s a cautionary tale. And a really creepy one.

Strange noises. Phantom footsteps. Wrapping on the walls. Ear blasting shrieks. And a closet door that won’t stay closed.

This and more is happening at Allen and Selena’s house.

At first, they put it off as the house settling. But as more strange things happen, they have to face facts.

For some reason. after all the years they’ve lived in their house, it is haunted.

Whatever is haunting them is getting stronger, more territorial, and dangerous.

Something has to give.

I know what I’d do. I’d be out of there.

I’m not easily scared, but I don’t think I could handle what happens in this house.

Something that can reach out from beyond and hurt you is not to be messed with.

As the entity got stronger and more vicious, my shoulders tightened up, my head drew in to my shoulders, my elbows tucked snug against my body, and I braced myself as I kept on reading.

 The author had me connecting with Allen and Selena , wondering why in the world they didn’t just leave. I was afraid each time I turned a page that the worst was waiting for me.

So much dread from so few words. I recommend you read this after dark, preferably on a stormy night. It’s meant to scare you and the mood should be set. Just keep a flashlight handy. Wouldn’t want to be left sitting in the dark.

What’s that noise? Nope, sitting in the dark, our mind will imagine all kinds of things. Is the closet door closed?

I was very lucky and got this as a free download. Thanks Brian. I can’t think of a better way to discover new authors.

For today I’ll be telling you about Hummingbirds

by William Sharp 

Hummingbirds

goodreads-badge-add-plus

John and Carley have found the perfect getaway.

When Carley spotted the rustic cabin for sale on-line, there was no stopping her.

The idealic little cabin with its panoramic view of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado was an escape after the noise and stress of New York.

Still very much in love after six years of marriage, they are quite happy with just each other for company.

While enjoying his morning cup of coffee and the breathtaking scenery, John’s peace is shattered when he sees Carley stumble out of the brush and collapse.

She’s rushed to the CDC’s Genetic Displacement Lab, where she comes to and is able to tell what happened to her on her morning walk.

A hummingbird had attacked her. She knew immediately it was one of them, and hurried to get to the cabin before the symptoms overtook her.

The first thing that caught my attention was what could a little old hummingbird do to cause such distress.

Well, these aren’t really hummingbirds, they are just labeled as such because they look similar to them.

These things are actually hatched from meteorites that made it through our atmosphere and landed in various locations.

They are indiscriminate creatures, attacking men, women, children, and animals, injecting their victims with something.

If that’s not creepy enough, their injections cause irreversible changes.

A really good horror story is one where you have a real connection to the characters and are concerned for their well-being.

In this case, I just hated what might happen to these two. The author had me connect and like them immediately, so I felt sadness for Carley and John. I wanted to go back and change what happened.

The author had all of the power and wielded it well. I was completely hooked right to the bitter end.

If you like horror and science fiction, I recommend you read Hummingbirds.

It has a lasting impression.

The term Trochilidae isn’t what these creatures are called. It’s the latin word for hummingbird and I just used it for my title because it sounded alien!

Welcome to My Monday Minis.

This is where I review very short stories and flash fiction.

For today I’ll be telling you about Morning Warning

by A.M. Sawyer 

Morning Warning

goodreads-badge-add-plus

I’m not sure if this would be categorized as suspense, horror, or paranormal. I would say all three as it has some of each.

Young Anthony drags himself out of bed and gets ready for school. It’s Friday and one week closer to the summer break.

After the usual race to beat his older sister, Rachel, to the bathroom, which he lost, and the fight over the TV remote with his big brother, Alex, which he also lost, it’s time to meet the school bus.

As usual, his sister and brother leave him at the door and he runs to catch up with them.

As they wait for the bus, Anthony notices how quiet it is, how still it is. He looks back up the long driveway to his house and sees the heavy green clouds. They cover the sky, hanging low to the ground.

Living in a tornado prone area, he’s so used to the tornado sirens going off all the time, he wonders if he should be worried by this calm. There are no sirens, but he becomes uneasy, then fearful. He really wants to go back to his house.

The author’s description of the weather is dead on. I’ve been through a few tornadoes, and how he describes the greenish clouds and the sense of foreboding they cause, brought back some vivid memories.

tornados photo: TORNADO_MENACING grassnclouds.jpg

The family dynamics, with the older brother and sister teasing their little brother rings true. I am the youngest of six and was at my older siblings mercy.

As the weather takes an ominous turn, the author creates a sense of apprehension, of fear. It builds just like the storm does.

Morning Warning made me shiver.

Though a short story, the writing is powerful, and the author gave me quite a surprise with the conclusion.

I’m not sure what I was expecting, but the ending was a twister!

Welcome to My Monday Minis.

For today I’ll be telling you about Level 9 Paranoia

by Peter Rosch

Level 9 Paranoia: Shortish Ramblings of a Self-Diagnosed Schizo

goodreads-badge-add-plus

I don’t normally use the blurbs for a book. I like to write my own.

In this case, I couldn’t resist using it. You’ll see!

~~~

Think everyone’s out to get you? You aren’t alone. Or are you? Either way, you’ll get no argument from Peter Rosch. Take an exciting–albeit brief–ride in the clown car that is Rosch’s mind, where you’ll discover how some of life’s most only-seemingly mundane happenings could spiral quickly out of control. Bake sale brownies, NYC cabbies, folks in need of aide, flying First Class, and more–it could all be the end of you. Rosch has taken it upon himself to map it out for those of us who lack the natural ability to see all the disturbing possibilities that exist when you live with Level 9 Paranoia.

My Review

“Too twisted for color TV.”

I love being able to use that quote and it fits the bill with Level 9 Paranoia.

If you think you might be paranoid, you probably are.

Have you ever had that feeling like someone is watching you, the hair on the back of your neck stands up, you break out in goosebumps, and your heart races? Maybe someone is, or maybe you’re just being paranoid.

Read these scenarios and you’ll never feel safe again.

A little paranoia is a good thing, but too much and everything looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

Now that I’ve entered the mind of Peter Rosch, I’m worried whether I’ll find my way out again.

paranoia photo: paranoia paranoia.jpg

The Exit sign is lit, but what’s on the other side?

To fly or not to fly?

A stranded motorist or a psychopath?

Peter takes normal, everyday occurrences and twists them so you are imagining the worst case scenario.

I’m wondering what could happen now that I’ve read the book!

See, paranoia is contagious.

About the author

Peter Rosch

Peter Rosch is what happens when a Polish drag racing varsity bowler and a beautiful but über paranoid French Canadian Air Force brat get together on a disco dance floor in glorious Albuquerque, NM. He’s a recovering alcoholic who favors the run-on sentence – the one thing for which he offers no apologies. Fifteen years in NYC as an award winning writer, creative director, and commercial director in advertising has left him moderately famous in an industry filled with the very best kind of people, lunatics. His commercial work for Levi’s, AXE, Rolling Stone Magazine, and more is polarizing, and you either hate it or love it because you’ve definitely seen it. When he isn’t writing ads, penning entries for his blog LEVEL 9 PARANOIA, outlining ideas for new books, or performing as his alter ego, Joey Jo Jo, in NYC’s most prolific douche rock band The Future, you will most likely find him playing fetch with his cat Target. Yes, his cat plays fetch.
