Third Eye Redesigned

Casey faces a long, arduous recovery. Her near-death experience has left her with the loss of her human sight. It has also left her with abilities she never had before.

SCI Realigned

The Spirit Chasers are back, investigating the most haunted locations in America. After all, these ghosts aren’t going to cross themselves over. This season they take on the legendary Hillendahl Mansion and an abandoned psychiatric hospital, as well as homes with an evil and bloody history.

Investigation Rewind

Some places are too evil—Enchanted Hill should be left alone. Lurking in the background is a demonic entity they just can’t escape. If they brave it, they’re going to need every supernatural gift at their disposal to defeat an ancient evil that threatens to destroy them all.

He turns and looks at me, grabs my hand, and pulls me close to him. For a second, I thought he was either  going to headbutt me or kiss me. He was maybe two inches from my face, and he whispered, “I can see why she picked you.”

Welcome to the book tour for Zipline by P. Anthony Michael. Read on for my review!

.

Potter-Cover-Project-full-jpg-scaled

Zipline

Publication Date: June 2022

Genre: Thriller/ Suspense

If Gail knew Uncle Perkins’ stories were true, she wouldn’t have taken her friends up that mountain.

The plan was simple. Hike, camp, and ride the zipline back down the mountain. But Uncle Perkins’ stories are true, and the horrors are real. Now the simple plan is the only plan they have to get off that mountain or disappear, remaining there forever.

Zipline is an immediately gripping, fast-paced, unique story that will keep you entertained until the last sent

Available on Amazon

MY REVIEW

I have a bucket list and taking a ride on a zipline is on the list. After reading this book, I’m sure I’ll be imaging what scary things I’m rushing past as I zip along above the tree canopy.

Coming in at just 82 pages in my paperback copy, Zipline packs an eerie punch. The author managed to flesh out his characters too, and that’s no mean feat with so few pages.

There’s something strange happening at Finch Mountain. Nicknamed BEASTLY, that tag and an old man’s warning should have been enough to deter Gail and her friends. That old saying, “Curiosity Killed The Cat” turns out to be oh so true as they venture into the dark forest. And the second part of that saying, “Satisfaction Brought Them Back” proves not so true.

The action begins almost immediately and the story “zips” along. Will they get off the mountain? Who survives? Anyone? My curiosity was answered and what fun it was finding out.

Stolen Roads

by Randy Chandler

.

.

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

Genre: Horror

Synopsis

“It was like I was riding on a stolen road, like somebody’d just shanghaied the road and plopped it down in some foreign land.” Thus, “stolen roads” entered the esoteric lexicon of popular culture.

William Kidd’s travels on stolen roads begin when he’s a boy on leave from a psychiatric hospital and survives a car accident that kills both his parents.

Although hallucinations are nothing new to him, Kidd knows the otherworldly thing crouched on his dying father’s chest at the scene of the accident is no hallucination. Nothing in his mental inventory of the planet’s natural creatures jibes with this pebble-skinned thing nearly as big as a man, a terrifying beast with spiky shoulders and lizard-like snout, its long knobby limbs folded insect-fashion as if it might suddenly leap or fly away without warning.

The beast claws the boy’s face, giving him an indelible totem-mark scar he still wears as a young man when he goes on the road in search of the creatures he calls “trocs.”

Kidd soon meets the Fluckers, a married couple claiming to have happened upon a “lost road,” and they entice him to join them on an expedition to ride a suspect blacktop into what may be an alternate world.

When Kidd’s psych-hospital alumnus Rose Rivers the trippy earth-obsessed rock hound pops back into his life, she invites herself along on what she calls a trip to The Big Nowhere. Rounding out the team is Rita Younger: dive bar owner, former biker club member and acknowledged “badass babe.”

But The Big Nowhere is filled with otherworldly dangers. And the road home could be a dead end.

Buckle up and hit the road for a thrilling ride into the dark fantastic. A literary collision of horror and fantasy on the road to a new kind of hell.

I added this back in October 2019.

Another good one for my Horror Month list. I do love otherworldly scary beast stories.

A Terror Triptych

by Kasey Fallon

.

.

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

Genre: Horror

Synopsis

Three stories. One island. No hope.

A triptych ~ three parts of one whole, reflecting your worst fears.

The new boy in school is finally making friends. On an island with centuries-old secrets, the numerous missing persons flyers are the least of Ryley’s problems as vengeance blurs the lines between then and now in The Sleepover.

A sister goes to an insane asylum, caring for her sister after a disastrous incident. But strange moments lead to terror inside the ward as she realizes she might not be able to get back out. Can she escape being The Visitor forever?

Tai and his group of friends are on the perfect vacation; blue skies, perfect waves, and a beautiful island. The brochures didn’t mention how many people died or went missing there every year, but the locals know to never go into The Copse; a grove of trees where people vanish. When Tai is forced to enter the forest he’ll do anything to survive what’s coming for them.

A supernatural horror thriller
splattered with dark humor in the vein of Grady Hendrix (My Best Friend’s
Exorcism
), Stranger Things, Welcome to Night Vale, Supernatural, and
the Midnight, Texas series (Charlaine Harris), DOOR TO
DOOR, NIGHT BY NIGHT Vol. 1: A World Full of Monsters

impossible to close.

SALES PEOPLE BY DAY. MONSTER HUNTERS BY NIGHT.

It’s 1987, and the Heritage Mills sales team travels from town to town,
knocking on doors. They’re the best at what they do… which also means they’re
the worst. They’re broken, each and every one of them, haunted by closets so
full of skeletons, they’re bursting. When they discover a terrible secret
behind one fateful door, it opens their eyes to a world full of real monsters
hidden in every small town.

Knock, knock. What’s there? Open the door if you dare…

From all-star creators, writer Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Last Book
You’ll Ever Read
) and artist Sally Cantirino (I Walk With Monsters,
Human Remains
) comes the story of a motley crew going to battle against
supernatural evil throughout the American South.

For fans of the devilishly delicious blend of nostalgic horror and dark humor,
small town secrets, moonlight fright, Stranger Things, Welcome to Night
Vale,
 My Best Friend’s Exorcism, IT, Summer of Night, The
Pallbearer’s Club, The Autumnal, Proctor Valley Road, Gideon Falls, The Boys,
B.P.R.D.,
 and Something Is Killing the Children.

Volume 1 collects issues #1-4 of the smash 12-issue series!

terrifying world filled with monsters we could not imagine.” – Gatecrashers

“…this kind of horror storytelling … delivers across the board.” – The Fandom
Post

“A beautiful example of the merging of humor and horror.” – Gatecrashers

MY REVIEW

Supernatural horror. I’m in for that. And there’s plenty of it in this book. Along with a cast of nice and not so nice characters. And it’s filled with action displayed in colorful, awesome graphics.

A group of door to door sales people find so much more than just some customers who slam doors in their face. They discover that monsters are real. And this is where the story takes off. You know that scene where there’s a creepy house and you know they shouldn’t go near it? Well, this group of individuals don’t take the missing person’s posters plastered all over it seriously and they enter. Normally this would have me screaming, “Don’t you watch horror movies, guys?” But nope, I was all for finding out what was inside myself. And boy did they, and me. From then on it’s bloody good fun.

Do I want to read about these characters again? Yes. And the good news is there is more coming. Can’t wait.

MY REVIEW

Just, Whoa! I’m not sure what wowed me more. The bad guys or the really bad guys. The plot and the character’s background bits. The insane, gory action scenes. Or the visceral and almost too colorful graphics. Some of those violent fights…… ouch.

I love a good western. And I’m definitely in for the strange western. I fell down that rabbit hole, or should I say prairie dog hole, and didn’t find my way back out until the final word.

I have to hand it to the authors and illustrator. They had me liking characters that I probably shouldn’t, tugged at my heart a little, and gave me those monsters, human and other, that I can’t ever get enough of. And now I’m getting ready to read more and can’t wait to be wowed by these fine authors again.

MY REVIEW

Lupe is a girl lost. Wandering San Antonio alone in a world filled with monsters that have one agenda. To consume humans. Why is Lupe able to walk among these monsters safely? Will she ever find others who can also do this? Is anyone left?

I enjoyed Heart Eyes. It had a Lovecraftian vibe and I’m always up for that.  Lupe Had me curious. I wanted to know how she could do what she did.  How she would end up. So did someone else. They’d been watching her. Waiting to make their move. When they did, things got crazy.

I confess, the graphics were my favorite part. So many monsters. And some wild flight scenes. The story raced along, filling in details leading up to an ending that I saw coming but was satisfied with. Don’t get attached to some of the characters. After all, this is world of monsters and they are hungry.

Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.

 

This is a really fun meme!

The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.

Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!

My 56 for this week is from

The Broken Heart

  by N.J. Gallegos

Genre: Horror

From page 56 in the paperback.

With a mean glee, I watched the encounter play out. This was way better than reality TV.

“Ma’am, I think a child’s ear infection is much less important than someone shot in the chest. Take. A. Seat,” the reception said through gritted teeth.

Synopsis

Casey Philips has it all: a deadbeat husband, a psychopathic son, a beautiful newborn daughter, and catastrophic heart failure necessitating an organ transplant. When a serial killer becomes an unexpected organ donor, Casey gets a heart and a new lease on life.

But dark dreams plague the disgruntled housewife—visions of places she’s never been, chasing women she’s never met. Sometimes, Casey wakes up outside her kids’ rooms without realizing how she got there—knife in hand.

How far will a mother with a newly acquired taste for vengeance go to right the wrongs of an abusive husband, an increasingly violent son, and even her own sins? Only the heart knows what it truly wants.
