 Murderous Little Darlings

by John Hennessy

Genre:  Horror

My Review

Whenever kids are involved in a horror story it makes things extra creepy for me. Make them vampires, and even creepier.

Three siblings go on a killing spree. How could such young ones even do that? And get away with it? That’s an even bigger question.

This book sucked me right in. It’s fast paced with no wasted words. I kept wondering, are they really vampires. That would explain how they could do what they did. Vampires or not, they acted like any other siblings. Fighting among themselves but also protecting each other when it was needed. They felt very genuine.

Murderous Little Darlings was one I couldn’t put down. It’s a short read with a big bite and I started and finished it in one sitting. I sure liked it.

Synopsis

Three siblings. An endless list of victims. A whole lot of time to kill.

With two specimens of the undead on either side of her, Juliana knew there was no escape. Kill the one they had selected for her, or be killed, and become one of them. What had the neighbours in the road called them, back when their childhood pranks were just that?

Oh yes, she remembered now. Murderous Little Darlings. They had the faces of angels, but possessed the very soul of the Devil.

Marcus had fully embraced his vampire side from the moment he was born. Rocco was the second eldest, and had fought the temptation all of his life. Then Marcus finally broke him.

That just left Juliana. Will she resist them, or join in the hunt?

Buried
by Sian B. Claven
Genre: Horror
 

Home is where the heart is … or the hatred.

You can feel the love and care someone puts into their home just by
walking into it. Equally, you can feel the hatred and malice when you
step into a home where dark deeds have been done.
Alex and his team of so-called paranormal investigators are given the
opportunity of a lifetime when they are able to film inside one of
the most haunted, and cursed, locations in their area.
The Jackson Mansion.
The thing that makes this mansion truly unique is that it
is built completely underground. Determined to uncover the dark
secrets of the mansion’s past, and prove himself a notable
investigator, Alex doesn’t care what it takes. The mansion, however,
has other ideas, as well as some rather restless occupants.
 
 
Born in South Africa, in the heart of Johannesburg, Sian Claven grew up
with a vivid imagination. When she wasn’t immersing herself in books,
she was actively creating her own stories.
At 29 years old,
left to her own devices after her sister immigrated, Sian, wrote her
first horror book Ensnared and dared to publish it under the guidance
of indie authors Toni Cox and Ashleigh Giannaccaro.
Now she has released more than ten books including a thriller and sci-fi fantasy.
In 2019, Sian took up the challenge of publishing 11 books in 11 months.
Sian came second place in the First Annual Indie Awards for Favourite African Author.
Sian’s book, Sylvana, the final book in her Butcher series, made the Amazon top
100 best sellers list in several categories across three countries.
In her spare time, Sian is an avid Harry Potter
fan, pop collector and Bingo addict. She resides in Johannesburg with
her 2 best friends, their daughter, their 6 dogs and 2 cats.

 Bane County: Returning Moon

Bane County #2

by J R Rice

36160061. sx318

Genre:  Horror

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

I loved the first book and couldn’t wait to see where this would take me. It’s been almost twenty years since the horrific events and Bryce and Jackson have grown up and settled into their lives. But, they’ve not forgotten what happened and are getting ready for what’s to come.

The author did such a great job with these characters. Bryce and Jackson feel like the adult’s they’ve become, haunted by the past and fearing the future. Once again I worried about their survival. The beast was awakening and they must again do battle against a deadly, almost unstoppable foe.

This was even crazier than the first book. There was more than one evil the guys had to deal with and the action scenes were bloody mayhem. I really liked how things from the past were explained. It made me love the good guys even more and I hoped for a bad ending for the evil participants in this story.

Many side characters again made appearances and several played key roles in the battles. Sure made things interesting and ramped up the excitement and suspense.

I couldn’t have asked for more in this continuation in the series and already have the next book lined up.

Synopsis

For nearly two decades, life in the small rural town of Silver Canyon had been peaceful and serene. People went about their daily lives as usual, completely oblivious to the inescapable horror that loomed on the horizon.

All but a select few of Bane County’s residents had forgotten the macabre occurrences of the past. It was hard to believe that twenty-one people, missing or dead, in only three months’ time had been so easily dismissed.

Bryce McNeel and Jackson Campbell had been at the heart of those horrific events, and the tragic memories of that long, bloody season still weighed heavily on them, especially since they knew it wasn’t over.

The time was quickly approaching when a long-slumbering evil would reawaken, and the horrors of the past would revisit the people of Bane County. Somewhere within the dark cavernous depths of the wildlife refuge, something ravenous awaited, longing for its time to rise.

As Bryce and Jackson prepared themselves, they were unaware that an even deadlier adversary would come for them, and once again, they would find themselves in a battle for their lives.

 Bane County: Forgotten Moon

Bane County #1

by J R Rice

30521395. sx318

Genre:  Horror / Thriller

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

I was browsing for something scary to read and happened to come across this book. Juts look at that cover. Wanting to know more, I read the synopsis. An isolated little town in a National Wildlife Refuge. Mutilated bodies and missing people. A legend from the past. All of these pinged my radar as a good fit. Oh, and the werewolf. Just look at the cover and you’ll see what I mean.

Right from the beginning the writing pulled me in. The characters were brought to life. Bryce and his cousin, Jackson, were typical teens on the cusp of adulthood. Close as brothers, they had each other’s backs. A brutal killing too close to home had them worried And then a near death experience with something monstrous pushed them to dig for answers. To find out what was lurking in the woods.

There were so many scenes that raised the hairs on the back of my neck. The suspense was huge. I just knew things were going to go horribly wrong. People were going to continue to die. My worry for Bryce and Jackson and their families made the reading so intense. I was afraid to continue but couldn’t stop. Often enough authors kill off their characters. I was really hoping that wouldn’t happen with these.

About that werewolf. Now that was one nasty beast. It liked to play with it’s food. And it was sentient. Not just a monster.  I can’t think of much that is scarier than a huge creature, darn near unstoppable, being able to think, to plan and stalk. How do you fight that?

I love a wicked werewolf story. And I like to read horror stories at night when the house is quiet and the only light is the glow from my reading lamp on the headboard of my bed. As soon as I finished this, I got out of bed, opened up my computer and grabbed the next book. I couldn’t wait to continue with this series.

Synopsis

The large river-island of Bane County has a troubled past; but some histories are eagerly forgotten, especially those written in blood.

Nestled into the foothills of the National Wildlife Refuge, the small rural town of Silver Canyon seems idyllic to most; but a long-slumbering evil is about to reawaken.

Seventeen-year-old Bryce McNeel is your average teenage boy, living on a cattle ranch with his grandparents. Well, average genius, but he prefers to keep that fact to himself, no one likes a know-it-all.

When Bryce learns of a series of grisly deaths and mutilations that occurred decades earlier, his curiosity gets the better of him. Together with his cousin Jackson, Bryce sets out to learn more about the macabre event; but as they delve deeper into the history and legends of Bane County, the two boys are horrified by what they find.

Unfortunately, history has a way of repeating itself.

As friends and neighbors begin to go missing, or worse, they find themselves embroiled in a battle for their young lives.

 House Of Skin

by Jonathan Janz

42789388

Genre:  Horror / Paranormal

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

It wasn’t that long ago that I discovered Jonathan Janz and quickly devoured several of his books. House of Skin has another chilling, gorgeous cover and dark and mysterious title. After reading the synopsis I knew I wanted to read it.

So, what can I tell you about this book? I went in curious and it didn’t immediately grab me. That’s okay. I don’t always have to be mesmerized by an opening.  And then I met some very unlikable characters. That’s also okay. I’ve read many books where I didn’t like the characters. Makes it much more interesting when things go sideways. I was starting to wonder if this just wasn’t one for me. But, not one to be able to leave a story unread, I continued on. You just never know what might be coming. Then, it started to get real interesting. Real crazy. And there was the Janz story I was hoping for.

House Of Skin might have taken it’s time hooking me, but when the teeth sunk in, they had a big bite.

For nearly half a century she was responsible for a nightmarish reign of terror, and she’s not prepared to stop now. She is hungry to live again…and her unsuspecting nephew, Paul, will be the key. Julia Merrow has a secret almost as dark as Watermere’s. But when she and Paul fall in love they think their problems might be over. How can they know what Fate–and Annabel–have in store for them? Who could imagine that what was once a moldering corpse in a forest grave is growing stronger every day, eager to take her rightful place amongst the horrors of Watermere?

 Sleep In The Dust Of The Earth

by Anthony Hains

44132464. sx318

Genre:  Horror / Novella

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

 

My Review

Sometimes. I will grab a book Just because of the cover Just look at it. Reminds me of the old school horror covers I couldn’t get enough of back in the day. Who am I kidding. I still can’t get enough of them.

So, the setting is a huge, creepy mansion. I’m always up for that The beginning is a family gathering to say goodbye to dearly departed Gretchen. Is Gretchen so dearly? What I gleaned from the synopsis is, probably not.

I read a lot of horror and throwing kids into the mix always makes it extra creepy. They don’t see the repercussions of their actions. Or do they? Are Gretchen’s grandkids just curious when they start dabbling in the occult? Are they being guided? I soon learned these kids were warped way before they came to the mansion and discovered Gretchen’s secrets.

Another thing I enjoy in horror is the shorter stories. I appreciate how hard it is to set up a story, breathe life into the characters and then try to scare the pants off ya. This is about 100 pages and packs a mean punch. The gloves are off and it gets pretty dark and a few things really had me sitting back thinking whoa. And after I finished this little gem I was thinking, if this short story unsettled me this much, I wonder what the author could do to me with a longer one.

Synopsis

Sometimes they come back angry …

Ace’s life is satisfying in an ordinary sort of way. At twenty-five he’s deeply in love with his wife of two years, and he and Runa are expecting their first child. But when Ace’s mother-in-law passes away after a short illness, things take a turn for the weird.

Everyone in the family knows that Gretchen dabbled in the occult prior to her death, inviting friends over for occasional tarot card readings and séances. What most of them don’t know is that she spent a considerable amount of time training her grandchildren in the art of the uncanny. Now Brinn and Oliver appear to be experimenting with strange rituals—rituals linked to increasingly disturbing events.

To get a handle on what’s happening, Ace and Runa begin investigating Gretchen’s explorations into the supernatural. But it will take time, and a shocking series of developments, for them to discover how high the stakes are for their growing family.

Payback’s a Witch
by Breanna Hayse
Genre: Horror
 
Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned– but when that woman is a witch,
hell is nothing but a tropical vacation.
I’ve been summoned to pronounce sentence on the men who have conned, lied,
deceived, stolen or abused my worldly sisters. The time of laughing
in the face of justice is over for, at least, one such man. His sins
have been exposed and when he attempts to place me on his list of
victims, he discovers that he made a fatal error.
An eternity of suffering is nothing compared to the fate I have in mind
for him as he realizes there’s no escape from the truth. The question
remains: how high a price should be paid to heal the pain he caused?
**Get it FREE Oct 27th – 31st!!**
 
 
BDSM/AP lifestyler Breanna Hayse strives to give her readers truth and
reality of the BDSM/Age-Play/Total Power and Erotic Exchange lifestyle.
Who am I?
I’m a native Californian gone ‘wild’, and had the opportunity to travel
the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine
Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to
go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a
marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative
lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique
inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable
characters.
In 2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both
submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving.
Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and
mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.
My first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door
to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time,
I’ve devoted my ‘spare’ time to writing, researching, community
involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant
behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.
I was formally ‘dungeon trained’ as a Domme before discovering my
submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled
primarily from either personal experience or observation, including
spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My
multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and
give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of
fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of
the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on
‘the real deal.’
I live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and
two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S
relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear),
and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies
include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John
can’t find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and
developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured
author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a
Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.

20 Tales Of Giant Creature Terror

Edited by Ryan C. Thomas

Genre:  Horror / Anthology

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

I’m not sure how I got my hands on this one but I do know that wicked cover sealed the deal even before I clutched it in my greedy hands.

I ate this stuff up. All kinds of giant creatures mucking about. As with a lot of collections, some were okay, and some were wicked good. I’m not going to play favorites. but several stories in here have me adding some new authors to my must read list.

Fans of creature features will have fun with these like I did. They are short stories so character development is limited, but some authors did a bang up job with that. And it is about giant creatures that couldn’t possibly really exist. At least, I hope not. I had some fun, flinched a few times and came out at the end happy to have browsed through these.

 Where The Dead Go To Die

by Aaron Dries and Mark Allan Gunnells

33016821. sy475

Genre:  Horror

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

It’s years after the infection started. The smilers are no longer hunted and killed on sight. Instead, they are tended to in facilities, allowed to spend remaining days with as much dignity as possible. Care givers tend to their needs until their last breath.

Emily is one of those care givers. She’s there to help them, give comfort and support, and protect them from others and themselves. She thinks she’s an ordinary woman. A single mother trying to make ends meet. I think she is brave. There’s still a risk of infection if careless. She watches as the night screams fade and the patients change. become the smilers, right before the end. Doesn’t shy from the dirty work. She’s already been through it on a much more personal level.

Where The Dead Go To Die is what I call a quiet horror story. It’s those hushed little scenes in between the ordinary ones that make the most impact. I know they have importance and stay in the back of mind, to be brought out later when the authors uncloak more.

I was so swept up in this story. The political machinations and moral ramifications bounced around in my head. The authors made me forget this was fiction and made me really think, Think how I would navigate this world, How I would feel about the smilers. Whether I might be one of those I looked down upon in the story or one of those I looked up to. How could I know? That questioning was very deep. Several times I actually stopped reading to contemplate what I’d just experienced.

And all through this quiet horror story, I knew bad things were coming. The quiet would be shattered by things horrific. The infrastructure would crumble. Things wouldn’t be contained. And the horror would become a roar.

This was an original and engrossing spin on zombie stories. I came away from it thinking I had to see what else these two authors had written. And I’m still catching myself thinking about what occurred in these pages.

Synopsis

There are monsters in this world. And they used to be us. Now it’s time to euthanize to survive in a hospice where Emily, a woman haunted by her past, only wants to do her job and be the best mother possible.

Post-infection Chicago. Christmas.

Inside The Hospice, Emily and her fellow nurses do their rounds. Here, men and women live out their final days in comfort, segregated from society, and are then humanely terminated before fate turns them into marrow-craving monsters known as ‘Smilers.’ Outside these imposing walls, rabid protesters swarm with signs, caught up in the heat of their hatred.

Emily, a woman haunted by her past, only wants to do her job and be the best mother possible. But in a world where mortality means nothing, where guns are drawn in fear and nobody seems safe anymore – at what cost will this pursuit come? And through it all, the soon to be dead remain silent, ever smiling. Such is their curse.

This emotional, political novel comes from two of horror’s freshest voices, and puts a new spin on an eternal topic: the undead. In the spirit of George A Romero meets Jack Ketchum, Where the Dead Go to Die it is an unforgettable epilogue to the zombie genre, one that will leave you shaken and questioning right from wrong…even when it’s the only right left.

It won’t be long before that snow-speckled ground will be salted by blood.

I’ve been struggling on how to write my review for this. So much I can’t tell. There are a few different POVs to follow and I did get a bit confused there. Other than those bumps in the road, I couldn’t put this down. It had a brooding, dream like quality to the telling.

I’m all for books with an isolated setting and anticipated some hard times for these characters. Hard was putting it mildly. Whether reading about the past events or current ones, they were in for a world of hurt. Medwyn Hill could put Dracula’s castle to shame for dark and dreary. Just getting there was treacherous. Those cold walls oozed evil and finding out it’s secrets could get you killed.

Teeth In The Mist is a book you need to set time aside to read. There’s a lot to take in and I couldn’t figure out where the story was going. The eerier it got, the more I was compelled to read. The more tangled and mangled the mystery, the more I had to know.

And the ending, or endings, have me still thinking.

Synopsis

Before the birth of time, a monk uncovers the Devil’s Tongue and dares to speak it. The repercussions will be felt for generations…

Sixteen-year-old photography enthusiast Zoey has been fascinated by the haunted, burnt-out ruins of Medwyn Mill House for as long as she can remember–so she and her best friend, Poulton, run away from home to explore them. But are they really alone in the house? And who will know if something goes wrong?

In 1851, seventeen-year-old Roan arrives at the Mill House as a ward–one of three, all with something to hide from their new guardian. When Roan learns that she is connected to an ancient secret, she must escape the house before she is trapped forever.

1583. Hermione, a new young bride, accompanies her husband to the wilds of North Wales where he plans to build the largest water mill and mansion in the area. But rumors of unholy rituals lead to a tragic occurrence and she will need all her strength to defeat it.

Three women, centuries apart, drawn together by one Unholy Pact. A pact made by a man who, more than a thousand years later, may still be watching…
