The Mouth Of The Dark

by Tim Waggoner

38607941

Genre:  Horror / Paranormal

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

Egads. That best describes my thoughts on this one. I knew from the description it was going to be out there, but this was such a strange read.

It all begins with a man searching for his daughter. That’s the only thing normal about this story. It quickly turns into a bizarre story of finding himself, plunging him into a strange world of demonic sex toys (AKA: Pink Demon) and just plain weird experiences.

Now, I’m not that squeamish. I can take gore, hideous death scenes and terrifying paranormal or supernatural elements. The author took me beyond that into a strange and shocking experience with character’s I struggled to warm up to. That would normally make this a three star read for me as long as the writing was good. It was good. Even the parts that made me flinch. What made it four stars for me was the fact I couldn’t stop reading it. I didn’t even skim past the parts that turned my stomach, scenes I shuddered to picture. I was compelled, held captive until I finished it.

As for the ending. Well, it was an interesting one.

Did I enjoy it? Yes. Even though it made me squirm, my curiosity wouldn’t let me stop reading it. Would I recommend it? Yes. To those who enjoy the darker side in their reading experience.

Synopsis

Jayce’s twenty-year-old daughter Emory is missing, lost in a dark, dangerous realm called Shadow that exists alongside our own reality. An enigmatic woman named Nicola guides Jayce through this bizarre world, and together they search for Emory, facing deadly dog-eaters, crazed killers, homicidal sex toys, and – worst of all – a monstrous being known as the Harvest Man. But no matter what Shadow throws at him, Jayce won’t stop. He’ll do whatever it takes to find his daughter, even if it means becoming a worse monster than the things that are trying to stop him.

The Monster Museum

Ellie Jordan: Ghost Trapper #10

  by J.L. Bryan

37880825

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

Genre: Fantasy . Paranormal / Horror

From 56% in the eBook.

A tiny black bird, small enough to perch on my thumbnail, stood in a nest of moonstones and small sapphires. It whistled a song while flapping its wings, bobbing its head, and opening and closing its beak, hopping and turning in an amazing impression of a live animal.

When it was done, it lay down in it’s nest and the round lid of the box closed over it.

I love music boxes. I still have one with the little ballerina spinning on a mirror. Remember that one? I’m thinking there may be more to this one. Sounds almost magical.

I love this series and hope it never ends. LOL Have you read any of the books?

For those who haven’t started this fantastic series yet, the first book is free.

Synopsis

Just outside the small but colorful mountain resort town of Foxboro, Tennessee lies Dr. Weirdman’s Mountain Museum of Monsters, Curiosities, and Ancient Mysteries. Once a major tourist attraction, it offers travelers the amusement of touring unusual underground caves and pseudo-scientific exhibits ranging from strange creatures to the supposed artifacts of lost civilizations.

Now the museum is a crumbling relic of an older age, fallen into disrepair. Its longtime owner has died, leaving it in the hands of a younger distant relative who knows nothing of how to run a failing tourist trap of a museum, but who is desperate to make a living and provide for his own children.

The museum has a serious ghost problem, though, and Ellie Jordan is called in from Savannah to help. An unexpected old friend joins Ellie at the last moment so that they can spend a snow-filled Christmas together in the mountains…if the ghosts of the restless dead don’t turn the holidays into a horrific tragedy.

Do you enjoy reading about hauntings? I sure do. Have a huge stack of books to share in October.

I was thrilled to receive this ARC of The Siren And The Specter by Jonathan Janz provided by Flame Tree Press. A beautiful book with thick pages and a spectacular cover.

The Siren And The Specter

by Jonathan Janz

38608066

Genre: Horror

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

I can’t resist a haunted house tale and this had all of the ingredients required to keep me glued to the story. There was the curiosity. The kind that killed the cat. There was  the atmosphere heavy with dread. And multiple cases of mysterious activities.

And I love a skeptic. David Caine is the perfect example. He refuses to believe what is happening right before his eyes. Reminds me of the movie, Room 1408. The main character, played by John Cusack, cannot allow himself to believe something is really happening and suffers for it. Big time.

The author fleshes out his characters, starts the build up of suspense through some serious hair raising atmosphere, and then lets the spook out. And he provides more than one haunting. What’s in the house is big and bad. What haunts the grounds is just as deadly. Some serious twists and ulterior motives going on too. Never a dull moment with this one.

Did I enjoy this book. Oh, yeah! Would I recommend it? Very much!

Synopsis

When David Caine, a celebrated skeptic of the supernatural, is invited by an old friend to spend a month in “the most haunted house in Virginia,” he believes the case will be like any other. But the Alexander House is different. Built by a 1700s land baron to contain the madness and depravity of his eldest son, the house is plagued by shadows of the past and the lingering taint of bloodshed. David is haunted, as well. For twenty-two years ago, he turned away the woman he loved, and she took her life in sorrow. And David suspects she’s followed him to the Alexander House.

Thirteen Days By Sunset Beach

by Ramsey Campbell

39674562

Genre:  Horror

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

I was intrigued by the synopsis for this book. Dove in all excited. But I stumbled right out of the gate. The writing felt a bit bumpy and the plot felt slow. I also didn’t care much for the characters. I persevered and got quite a good read after the bumpy start.

While this moved slowly and didn’t really scare me, it had plenty of atmosphere. And once my imagination kicked into gear it had me turning the pages to see if I was correct about what was actually occurring and to see the outcome.

I’m thinking I would have enjoyed this more as a movie.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes, after it got going. Would I read this author again? Yep. Even though it didn’t wow me, I still had a good read.

Synopsis

It’s Ray’s and Sandra’s first family holiday in Greece, on the newly developed island of Vasilema. The family weren’t to know that the skies are cloudier above the island than anywhere else in Greece, and they’re mostly intrigued by the local eccentricities and customs—the lack of mirrors, the outsize beach umbrellas, the saint’s day celebrated with an odd nocturnal ritual. Only why are there islanders who seem to follow the family wherever they go? Why do Sandra and the teenage grandchildren have strangely similar dreams? “I was in this huge place with no light and I didn’t want to see. Something sounded… huge.” And has Sandra been granted a wish she didn’t even know she made? Before their holiday is over, some of the family may learn more than they can bear about the secret that keeps the island alive…

Rattus, New Yorkus
One Size Eats All #2
by Hunter Shea
Genre: Horror 
 
They’re Bigger
Deep in the sewers of New York City, the rat population is growing. Dr.
Randolph Finch is determined to break the cycle. His new rodenticide,
Degenesis, doesn’t kill rats. It sterilizes them from reproducing.
But nothing adapts faster than a New York rat . . .
They’re Smarter
City exterminators and soon-to-be divorced Chris and Benita Jackson think
they know how these rats think. They know how rats breed. And they
fear that Degenesis has only made these rats stronger. More
aggressive. More intelligent. And more ravenous than ever . . .
Tonight’s Dinner Special: Us
After a noticeable surge in rat den activity, the Jacksons witness
something strange. Without warning, the rats disappear—only to
reassemble in a massive lair beneath Grand Central Station. Millions
upon millions of them. Working together. Operating as a hive mind.
Feasting on the flesh of the homeless below—and planning their
all-out attack on the unsuspecting humans above . . .
Raves for The Montauk Monster

My Review
.

It’s never a dull moment with Hunter’s newest series and I wondered when he’d get around to rats. He wastes no time bringing on the horror.

Exterminators and divorced couple, Chris and Bonita, Benny for short, can’t help but notice the rats are acting peculiar. Normally aggressive when cornered, the rats are actually working together and attacking in packs. It soon becomes complete chaos as they multiply and swarm from the sewers to attack in the streets. The city isn’t prepared. How can anyone be. And it may be too late to stop them.

I always appreciate how this author can create three dimensional characters with so little words. I can picture them so easily with just a sentence or two. But, I know better than to get too attached. You never know who he’ll kill off.

Once the character’s are introduced and the plot is set in motion, it’s ooey gooey fun right to the bloody end. Another winner by Hunter Shea.

I just got my hands on the third book in Hunter’s One Size Eats All series, The Devil’s Fingers. The title gives me scary good vibes.

My Review
.

It’s only some little iguana’s. How bad can it be? Lots. These guys are emerging in record numbers and they aren’t afraid of us. What if there are larger ones? There are. Of course there are. It’s a Hunter Shea book, after all.

The poor little Florida town and it’s inhabitants are reduced to rubble and red smears on the ground once these monsters tear forth from underground. It’s all stompin, rompin, bloody good fun. Just look at the terrific cover and you get the idea.

We’re introduced to the characters. Come to connect with some of them. But, wait for it. Hunter is known for killing off his character’s and these iguana’s need to eat, a lot. So don’t get too attached.

The only niggle I had was the ending felt rushed. The carnage ended so quickly. Would have liked a bit more about it.

The first in a new creature series from Hunter and I can’t wait to see what he brings us next.

Praise for John Carpenter and Sandy King’s Work
 
“It shares plenty of common ground with Hellblazer and even Robin Furth and Peter David’s Dark Tower series, adding in its own intriguing blend of fatalism and Catholic guilt. With the odd flourish of light relief to temper the weird, Asylum is the best horror comic you’ve never read.” ―Starburst magazine

Adrift

Adrift #1

by K R Griffiths

23637114

Genre:  Horror / Paranormal

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

Newlywed’s Dan and Elaine are on a honeymoon cruise. They’re starting a new life together and hoping that Dan can make more headway dealing with his agoraphobia. It sounds romantic and hopeful. Now, this is the author’s cue to toss in the monkey wrench. Dan sees what appears to be a body being tossed overboard. That mystery soon takes a back seat when a mysterious container is dropped on board and out pours things more fiendish than his phobia could dream up.

Putting a bunch of people in a life threatening situation with nowhere to run is a favorite scenario for me. I enjoy trying to guess who steps up to the plate, who tucks tail and runs and who becomes part of the menu.  There’s plenty of character’s to choose from and with only a few I actually was pulling for, that left a bunch as appetizers.

Adrift would be a killer movie.  A whole lot of runnin and screamin and good old horror on the high seas. I ate it up.

Synopsis

For artist Dan Bellamy and his new bride Elaine, a trip on the world’s biggest, newest cruise ship represents more than just the honeymoon of a lifetime: it is also a celebration of the progress Dan has made toward beating the agoraphobia that has plagued him since he suffered a horrific knife attack two years earlier.

The ship is a perfect floating paradise, but when Dan spots what he thinks is a body being thrown overboard, he begins to suspect that not everybody aboard the Oceanus is there for a vacation.

Soon, Dan will discover that there are some things worse than murder, and the body he saw is just the beginning. Because something is coming for the passengers on the Oceanus.

Something that isn’t supposed to exist…

Today I’m thrilled to share Creature by Hunter Shea. It’s his brand new release and one I would definitely recommend to ya’ll.

Creature

  by Hunter Shea

38608020

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

Genre: Horror

My Review

I’ve read many of Hunter’s books. I’ve enjoyed some of his shorter work and several of his full length novels. While I’ve come to expect and eat up his campy horror, I was curious to see how this would go as it appears to be on the more serious side. I’m happy to report that he wrote something above and beyond what I could have asked for.

I couldn’t decide which was more horrific. The physical affliction that tortured Kate’s and Andrew’s lives or the supernatural one. It was very difficult to read about Kate’s quality of life. What those two struggled with each and every day was tough to contemplate. And Hunter took me inside each character’s head to reveal their brutally honest feelings of anguish, fear and resentment.  This made them live and breath for me.

When the supernatural element came in to play I reminded myself this was one of Shea’s books and braced myself for every which way but loose He’s quite creative at and willing to kill off any of his characters. It got very crazy very fast. And I loved the setting. A cottage tucked away in the woods. No neighbors for miles. The perfect setting for some scary stuff.

Be sure to read the Afterword Hunter Shea provides at the end of the book. It explains how he wrote his characters so genuinely and how difficult it was for him to write this book. It made me appreciate the story even more.

 Did I love the book? Yes. Would I recommend it? You know it.

Dusk of Humanity
The Decay of Humanity Series: Book 1
by M.K. Dawn
Genre: SciFi Thriller, Horror 
 
An asteroid brought about the destruction of the world…in a way no one
thought possible.
After the death of her parents, Sloan Egan left their Montana ranch
determined to make a difference in the world. Now a prominent surgeon
with an exceptional career in her future, life has turned out exactly
as she expected. Until a government summons arrives with an order to
report to Fort Hood for a top-secret weekend retreat.
Major Lee Archer’s reassignment as head of military operations at The
Bunker felt more like a prison sentence than a promotion. To make
matters worse, he’s been assigned to babysitting detail, as a group
of the country’s most brilliant young minds come together to test
the vitality of the cutting-edge fallout shelter he commands.
But the retreat was nothing more than a ploy. One devised to safeguard
the future of humanity, as a catastrophic event renders the world
above uninhabitable.
Or so they’ve been led to believe.
Those in charge have a secret. One so horrifying they would do anything to
keep it concealed. Because what lurks beyond The Bunker is deadlier
than anyone could have ever imagined.
And it’s only a matter of time before it finds a way in.
 
 
As a lifetime reader, M.K. Dawn always dreamed about becoming a writer.
Then one day an idea came to her and then a story; so she started to
write. And when she started to write, she couldn’t stop. Not only
does she love to write fantasy, paranormal and dystopia books she can
almost always be found with her nose buried deep in them as well.
M.K. lives in South Texas with her husband and two children. When she
isn’t writing, she is reading, watching her favorite TV shows or
dreaming about sitting on a beach somewhere.

The Haunted Forest Tour

  by James A. Moore & Jeff Strand

34339545

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

Genre: Horror

My Review

I had to catch my breath after reading this one.

Want some thrills? Take a tour of the haunted forest. It’s perfectly safe. Are the monsters real? You’ll soon find out.

The ride begins. Of course, one of the trams breaks down. I couldn’t wait to keep reading and my face grew a maniacal grin because I knew this was where the monsters would come creeping in. I swear, I will never go into the woods again without thinking of this book. It’s creepy, then it’s suspenseful, then it’s creepier, then more suspenseful, and so on. It doesn’t slow down but ramps up and up.

Every kind of creeping, crawling, flying thing you can imagine and then some are prowling the forest. Some want to bash you. Some want to eat you or drain your blood. Some just want to rip you to pieces. All of them want you dead. The party has begun and the lookie loos are the favors.

This was fodder for my horror appetite. I wanted crazy bloody mayhem and I got it. Did I love this book? Yes. Would I recommend it? Most definitely.

Synopsis

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Haunted Forest Tour! Sit back and enjoy a smooth ride in air-conditioned comfort as your heavily armored tram takes you through nature’s most astonishing creation. The forest is packed to capacity with dangerous and terrifying creatures of all shapes, sizes, and hunger levels, and you’ll get to observe these wonders in complete safety. Howl with a werewolf! Gaze into the glowing eyes of a giant spider! Look right through a spooky ghost! See horrific monsters you couldn’t even imagine, only inches away from you! Things with fangs, things with claws, things with dripping red jaws-you’ll see them all! Not thrilling enough? Well, it’s Halloween, and so we’re offering a very special tour through the Haunted Forest. The new route goes deeper into the woods than any civilians have ventured before, and you’re guaranteed to get a good scare! Rest assured that every possible security precaution has been taken. The Haunted Forest Tour has a 100% safety record, and technical difficulties are unheard of. You will be in no danger whatsoever. We promise. Bram Stoker Award-nominated authors James A. Moore and Jeff Strand have teamed up to take you on an action-packed, monster-laden adventure that will make you laugh, scream, and think twice before going near ghastly oversized beasts that want to devour you. “[An] absolute gem of a read…What comes next is over two hundred pages of non stop, in your face, gore drenched action…You will be exhausted by the time you reach the satisfying last page…Think Jurassic Park with bloodthirsty demons on an adrenaline rush and you have The Haunted Forest Tour.” – GoreZone magazine “James A. Moore and Jeff Strand are a literary dream team. Devout readers of the genre are in for a real treat as these two horror heavyweights combine forces and battle their characters to the bloody death…Remember how it felt to inventory and consume your candy on Halloween night? That’s the atmosphere in the forest. You feel like a glutton, like you couldn’t possibly stomach one more gooey demise, but you turn the page and unwrap another nightmare anyway.” – Horror-Web “Moore and Strand heap scares upon plot twists in one of the freshest and most entertaining novels in recent years. The authors offer a frightening and high-octane tale, presented as an apocalyptic disaster movie.” – Horror World
