 The Farm

by Amy Cross

25472577

Genre:  Horror

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

You get two for one in this book.

It begins in 1979 when Sara and her sister come across a dead body in the river. Waiting for her sister to return with help, Sara meets a mysterious man who claims to be Death. Not long after, bad things visit the family.

Flash forward thirty years. Paula and her father move into the old abandoned farm he bought at a bargain price because of it’s tragic history. She’s excited to learn it’s rumored to be haunted and she hopes to encounter ghosts. She should have been careful what she wished for.

I’ve read many of Amy’s books and she always manages to give me the chills. She did it again with The Farm. I like reading scary books at night. You get such vibes when it’s dark out and all is still. I managed to creepy myself out as the story got darker, the two separate stories came together and the horror come out to play.

I felt a strong connection to many of the characters and that made reading about some of the horrific things that happened to them hard to swallow. I wanted to go back and change the past and to warn Paula and her father about what was really haunting the old farm.

Be prepared. This is a true horror haunting.

Synopsis

One farm. Two tragedies, thirty years apart. And a tortured figure whose presence connects both incidents… In 1979, the Bondalen family farm in Norway is home to three young girls. As winter fades to spring, Elizabeth, Kari and Sara each come to face the secrets of the barn, and they each emerge with their own injuries. But someone else is lurking nearby, a man who claims to be Death incarnate, and for these three girls the spring of 1979 is set to end in tragedy. Today, the farm has finally been sold to a new family. Dragged from London by her widowed father, Paula Ridley hates the idea of rural life. Soon, however, she starts to realize that her new home retains hints of its horrific past, while the darkness of the barn still awaits anyone who dares venture inside. Set over the course of several decades, The Farm is a horror novel about people who live with no idea of the terror in their midst, and about a girl who finally has to confront a creature that has been feeding on the farm’s inhabitants for generations…

 In One Fell Swoop

by Willow Rose

34520448. sy475

Genre:  Horror / Thriller

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

I was curious about this after taking a close look at the cover. Having read many of Willow’s books, I spotted those vines and my imagination took flight. The author sets the tone right from the beginning. Camping in the Green Swamps of Florida. Creepy woods. Campers disappear. Oh yeah, this was gonna be fun.

They say you don’t fool with Mother Nature and they’re right. She bites back. But so does Patty. Her grandson is one of the missing campers and she enters the woods, bound and determined to find him.

So much happens in this book. I want to tell you about this scene. And that scene. And how wildly imaginative the author got with the ways Mother Nature took her revenge. Crazy stuff. And great for a movie.

Beware. The woods are dark and deep. Scary things creep.

Synopsis

Fasten your sea tbelts as Willow Rose takes you on one scary, wildly imaginative ride. For anyone who loves a good thriller, this is a treat.

On a hot day in June, two groups of campers disappear in the Green Swamps of Florida. The wood is still burning in the bonfire, all their belongings are abandoned, and there is blood at the campground. But not a single body is found.

Patty McGee, the grandmother to one of the missing campers, sets out to find out what happened to her grandson, thinking his father might have kidnapped him. However, soon she realizes she is up against a force way more powerful than that. It’s a battle even she can’t win.

From the Queen of Scream comes a scary, yet humorous tale of man’s battle against nature. In One Fell Swoop is a compelling and clever story, as only Willow Rose can deliver.

 The Dark Game

by Jonathan Janz

42762686

Genre:  Horror

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

It took me a bit to really get into this book. I’m thinking it was because there were so many characters to keep track of. I knew that wouldn’t be a problem later though. This is a horror story after all. And when you have a group of writers thrown together in an isolated mansion, all vying for a chance at three million dollars if they win a crazy recluse’s game, you know the numbers will decrease.

Some of the characters were likeable, at first. Some, not at all. Once the game began, their secrets, their dark ambitions came out to play. And dark things began to happen. This was my favorite part. I love it when a group of people are thrown into dangerous situations. You see who steps up. Who fails right out of the gate. And who uses every trick in the book to survive. Their true character comes into the light.

Once I got familiar with who was who and what the game was, I had a really good read. Janz built layers of mystery and atmosphere, and then added in the surprises, the horror, I was waiting for. The last third of the book was fast and furious. What a trip.

 Devouring Dark

by Alan Baxter

41128507. sy475

Genre:  Horror

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

I’ve read and enjoyed several of Alan’s books and always happy to get my hands on another one. Especially when it’s a blend of crime story and horror of the supernatural kind.

Matt has a power. A dark one. He wields it in horrific fashion against those who commit horrendous crimes. Woe to those who deserve his kind of attention. I actually cringed at a scene in the first chapter.

Amy has a special power too. Though she uses it in a completely different way. I appreciated how the author included some things that I often thought about myself. Where and why do we draw the line? She came across as compassionate and brave.

Then there’s the mob boss. This is where the crime part of the story comes in. He knows of Matt’s talents. Seen his work. And wants him to be his assassin. Matt wants nothing to do with him and you can imagine how the mobster responds to his refusal.

Can you call a crime / horror story poetic, maybe even beautiful? You can when the author pens a story like Devouring Dark. Just like the cover, it’s dark yet lovely.

Synopsis

DEVOURING DARK is an urban horror novel about a man plagued since childhood by a malevolent darkness that threatens to consume him. After a lifetime spent wrestling for control over this onslaught, Matt McLeod has learned to wield his mysterious paranormal skill to achieve an odious goal: retribution as a supernatural vigilante.

When one such hit goes bad, McLeod finds himself ensnared in a multi-tentacled criminal enterprise caught between a corrupt cop and a brutal mobster. His only promise of salvation may be a bewitching woman who shares his dark talent but has murderous designs of her own.

The gritty thriller DEVOURING DARK is based on Baxter’s award-winning short story Shadows of the Lonely Dead.

 Fossil River

by Jock Miller

14791497. sy475

Genre:  Horror / Thriller

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

The United States is on the brink of disaster. They are running out of oil and it’s only a matter of time before the country goes dark. When a huge deposit of oil is discovered in a remote Alaskan National Reserve, the choice is simple. Plunder the park, but try to leave the smallest footprint possible. Only problem is, something has already made a claim on the land. Something ancient and deadly.

I wasn’t going to tell you what the ancient creatures were, but the blurb gives it away. It’s dinosaurs. Smart ones. They can perform coordinated attacks. Are almost impossible to defend against. And they don’t like us in their territory. That’s my kind of story and I ate this up. And how fun that the very thing we get oil from is the very thing that bars our access.

There are plenty of characters. Those that become dinosaur chum. Those that fight for protecting the dinosaurs. And Those that want to go in and bomb them back into extinction. And those caught in the middle. I really became attached to some. And that made for thrilling reading.

Lots of books give you bits and pieces about the creatures they feature. In Fossil River you get lots of up close and personal encounters. There are plenty of tense scenes. Especially when they start to encounter the dinosaurs. A military team goes in and things get nuts. I accepted that some of the characters I liked would meet their end. And so would some of the dinosaurs. It saddened me. But the suspense was greater because of those very things.

I liked this one a lot. Read it twice. And will probably read it again when I’m in the mood for some dinosaur mayhem.

Synopsis

Fossil fuel has an ageless affinity with dinosaurs. To create oil, dinosaurs died. Now the tables are turning!

The perfect energy storm is sweeping over the United States: Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown has paralyzed nuclear expansion globally, BP’s Gulf of Mexico oil spill has stalled deep water drilling, Arab oil countries are in turmoil causing doubt about access to future oil, the intensity of hurricanes hitting the Gulf’s oil rigs and refineries has intensified due to global warming, and the nation’s Strategic Oil Supply is riding on empty.

As the energy storm intensifies, the nation’s access to Arab oil, once supplying over sixty percent of our fossil fuel, is being threatened causing people to panic for lack of gas at the pumps, stranding cars across the country and inciting riots.

The U.S. Military is forced to cut back air, land, and sea operations sucking up 58% of every barrel of oil to protect the nation; U.S. commercial airlines are forced to limit flights for lack of jet fuel; and businesses are challenged to power up their factories, and offices as the U.S. Department of Energy desperately tries to provide a balance of electric power from the network of aged power plants and transmission lines that power up the nation.

The United States must find new sources of domestic fossil fuel urgently or face an energy crisis that will plunge the nation into a deep depression worse than 1929.

The energy storm is very real and happening this very moment. But, at the last moment of desperation, the United States discovers the world’s largest fossil fuel deposit found in a remote inaccessible mountain range within Alaska’s Noatak National Preserve surrounding six and a half million acres.

Preventing access to the oil is a colony of living fossil dinosaurs that will protect its territory to the death.

Nobody gets out alive; nobody can identify the predator–until Dr. Kimberly Fulton, Curator of Paleontology at New York’s Museum of Natural History, is flown into the inaccessible area by Scott Chandler, the Marine veteran helicopter pilot who’s the Park’s Manager of Wildlife. All hell breaks loose when Fulton’s teenage son and his girlfriend vanish into the Park.

Will the nation’s military be paralyzed for lack of mobility fuel, and will people across America run out of gas and be stranded, or will the U.S. Military succeed in penetrating this remote mountain range in northwestern Alaska to restore fossil fuel supplies in time to save the nation from the worst energy driven catastrophe in recorded history?

 One By One

by D.W. Gillespie

48270279. sy475

Genre:  Horror

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

Stories about haunted houses never get old for me. I’ve read a bunch of them. What I look for to make the story is the characters and the nature of the haunting, what’s behind it.

One By One is told from the perspective of Alice, a ten year old girl, and that makes it even creepier. It begins on the first night they stay in the new house. A strange building with a secret past and a chilling drawing on the wall of a family that eerily resembles theirs.  Her terrifying experiences in the house are brushed off as flights of fancy or nightmares by her parents. She’s even accused of doing some of the weird things that happen. Her older brother is no help. He just shuts himself in his room, listening to his music. But soon enough, it becomes apparent that something in the house is behind it. But what? And why? Figuring that out might be the only way they survive the house.

This story had eerie vibes right from the get go. I was hooked. Couldn’t wait to read on and see how events played out. The more into it I got, the darker and more mysterious it got. It takes a lot to make me wince and I did that several times. And to pull the wool over my eyes so completely. That was something. I looked up from the book, wanting someone to talk to about what just happened. No one but the dog was around. Darn it.

Calling all horror fans. A great story awaits you.

Synopsis

The Easton family has just moved into their new fixer-upper, a beautiful old house that they bought at a steal, and Alice, the youngest of the family, is excited to explore the strange, new place. Her excitement turns to growing dread as she discovers a picture hidden under the old wallpaper, a child’s drawing of a family just like hers. Soon after, members of the family begin to disappear, each victim marked on the child’s drawing with a dark black X. It’s up to her to unlock the grim mystery of the house before she becomes the next victim.

 The Town That Feared Dusk

by Calvin Demmer

44808282. sx318

Genre:  Horror / Short Story

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

I very much enjoyed Demmer’s, The Sea Was A fair Master. I don’t usually like every short story in a collection, but I did with those. I prepared myself for another quick punch to the gut, and got it.

Sylvia dreams of that one big story. The one that could make her as a journalist. Browsing through some old files, she comes across one her former colleague had started putting together. It struck her as peculiar that no red flags were raised in a small town where thirty-six people jumped to their deaths in a ten year period. It was worth a drive out there to investigate Suicide Bridge. The more she pursued the story, the weirder it became and it was already too late when she realized her hunger for fame put her in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 It’s always fun when I think I know which direction the story is going and the author takes it another way. And a scene near the end of the story reminded me of another book I’d read some time ago. I wish I could recall that title as I still think about it now and then. I still picture it in my head. The Town That Feared Dusk was a quick trip to the dark side and I think it would be even more fun as a full length book.

Synopsis

Sylvia Bernstein doesn’t want to end up on a dead-end path like a former journalism colleague. She begins searching the tabloid’s archives for a story that can get her career back on track. A strange bridge, with an abnormally high rate of suicides, seems like the perfect place to start. She journeys to the little town, eager to investigate, but encounters a tale far more sinister than she ever expected…

 Hill Haven Creeps And The Halloween King

by Brandon Berntson

48067382. sy475

Genre:  Horror / Middle Grade And Older

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

I came across this while looking for some Halloween books and had to grab it. It sounds creepy good and that cover is wicked.

Hill Haven Creeps is a small town where not much happens. Until… a carnival mysteriously appears at the fair ground. Stranger still, no one appears to be running it. Soon, people start disappearing, and dying. A group of young boys must get to the bottom of things before they too disappear.

Yep, sounds scary good. This gave me vibes similar to Something Wicked This Way Comes. And with a name like All Hallows Eve Midnight Traveling Spook Show, you know dark deeds are afoot.

The book took me back. Felt like where I grew up. And the cast of characters could have been in my school and neighborhood. We all used to help each other do our chores so we could set off together on new adventures. When a carnival came to town, we would be first in line. Enjoying the rides, munching on carnie food, and unable to resist entering the scary exhibits. Luckily, the carnivals weren’t anything like the one at Hill Haven Creeps.

Loads of atmosphere and genuine characters made this a scary good read for me. I eagerly turned the pages, excited to see what was coming next and how it would end. Just when I thought I knew something, the author would turn it all around. Great Halloween reading for the younger crowd and the young at heart.

Synopsis

It’s Halloween in Hill Haven Creeps, and the All Hallows Eve Midnight Traveling Spook Show has come to town. Empty tents flap in the breeze, but there’s no sign of the carnies.

For a group of close friends, the festivities have just begun. A masked figure haunts Trevor Sheevis in every reflection. Cole Reagor’s dream of being a stand-up comedian suddenly isn’t so funny, and Tommy Gallaghan’s cell phone makes ominous threats.

At school, Angela Rayburn is smiling at Mathew Potts, and for Ashley Gifford, the monster he fears most sleeps under his very same roof.

When their friend, Steven Delhomme, turns up missing, their worst fears come true.

The smell of autumn leaves is in the air, the first pumpkins are aglow, and the crows are gathering in the cornfields. The moon is full, and something is visible beyond the veil between the living and the dead calling itself the Scarecrow King.

As Halloween approaches, the dead exchange places with the living, and the All Hallows Eve Midnight Traveling Spook Show opens its doors.

In Hill Haven Creeps, every fear will come to life, and every dream will turn into a nightmare.

But will Halloween will have the final say?

Or is something more ominous on the night wind?

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?

The Ninth Session Deborah Serani

Title: THE NINTH SESSION: A PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE NOVEL
Author: Deborah Serani
Publisher: TouchPoint Press
Pages: 190
Genre: Psychological Suspense/Thriller

My Review

First off, I have to mention the cover. How perfect for this suspenseful story. And a psychological thriller it is. From the opening scene where Dr. Alicia Reese finds her new patient having a full blown panic attack, I could tell the author was writing from personal knowledge about dealing with situations like this.

Hopefully, not quite like this. The patient is seriously disturbed and the more sessions they have, the more dark it becomes. Soon Alicia is put in an ethical position that could cost her her life.

I was caught up from the opening pages and raced to the finish. The more I read, the more I needed to read. The suspense built. Had to know what Lucas would reveal next. What was he planning in that disturbed mind of his? How would Alicia handle him and the professional situation she was put in?

Each step closer to answers kept me on edge. A fast, furious psychological thriller indeed and I’ll be watching for more from this author.

BOOK BLURB

Dr. Alicia Reese, a recent widow and a CODA – a child of Deaf Adults, takes on a new patient. Lucas Ferro reveals the reason for his consultation is that he wasn’t really open with his previous therapist. After gaining Reese’s trust, he shares aspects of his life that are clearly disturbing – experiences that create anxiety and panic, but also reveal horrifying psychopathology. Instead of referring Ferro elsewhere, Reese chooses to continue working with him, feeling reinvigorated by the challenge of his case.

As sessions progress, and Ferro’s disclosures become more menacing, Reese finds herself wedged between the cold hard frame of professional ethics and the integrity of personal truth – and learns just how far she’s willing to go, willing to risk and willing to lose to do the right thing.
