Book review: The Amnesia Girl by Gerri R. Gray
The horror genre is vast and catches comedy in its net. Gerri Gray’s The Amnesia Girl is a shining example of top-class comedy-horror. “Filled with copious amounts of black humor, Gerri R.

Review: The Blood Red Experiment
My journey into dark fiction just keeps getting better. What is it that draws the reader into the realm of the macabre? I guess the answer to that is different for everyone, but for me, uppermost is the application of top-class literary skills. “Inspired by the genius of Hitchcock and his films, latin luminaries suchContinue reading “Review: The Blood Red Experiment”
Review: Worship Me by Craig Stewart
I’m thrilled to share my review of Worship Me by Canadian author Craig Stewart. Worship Me is a fast-paced horror novel that will have you on the edge of your seat. Something is listening to the prayers of St. Paul’s United Church, but it’s not the god they asked for; it’s something much, much older.
