Book Read:

Seven Cleopatra Hill

Thoughts:

I had been seeing this book, Seven Cleopatra Hill come across my Goodreads feed quite a bit so I decided to grab it and then I decided to reach out to the author for a featured author read of his book in one of my groups so that the members could read it as well. This book is definitely a spooky ride! I have quite a few more books by this author simmering on my kindle.

Book Read:

The Exorcist's House

Thoughts:

I had been seeing this book, The Exorcist's House all over the place - on facebook in the Books of Horror group and some of my friends were reading it on Goodreads. I had been wanting to read this book for awhile so along with my co-moderators we set up a buddy read for it in one of our groups. This book is scary! I had some sleepless nights reading this one and it spooked me out of my skin! I do own the other book by this author which is "Anathema". It is simmering on my kindle waiting to be read. :) 


Mort Stone
(Horror)

Book Read:

The Date

Thoughts:

This book is a very short story but my goodness does it pack a bloody punch! I loved this book so much and it being a debut book was great! Looking forward to more books by this author! 


Caleb C.W.
(Horror/Crime)

Goodreads Author Profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/22564883.Caleb_C_W_

Book Read:

At Your Service

Thoughts:

This book, At Your Service, was a horror/crime story that grabbed me and I read this book in one sitting. Another debut book by an author that I hope to see more of his work in the future. 


Michael Richan
(Horror)

Books Read:

The Haunting of Pitmon House
The Bank of the River (The River #1)

Thoughts:

These two books took me on a haunting ride into the unknown. I need to continue the series of The River books though as I only read the one book. I do remember though that it has a comparison to the books and series of Supernatural but in this case the series is based on a father and son. The other book, The Haunting of Pitmon House was very spooky and I enjoyed staying spooked. I have a few more of this author on my kindle that I need to read yet. 


Mark Lukens
(Horror)

Goodreads Author Profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7309096.Mark_Lukens

Amazon Author Profile: https://www.amazon.com/Mark-Lukens/e/B00G8GYUUG

Books Read:

Followed
Devil's Island

Thoughts:

These books popped up on Goodreads as reader suggestions because of some other books I was reading at the time. So I checked them out and became hooked on the books. I now have a few more books by this author simmering on my kindle. Next year I need to get back to reading his work. 


Patrick Logan
(Horror)

Goodreads Author Profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/14156180.Patrick_Logan

Amazon Author Profile: https://www.amazon.com/Patrick-Logan/e/B010GE8S26

Book Read:

Shallow Graves

Thoughts:

This author came across my Goodreads feeds a couple or so years back as I saw a few of my friends reading this book. Really enjoyed the writing style of the author and have since added more of his books to my kindle.  


Jon Athan
(Horror)

Goodreads Author Profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/9842651.Jon_Athan

Amazon Author Profile: https://www.amazon.com/Jon-Athan/e/B00OKV8PCU

Book Read:

Cannibal Creek

Thoughts:

I have seen this author loads over on Goodreads and when I say "loads" that is exactly what I mean as he is always popping up on my Goodreads feeds. I just need to read his books more as I do own a few of his works on my kindle and hopefully this coming year I can dive into a few of them. 😊


Brandon Massey
(Horror)

Goodreads Author Profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/79817.Brandon_Massey

Amazon Author Profile: https://www.amazon.com/Brandon-Massey/e/B000APLXRO

Books Read:

In the Dark
Within the Shadows

Thoughts:

With this author I had suggestions pop up over on Goodreads as I was reading another book and Goodreads gives a small box to the side with more book suggestions - this is where I came across this author. So I read Within the Shadows first and I was really impressed as the book was super creepy then I tracked down his other work. I read In the Dark next and enjoyed it as well. I need to read more of his books and I do have them simmering on my kindle. Next year I will need to go back to his work. 


T.W. Piperbrook
(Horror)

Goodreads Author Profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6565271.T_W_Piperbrook

Amazon Author Profile: https://www.amazon.com/T-W-Piperbrook/e/B009VEGSIY

Books Read:

Outage (Boxed Omnibus Set - Books 1-5)

Thoughts:

I read this omnibus set of books a few years back as I was on the lookout for something werewolf and I came across these books. It turned out that I enjoyed them immensely and read the whole set kind of back to back. What a fun and gory ride with some fur and fangs! This author also has a zombie/apocalyptic series that I have a couple of the first books on my kindle. I need to read that series at some point as it looks really good.


Final Thoughts:

So that is my wrap up of 10 more authors that I have discovered within the last few years. More of this author series coming next year in 2023. 

Happy Reading! πŸ˜ŠπŸ“š
