Crazy Old Lady by Angel Gelique

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four "Twisted Fun" Stars

A small taste of what lies within:

When a old woman lives as a recluse in her home all she wants is to be left alone, but when two men enter her home to rob her is when the crap hits the fan. There are different kinds of justice, but when someone breaks into your home, you have to defend it which is what this old woman does as she gives the robbers her own brand of justice! 

That is about all I can hand out with a small taste so if you want to know more then go read this book! 

Thoughts:

To put it mildly, the author, Angel Gelique always has surprises for her readers as she loves to "twist" and "turn" ordinary household items into weapons of the likes you have ever seen! 

Once you read her books, those items that lay around your house, you will never look at them the same way again! This story moves at a quick pace too as you don't have time to breathe so if you want something that is going to make your heart race then go check out this book! Oh and you might want to grab a gore suit too as this one gets messy! You have been warned. 😉

The Witching House by Brian Moreland

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Blood Soaked" Stars

Tension Wrapped With Splatter!

A very small taste of what lies within:

Two couples, Dean and Sarah along with Casey and Meg are considered urban explorers meaning they like to go romping through abandoned buildings. They end up "romping" through the Blevins house where multiple murders happened there in the past and they get more than they bargained for when things start happening to them as the Blevins house is now super haunted!

That is about all I can give on a very small taste so if you want to know more then go read this book!

Thoughts:

This book just grabbed me from the get-go as the author, Brian Moreland just drew me straight into the storyline. The story of the Blevins house with the atmospheric haunting just seeps into your soul as you read the book. 

As with any haunted house you will find the usual ghostly presence, but when this house is known for multiple homicides then it turns this house almost into a portal of hell as when the characters in the book start exploring its halls, I was on the edge of my seat with what was going to happen next and I literally could not put this book down! 

Also when the gore starts flying and yeah it does fly in this book which almost turns into "splatter stick to the walls" kind of book then you better have your gore suit handy because you are going to need it!

The Girl from the Blood Coven by Brian Moreland

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Creepy Coven" Stars

Short Story Suspense!

A very small taste of what lies within:

Abigail Blackwood goes into a bar covered in blood and it just so happens that the Sheriff of the town is in the bar having a drink. Abigail lets the Sheriff know why she is drenched in blood as she tells him that something murdered her family. What happens next will send the Sheriff on a ride into hell!

That is about all I can give on a very small taste so if you want to know more then go read this book!

Thoughts:

This was a very short story by author, Brian Moreland, but it is a prequel to his book, The Witching House. 

Just within this short story the author is able to wrap the atmosphere of the book around you and pull you slap-dab into the middle of the Blevins House which is what this story is about. 

When the crap hits the fan in this book you are going to feel it as you flip the pages wanting to see what will happen next!

In Every Dark Corner by Duncan Ralston

 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four "Twisted Terror" Stars

A small taste of what lies within:

I am not doing my traditional small taste as this book has seven short stories that will take you on a terror ride into the twisted mind of Duncan Ralston but I will just give you a couple of slices of the gore pie to plop on your plate!

Here is just a taste of what lies within this book along with a cryptic note:

Head: A man gets on board a plane carrying a bowling bag - gee, I wonder what is inside the bag?

Boats: Revenge is sweet for a boss which at least the boss thinks so - but what happens when the tables are turned or I should say when the boat is turned?

The Burden: A daughter taking care of her father and the bond they have formed through the years. (This story was touching with compassion and love though it had more of a twilight zone twist - not a horror twist.)

If these stories have piqued your interest then go grab this book and enter the mind of Duncan Ralston as once you enter you will be looking for the door to escape!

Thoughts:

This book was a "typical twist" of fun, entertaining horror that has tons of twisted terror situations! The title of the book is interesting to me as it could be mean a couple of things, but the more I think about it, the title could mean "In Every Dark Corner" of Duncan's mind too! 

There are lots of "dark corners" in there I am sure and whatever is crawling around in there comes out through his fingertips into the pages of this book! 

These stories all have some sort of "twist" to them which will make you want to run and hide in your dark corner! 

So I will ask you this: Do you dare to enter the mind of this author? I guarantee that once you enter you might never be the same, but at least you will have some fun while you quietly sit in the "dark corner" of your mind while you read this book!

Lonely is the Night

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Fanged" Stars

This short story, Lonely is the Night, by author, David Brian, was filled with bloody bites of horror as the vampire theme wrapped itself around me. 

The moment I started reading the book, I just could not put it down and read it all within one sitting. Even though the story was short there were some twists and turns within its pages. 

A short vampire story that has plenty of "bite" and flavor within its pages.

Witch Island by David Bernstein

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Wicked Witch" Stars

A small taste of what lies within:

Witch Island is off limits to the town residents as an actual witch put a curse on the island back in the early 1900's when she was burned alive. She cursed all the people that had a hand in killing her and she cursed their future generations.

Of course, it is all a myth, right? There is no such things as witches and curses. A few friends decide to forego everything that their parents have warned them about the island and go have a graduation party on the island to prove that there is nothing to the legend.

Little do they know that they have just stepped into a nightmare when they dock their canoes on the island. When one of the friends finds something interesting under the ground and digs it up, no one is prepared for the consequences of that discovery!

That is about all I can hand out with a small taste so if you want to know more then go read this book!

Thoughts:

What a wild ride this book turned out to be as I wasn't expecting it to go into extreme mode! When I read this book back in July of 2018, I knew that the book was going to be good as I had read other books by this author before and was never disappointed! So when I read the blurb of the book, I had a feeling that this book was going to be rocking, but didn't know how much "rocking" as I was going to endure until I got into the storyline!

When the crap hits the fan in the story, you better be grabbing your gore suit as trust me, you will need it! Witches/Curses is the main theme in this story and the story was so fast paced that is was hard to put down as I flew through it within 48 hours! 

The characters and all what they had to go through within the storyline just grabbed me right away, but when the story became deeper with the curse on the island is when things went from calm to crazy within just a few pages!

Tormented by Lee Mountford

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Tormented Gory" Stars

Crazy Terror Ride!

A small taste of what lies within:

Welcome to Arlington Asylum - place that harbors crazies from all walks of life, but then there are some that are not wrapped around the bend and are actually sane.

Adrian James was close to taking his own life until he was rescued by a man named Isaac Templeton. At the time Adrian didn't know what to expect when Isaac came into his life, but Isaac promised to make him better as long as he would come stay at a place where they could administer a new medicine that was sure to cure all.

Little does Adrian know that he has just stepped into his worst nightmare and that the place he is staying in is an asylum. The new medicine that is suppose to be a cure is far from what was promised and the medicine is doing some strange things to the patients.

When Adrian sees something that is beyond his imagination he cannot figure out if he is having a hallucination or if it is real as a mutated monster is roaming the halls of the asylum and it goes into a rage turning the asylum into a gore fest. But that is the least of Adrian's worries as when he finds out there are more of those creatures he wonders along with the rest of the patients if they will be ever make it out of the asylum alive!

What kind of creature does Adrian see? Where did it come from? Why are there creatures roaming the halls of the asylum? Does Adrian along with the other patients make it out alive? No spoilers here as you will just have to read the book!

Thoughts:

This book's setting is inside an asylum and there are more than warped patients inside the walls as some other beings are lurking along the hallways! Though the book starts out a little slow, the author is just building up his momentum so he can lower the boom on you and drag you through the halls of the asylum kicking and screaming! 

The book moved at a fast pace once I hit the 30% mark and as I hit the 50% mark it took off like lightning as I could hardly put it down! This was a gory romp into insanity all the way to the end of the book! Other characters are in the book as well that come into play through most of the book and everything moves super fast when the creatures make an appearance.

Author Lee Mountford knows how to turn a perfectly docile asylum into a gore infested romp and just looking at the cover of the book along with the title I knew this was going to be a fun read and believe me, I was not for one second disappointed! 

The book literally explodes with bloody gore through the last half of the book which takes this book into the extreme realms of hell! Buckle up readers as you are in for one gory ride and you will be in need of a gore suit!
