The Pope Lick Massacre by Eric Butler

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Splatter" Stars

Wow! This was a great gore infested romp through the backwoods of Kentucky!

A small taste of what is inside:

A Boy Scout troop goes camping out in the back country of Kentucky and ends up losing contact with family and friends. When everyone begins to worry about what happened to the boy scouts they form a search party to bring them home. What they do not expect is something roams the woods which is considered to be a myth/legend (the Goat Man) and when they realize that what is considered to be a "myth" is really a "fact" then it might be too late for all of them!

That is about all I can give on a small taste so if that has you intrigued then go read this book!

Thoughts:

This was a cool blood splatter ride that kept me in a state of suspense throughout the story! 

The mystery surrounding the myth of the Goat Man is very intriguing and as I became involved in the storyline, the tension along with the fast paced page turning kept me entranced as I made my way through the book!

When I read this book back in 2021 I was impressed of how quick I became involved in the storyline as when the book took off, I was dragged along by my heels toward the unknown and there was no time to catch my breath as I flew through the storyline to see what was going to happen next! There was so much splatter in this book that it was a good thing I had my gore suit handy as it is definitely needed for reading this book! 

Highly Recommend!

A Place So Wicked by Patrick Reuman

 

👻👻👻👻

Four "Spook-Fest" Stars

I really enjoyed this book as this was a new author to me and I have found another one of those "diamond in the rough" books along with a new author to pursue. 

A small taste of what lies within:

The Harrington family relocate to a home in Black Falls, New York as the father has a new job. Though unknown to the family, the house they move to is anything but serene as it seems the minute they move in things begin to happen to them along with a foul odor that slams into them the minute they open the door to the basement. The house is haunted and it seems no one around their area want anything to do with it. 

That is about all I can give on a taste as you will need to read my full course review over on Goodreads.

Thoughts:

This book just seemed to grab me from the get-go as I sank down into my comfy chair. I was totally drawn in to the spookiness of the story and the more I became involved in the story the more I kept reading as I wanted to see what was going to happen next. There is lots of suspense, mystery, tension (in some spots) and fast paced kindle page turning as I made my way through the book. New author = new books to hunt down! Cannot wait to see what else this author has out there and I will be checking out his other work.

The Death of Addie Gray by Amy Cross

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four "Spooky" Stars

This book was a real spook fest when I read it back in November of 2017 as sometimes the author, Amy Cross can delve down deep into your psyche with the creepy spook vibes and this book was no exception.

A small taste of what is within:

Addie is in a coma for a long time and when all hope seems to fade about her waking up, she finally comes out of the coma. Though everything might seem okay with Addie - her family find out quickly that she is not herself and keeps insisting that she is someone else which sends them reeling as they cannot figure out why she insists that her name is not Addie. 

That is about all I can give on a taste as you will need to read my full course review over on Goodreads. 

Thoughts:

This book was not only creepy, but it was full of suspense and mystery as well as I tried to figure out why the character Addie was acting strange. Author, Amy Cross, usually always has some interesting plots with her stories and most of the time I can become weaved in with her stories as the characters and plots become entangled in total suspense. This is one of those stories.

Black Creek Crossing by John Saul

 

👻👻👻👻👻

Five "Heebie Jeebie" Stars

This was a great story and I had read it not too long after it first published a few years ago, but it has been so long that I didn't remember all what had happened in the story, so I decided to do another reread of it for a memory refresh. 

A small taste of what is within:

Two teens (Angel and Seth) become best friends as they are always being bullied at school but when they find something in Angel's house it opens up a new world for them as they decide to turn the tables on the bullies. 

That is about all I can give in small taste as you will need to read my full course meal review on Goodreads. 

Thoughts:

This was a classic book written by one of the masters of horror as when I was in my late teens and early 20's the only two horror authors I dived into at that time was King and Saul, but my memory is not as good it use to be so I don't remember a lot of Saul's stories from way back when, so I plan on revisiting his world of horror at some point. This book was just one creepy and spooky story as it is a great tale of revenge for bullies that prey on the weak.

Grad Night by Carver Pike

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Teacher Twisted" Stars

This was a different type of story but it had all the twists I have come to expect from this author so was looking forward to this one and it was not a disappointment!

A small taste of what is within:

It is Grad Night and all the teenagers from DS High want to celebrate so they invite some of their teachers to their rite of passage party into the big world. Though things are not what they seem and the atmosphere of the party goes south as the party takes a turn for the worse for the teachers. 

That is about all I can give on a taste as you will need to check out my full course meal review over on Goodreads.

Thoughts:

I had already had a taste of this author last year when I read his book Scalp which was another twisted read and I knew that this book was probably going to be fast paced with lots of twisty turns. I can say I was right and I ended up reading the last half of the book in about four hours as I just could not put it down! All the characters (teachers and students) were fleshed out and with the atmosphere of the book I could just feel the dread from the teachers as things started to get bad. The author, Carver Pike, is great at lowering the boom when you least expect it and the boom was not only lowered it dragged me through the book at a high rate of speed almost like I was on a supersonic "boom" train!

The House on Fisher Street by Amy Cross

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four "Tension" Stars

This book by author, Amy Cross, was a different type of story as I thought it was going to be more of a slasher novel and it turned out to be something totally not what I expected.

A small taste of what is within:

Davey, Ryan, and Paula have been stealing for a long time, but they finally want to do one last job and the house on Fisher street seems to be their golden tuna as the house is surrounded by a wall that seems impossible to penetrate. Not all is what it seems as once they figure out how to get inside is when things go to hell in a handbasket quick as the owner of the house is waiting for them as they enter his humble abode. 

That is about all I can give on a taste as you will need to read the full course meal over on Goodreads. 

Thoughts:

I have read a few books by this author and she always seems to be able to create unique stories. This one was no different and I read it really quick as the fast pace of the story kept me involved to where I read the whole book within 24 hours.
