The nitty-gritty: Creepy and unsettling, thrilling and terrifying, Gallows Hill is the perfect story to read with the lights off—if you dare. “”It might be easier to go over everything in three parts,’ Kant said. ‘Before the bells. After the bells. And once they’re in the house.’” I’m so glad I’ve finally read my first […]

THE MOTHER’S WHEEL by Robin Kirk – Review
Posted August 30, 2022 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 8 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Rich world-building, finely developed characters, high stakes and plenty of emotional moments make The Mother’s Wheel a stellar series conclusion. “‘My name is Desper,’ the ape says. I can’t help myself. ‘What kind of name is that?’ ‘The best kind.’ Her eyes are round as coins and a deep, chocolate brown. ‘I chose […]

WEST OF HELL: WEIRD WESTERN HORROR STORIES by James A. Moore, R.B. Wood & Michael Burke – Review

West of Hell contains three short novellas written by three different authors, and while I didn’t enjoy all of […]
