The #Kindle edition of "Shards" is now available for #free on Amazon's various international storefronts. This will be the case until October 4th, so get while the getting's good.
We're just a day away from the start of my latest book giveaway, so I wanted to share the following image, which shows how the stories in "Shards" relate to the other works from "The Nod/Wells Timelines." Hopefully, this will give everyone some useful context, and some ideas about which other books of mine to explore if they enjoy their time with "Shards."
Note that you can always find the most up-to-date version of "The Nod/Wells Timelines" via my official web site:
I know they're the embodiment of Evil but if you have Amaz*n Prime/Audible, they have an exclusive free collection of really good horror stories by some talented authors: Paul Tremblay, Joe Hill, Grady Hendrix, Josh Malerman, Chandler Baker, & Jason Mott. I've read 4 out of 6 so far & they kick ass. It's called the Creature Feature Collection.
"A compilation so good i had to write to the publisher and tell them what an outstanding piece of work this is." ~ Goodreads reviewer, Mitchell.
This Fresh Hell is in the wild and finding its readers! If you'd like to see what the fuss is about, head to Galaxy Bookshop in Sydney on 30 September for its NSW launch, with several of the authors there to talk about his new anthology of fresh takes on horror tropes!
The "nobody ever uses the bathroom in fiction unless something is sus" trope popped up in a Trail of Cthulhu campaign I ran back in high school. One of the PCs realized in a moment of Mythos-inflicted hysteria that he hadn't used the bathroom in 9 months, which led to him slowly realizing that he was in an episodic work of fiction and would stop existing when the story was over
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
COLD, BLACK, & INFINITE is the new collection by Todd Keisling & it's a fitting title. Dark forces permeate here, shaping fates w/ little concern for humanity. These tales contain cosmic chaos, but the REAL horrors reside within people's choices, realizations, & retributions. (Cemetery Dance)
This morning, I watched "His House" and I was immediately captivated by it. What a great movie! It's definitely my favorite of the season so far. It's got it all: a great and meaningful story, a freaky monster, charming characters, and excellent effects. This should be on every horror fan's radar!
I forgot to mention that I finished "The Only Good Indians" a few days ago. My official review is:
Great story 👍
Awesome monster 👍
The only bad thing I can say is that the last act lost me a little bit - without spoiling anything, I think it started off kind of silly. Otherwise, the rest of the book was genuinely terrifying. A great book that is definitely worth the read!
Interesting story 👍
Not enough monster screentime (unless you count Johnny Depp) 👎
Still, I liked it okay. I watched it when I was younger and didn't like it at all (see my point about monster screentime). But this time I was able to see all of the German expressionist influence and was able to appreciate it. The visual design for this one is beautiful!
I forgot to mention that I had some stuff to do today, so I turned on "Scream Queens" to play in the background. I didn't give it all of my attention but it still got some good laughs out of me. Not bad for a show I'd never heard of before!
Whew! My Halloween reading push is going well: I finished "This Thing Between Us" this morning! My review:
Heartbreaking story 👍
Okay monster 😐
I think I might need to chew on this one a bit longer... Right now I feel like I have more questions than answers. Still, it was a wonderful read (you know, as wonderful as a soul-crushing book can be) and I recommend it if that's your thing!
@bookstodon We just finished watching Scream 2. My verdict:
Pretty decent story 👍
One good killer, one dud 😐
I think this one is technically better than the first, but I think it lacked some charm that the first one nailed. (I miss Stu! 😢) This one had me jumping out of my skin, though! It's a fun thrill ride that no slasher fan should miss - just try not to compare it to its predecessor
But nobody EVER roleplays using the bathroom. This is very suspicious. (comicpress.socksandpuppets.com)
This comic is part of an ongoing story that might make more sense with full context....
