The Last Astronaut: Book Review

Wellington’s prose is very direct and compelling, his characters are diverse, his scenes cinematic, and the horror within the alien object? Well, I won’t spoil anything. I will say that the suspense/horror ramp up at light-speed, culminating in an deliciously insane ending.

Blood Mountain: Collection Review

This whole collection is thick with blood, despair, and the overpowering menace of the landscape, the mountain, and nature herself. I was hooked by the first page and yanked in, drowning deliciously in Brenda’s beautiful prose and brutal themes.

Beulah - Novel Review

Character-driven and heavy with atmosphere, Beulah pulls the reader into a slow-burning ghost story as surreal as a dream, but rife with brutal moments of harsh reality. Gothic foreboding colours every page of this novel.
