     Kill For A Copy - 5/5

                                                 



     If you haven't heard about Dark Chapter Press odds are you will soon. I received a copy of their debut anthology Kill For A Copy in exchange for an honest review and this is a massive anthology. Three Hundred and two pages of horror, and splatterpunk. The problem though is that in a volume this size there's bound to be some filler right? Surprisingly the answer is no, and as I read it I knew that Rob McEwan not only has an eye for talent but he knows horror. This is for the true horror fan and while some the authors here may be new they won't be for long. Each story packs a punch and the volume flows extremely well.

     If you've read my reviews you know that I never judge these just on the stories. It would take to long to go into each and everyone and to pick a favorite from a volume this good is nearly impossible. This features every aspect of the horror genre so no matter what style you like Kill For A Copy has you covered. As a fan I loved this volume and look forward to seeing individual releases from these authors. As a small press Dark Chapter has announced their arrival and I doubt that they'll be small very long. This is high quality stuff kids, and you won't be skipping through hoping that the next story doesn't suck. You have stories here by Stuart Keane, Jack Rollins, and a slew of others.


      Horror it seems is never going to go away, and with volumes like this that's a good thing. Fans will drool all over this one and if you're just getting into horror do yourself a favor and pick this one up. You will not be disappointed. Dark Chapter Press is a press that you want to seek out. I have a feeling that this press will be around for a long time.

     The Ball Washer - Lance Manion 4/5   https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/244563                                                 When you pick up a free book you really have no reason to complain. You took a risk and now there you are looking at your Kindle or tablet screen in either indifference or anger. The Ball Washer is a collection of flash fiction stories that range from out right hilarity to cringe inducing. There's no middle ground in Manion's collection and that's not a bad thing. He offers no apologies and you shouldn't ask for them because the book is free. It's an opportunity to check out a new writer and if you don't like it well you're not out anything. I had actually read this awhile ago and thought I'd check it out again. Sometimes a book just deserves a second read.      Manion's collection isn't for everyone. Sometimes it's crude, and downright offensive, but not every book released is going to appeal to every

The Pain and Misery

        Strangers - Dean Koontz         So in the eighties there was a race to see who the greatest horror writer was and there were only two names that I can think of right of the top of my head. Sure, there may have been others, but King and Koontz were the ones who had the biggest followings. King was more of a horror guy and Koontz for the most part was all sorts of different things. I was team King and always found Koontz a bit dry and boring but I do remember devouring Twilight Eyes. That was the only book of his I can remember reading and not being bored out of my skull. As an adult I occasionally revisit his stuff just to see if maybe the problem wasn't Koontz at all and just a result of my teenage brain not being equipped to deal with Koontz's writing style. The guy loves detail and aliens and conspiricies. His novels really seem to be all about the same shadowy figures lurking just out of our view. Nope, the problem wasn't me at all, it was all him. He's just

Just Another Week In Suburbia - Les Zig 5/5                                                                                                                                       I received a copy of Suburbia from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review        As I sit here trying to figure out my review, all I can say is this is a must read. It's anything but a typical week anywhere, and to think this all started over a condom that fell out a woman's purse. It's the catalyst for everything that suddenly goes wrong in Casper's life. This a meek man who slowly sees his entire life slipping away from him, and there's no way to stop the slide. It's more than just obsession that fuels Zig's novel. It's also how we see things, or even don't see them. Throughout the novel we see bits and pieces of just how much of a failure Casper is. The wall in the backyard, his dog who always seems to slip under the fence to irritate the neighbor, and even h
