A BigBoobenstein Family Christmas - Jeff O'Brien 5/5  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018CWL4Q6?keywords=Jeff%20O%27Brien&qid=1450492916&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2


                                                                


     'Tis the season to be jolly and what better way to chase away those blues than with a twisted Christmas tale? During the holidays I try and read as many Christmas themed stories as I can, but this year I am way way behind on reviews. I did want to read a couple of stories though and I had to check out O'Brien's latest tale of the Boobenstein saga. This is the kind of book you should read while sipping eggnog and wearing an ugly sweater. 

     Here's the deal. O'Brien writes like a twelve year old with ADD and that's not a bad thing. One of the reasons I like this guy so much is because he writes stories that read like classic 80's B-rate horror films. As I read this it was obvious that O'Brien doesn't mind slapping around tradition and creating something that will make you laugh. If you don't like the idea of the virgin birth being reenacted or Krampus running amok and slapping people with his penis then this book is for you. 

     It's a short read that's written in the usual O'Brien style. Expect a lot of sex and juvenile humor. That's the cornerstone of this guy's work. He knows how to craft a story that is completely crazy, but well written. This is a holiday themed book that doesn't follow the normal rules of Christmas story telling. It's like exactly what would happen if you're drunk uncle decided to tell the most twisted Christmas story he could think of. I think we need an O'Brien Christmas story every year. As a fan it's the perfect holiday read that you know isn't going to be politically correct but who cares. This is a holiday classic that you should definitely check out.

     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 ev...

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 s...

 It Always Bites You In The End - Michael Fisher  5/5 stars                                                                         I have to admit that lately I haven't been reading a lot of horror, but it's not because I'm bored with the genre. I've become hooked on suspense thrillers. Why am I mentioning this while reviewing Michael Fisher's latest release? Because at it's core, it's exactly what a suspense thriller is, but there's also a bit of the supernatural in there as well to give it a little kick. Fisher is a talented writer that has essentially created the perfect book, and It Always Bites You In The End keeps you guessing until the very last page. The bodies began piling up, and they all seem to be linked to the tattoos that the deceased have recently acquired. Sounds pretty simple...
