Let’s start this with “I don’t read horror.” It says it on my website, and I say it often to people who suggest it to me. However, never say never as there is always an exception and for me, that is this author. Years ago he pulled me in with a snarky recommendation of his … Continue reading Shattered Skies – Stories by Chris Miller

Season of the Spider: Copper Book 1 by JB Murray
Perfect for the season! Let me start by saying I previously did not have an issue with spiders – they did their thing, I did mine. Two tarantulas even lived in my game room for many years as pets of my son. Well, after reading this, my opinion has changed. STOMP them all! With realistic … Continue reading Season of the Spider: Copper Book 1 by JB Murray
Cerberus Rising by Patrick C. Harrison III, Chris Miller, M Ennenbach
When the ONE horror author you are willing to read says, "hey, want to read something I did with these other two horror authors?" Of course I said yes. I love the idea of being able to read some new authors and find some possible new books to read. It's like that sampler box of … Continue reading Cerberus Rising by Patrick C. Harrison III, Chris Miller, M Ennenbach
Dust (Splatter Western Book 3) by Chris Miller
Everything about this book is not my cup of tea and yet I keep coming back to this author and this series. It’s like that terrible accident that you just have to rubberneck. Thank goodness it’s summer with lots of daylight hours because I consumed this book in two days. Taking a departure from the … Continue reading Dust (Splatter Western Book 3) by Chris Miller
Eat: A little push, a gentle nudge and you’ll do anything By Blake R. Wolfe
In less than 50 pages this author took me from a scary campfire tale, to a lull of mental questioning, to a scary creature, to horror and right past that to gross horror. With no time to think or absorb, I was terrified. I’m not a huge horror or short story fan, but in this … Continue reading Eat: A little push, a gentle nudge and you’ll do anything By Blake R. Wolfe
The Damned Ones (The Damned Books #2) by Chris Miller
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, “Chris Miller’s books scare the crap out of me.” So why do I keep reading them? The man can weave a story! Twenty-six years have passed since The Damned Place, and life for the characters has been mostly normal. But you know it can’t last. This … Continue reading The Damned Ones (The Damned Books #2) by Chris Miller
Stories to Read by Candlelight By Patricia Worth, Jean Lorrain, Authors, Erin-Claire Barrow, Illustrator
This book is a translated version of stories from France in the 1890s. The current author and translator did a wonderful job keeping the old-time feel of the read. With the glorious use of language this is the perfect read for this time of year. The stories have the edge of scary; you know that … Continue reading Stories to Read by Candlelight By Patricia Worth, Jean Lorrain, Authors, Erin-Claire Barrow, Illustrator
The Damned Place by Chris Miller
I read very little horror; however, this author creates wonderful characters and storylines that I make an exception and read his books – in daylight, with someone else in the house and the dog next to me! With this story, I needed more than that. Let me start by saying I am not afraid of … Continue reading The Damned Place by Chris Miller
The Strange By J. B Murray
Yesterday on Twitter I placed a Dear J. B. Murray note asking him to please include a warning on his book. Not that kind of warning – more along the lines of Readers Beware, please turn off your phone and clear your schedule before reading this – you will not want to be interrupted once … Continue reading The Strange By J. B Murray
The Hard Goodbye By Chris Miller
I have read a few things by this author so I know that when I start one of his books I need a few things to be in place. Like daylight, someone close by, and a chunk of time because I won’t want to put it down. I took this read with me to the … Continue reading The Hard Goodbye By Chris Miller
