Hoaxes and Other Stories By Brian DiNuzzo
I picked up this book at the North Texas Book Festival. Most of you know that I have a love/hate relationship with short stories.

Such was the case with this book … Continue reading Hoaxes and Other Stories By Brian DiNuzzo

Shattered Skies – Stories by Chris Miller
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
The Realm of Tiny Giants by Dale E. Lehman
I have typed before about my love of a good short story collection. Variety is the spice of life and this collection is full of variety.

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.
