This one was a bit of a stretch.
This chap has something in common with me, and that is no one seems to be
purchasing his anthology. Could it be the title, I mean really? The cover art
is non-spectacular as well. It seems on the surface that not much effort and
forethought or creativity went into the creation of this anthology (hmmmm - mental note).
The anthology is a single author
offering of eight horror stories. Genre is correct enough by my estimation and
the over all theme is probably PG-13. My favorites were perhaps Ferryman 13 and
Bite of Satan, though neither left me thirsty for more. The tales are not poorly
written, just predictable and spent topics and delivery.
Not taking anything away from the
author. He can write, grammar seemed spot on (but I am no expert) and the
storyline held true to itself. It just isn’t anything to get excited about. I
did a little poking around and sense this is much of all there is from this
author. Perhaps he is new or this was a one-time shot?
In any case, for the reader – pass
especially based on the cost. For the writer, there is nothing here for you.
