I love animal tales, especially those about dogs. Lassie, Marley and Me, they brought tears to my eyes. “Von” was no exception, though in his case they were tears of laughter. Von's antics had me laughing out loud. Behind the mischief though, there lay a heart of gold. Von was a loyal dog who did his job well yet brought light-relief to his security partner Alfred.
This was an enjoyable read. It reminded me of the movie “From Dusk til Dawn”, in that it started out as a typical gangster story and then morphed into a tale of vampires.
Very bad editing in the kindle edition, numerous typos.
This is a witty account of the lives of the cheeky chappies from Newcastle, from their days on Byker Grove to the present day via sm:tv and the Australian Rainforest. A very enjoyable read.
An interesting police procedural with a difference. The main protagonist Rowan Gant, is a consultant to the St Louis P.D, not as a forensic psychologist, but as a Witch.
“Ghoul Squad” brings us the first three books in the Rowan Gant series and while I enjoyed them, one little detail annoyed me. Felicity's “celtic brogue”. None of the Irish people I know, (and I am Irish myself), speak this way. But that is the only gripe I have. Great books, well worth a read.
This final instalment of Paul O Grday's autobiography is perhaps the most poignant. It is the '80s and AIDS rears it's ugly head. Paul, now working as a drag artist has seen many friends struck down by the disease, and a rise in homophobia.
In the midst of all this a star is born....Lily Savage.
I laughed, I cried, I loved this book.
I have to confess I didn't actually finish this book. Despite a promising start, after a few chapters it got progressively boring and i just lost interest in it. I love a scary story but “Book of Trinity” was very disappointing.
This is the funniest book I have read in ages. Just reading the cast of characters had me laughing out loud; Sir Elton on the John, Sir Paul McStrawberry Fields Forever, Sir Michael who Can't Get No Satisfaction and Sir Cliff who was Wired For Sound. A darkly hilarious, madcap tale. I loved it.
This wasn't as gripping as “The Third Floor”, but had enough spooky moments to keep me reading. Really like this author and his “Angel Hills” books though.
I really enjoyed this book. It is a collection of 10 stories, 5 apiece by C. Dennis Moore and David Bain. As I have not read any of David Bain's work this was a good introduction. The stories are delightfully creepy, great spinetingling reads. I look forward to reading more by these authors.
I've read a lot of drivel on the wattpad app on my smartphone, but this collection of short stories is a gem. Stories to chill and to thrill. I loved it.
I'm a lover of horror fiction, especially collections of short horror. I did not enjoy this collection. While the stories were indeed short they were far from creepy, and the writing style was stilted and repetitive. The final story in the collection was a two-parter with it's conclusion in volume two but I won't be buying it as I have no interest in how it ends.
An interesting collection of short horror tales with a twist at the end that leave you wanting more.
“Box of Boo” is a collection of 4 full-length novels, “The Home”, “Meat Camp”, “Spider Web” and “After the Shock”.
I enjoyed the first two books, seriously creepy and gory.
I struggled with book 3 as it was part of a vampire series which I haven't read and book 4 didn't hold my interest at all. 2 out of 4 ain't bad though.
I loved this book. The 10 tales in this collection are wonderfully creepy and have a satisfying twist at the end, especially when the villain of the piece gets his comeuppance. I am adding this author to my list of favourites.
“The Doll's House” is another great read from Tania Carver. The action has shifted to Birmingham, and there are new characters to meet, but they are well fleshed out. It has all the plot twists and turns the reader hes come to expect from Carver. A thrilling read.
Loved this anthology of short horror fiction. With contributions from great writers such as Adam Nevill, Stephen Volk and Ramsey Campbell, there are shivers aplenty to be had.
I enjoyed this book. 4 spooky short stories that live up to their name. Wonderfully athmospheric and not too short. Well worth a read.
I like Billy Wells. His story ideas are fresh and original and nearly always have an unexpected twist at the end. “Scary Stories” Vol 1 is no exception. “The Iceman” and “Cold Calls” are my particular favorites. The stories are a bit longer than Wells' previous stories, but are not drawn out. A very satisfying read.
Many great authours, one great thriller. I enjoyed this immensely. Well written and the story flowed seamlessly.
Would very much like to see another thriller written by various authors.
This was a chilling collection of tales with some interesting characters such as the young boy who could raise the dead, the young man who dug up corpses in the hopes of giving his mother a liver transplant and the serial killers who had the tables turned on them by a waitress.
A clever, easy read.
This book was brilliant. Every time I thought I'd worked out who the killer was, I was proved wrong. The many twists kept me guessing. I highly recommend it.
An absolutely brilliant book. The heroine, Rutthie Gillespie, is one of my favourite characters from the mind of this author. I've met her in other books and have grown fond of her. Throughout this book I worried about her and feared for her safety. That, to me, is the sign of a well written book, that you can feel the menace oozing through the pages, and feel the panic the characters feel.
Did Rutthie come to harm? Well, you'll just have to read the book and find out.
