  Well this was a bloody good story! Literally. A lot of blood. And gore. It was quite a rush! The title says it all and fits the story perfectly. Angelica and Don are on vacation at a secluded cabin in the middle of the Scottish highlands. At first, the time spent together was nice and quiet. Then, all of a sudden, things change drastically and fast. Angelica and Don fight for their lives while inbred brothers are on the hunt for dinner and some other torturous fun. This story has lots of violence, gore, blood, assault, and gruesome death scenes. You gotta love a good survival story of this magnitude. I think the next time you go camping, you should bring this one with you.

In Auchenmullan, the small Scottish town, the only four remaining teengagers are surviving and on bowling and drinking. One day, a young woman is passing through and meets the four teenagers. Three of the teenagers and the newcomer decide to go check out the only cool thing in town, Maggie’s Grave. On the way to the grave, Maggie's sad story unfolds.  This was an absorbing book for me and I read it in two sittings. It pulled me in quickly and held my attention the entire time. I didn’t have any dull moments with the story. It gave the old school vibe of how horror stories used to be written. The dark and gloomy and straight to the gore and fear. You will have to read it to see what I mean. If I explain why I got the old school vibes anymore I would have to give you spoilers.  This is my first exposure to Sodergren. I plan to read more of his books. I have another on my TBR list that I am going to move on up the list.  If you want a sad and scary ghost story, lots of gore,...

  All you indie authors are just amazing writers. Practically everything I have read has been amazing! And today I finished another fantastic book by Eric Butler, The Pope Lick Massacre. This story is full of adrenaline and gore. Just the right amount in my opinion. Sam’s brother and his boy scout group are missing. A group of people get together, with the help of a police officer, to go and find them. But what they found, nobody could be prepared for. In this story, the town's worst horrific myth comes true. What follows is a massacre! Butler’s writing is candid and fast. While there may not be a lot of world building; there is a lot of dramatical events that make you speed read with the need to find out what happens. The action and the gore gets your heart racing and before you know it, the ending is here and you drop your jaw! Oh the ending was epic! I did not see that coming. Well played Eric!! If you are wanting to read a quick weekend story, look no further. Once the story ge...

  Y’all this book of short stories was so much fun to read!   Fang Fiction by  LM Kaplin .  Kaplin   is an awesome story teller. You should definitely put this on your TBR list! This book has ten short stories and an ode about vampires. Basically, it is like a historical story on how vampires came to be, and where they came from, to the future when vampires are known across the world. Starting in Jerusalem 969 BC and ending in an underground city in the year 2115. It is broken down into ten stories, all with when and where the vampires surface. Normally I like to take each story and give a little blurb about it and how much I enjoyed them, but the stories in this book are hidden gems that you need to read. Kaplin is great at world building and character development. The first story,  The Garden Tomb , is a perfect example of how well Kaplin can describe a world that is easy to visualize. With the stories  The Vampire of Notre Dame  and  Facto...

  This was quite a story to get lost in. It took me a bit to really get into the story, but once it got going, it was definitely worth reading. The character development was great, the world setting was brilliant, and the story became bewitching. It is about an expedition that does not go according to plan.  Dr. Siena Dupont and her team, also her personal friends, are on an expedition to the Alpenglow glacier. Siena, Cameron, Isaac, and Emmett, are met with odd occurrences and try to piece together what is happening. First, the glacier is completely gone. Second, there is a dead body hanging in a tree. Third, a couple of them keep seeing shadows in the forest.  While the four are exploring and trying to understand what is happening, far away, Holden Sharpe, who works in the IT department of a University, comes across some audio files that Dr. Dupont recorded and somehow found their way to Holden. He and a co-worker, Angel, are also putting together what has happened to D...

  D. T. Neal has a different way of telling a story that sets him apart from other authors I have read. His writing is smooth and expressive. I have not come across an author that can take hold of my passion of reading and bring it up a level. I find myself wanting to read all of Neal’s books, because his writing is on the same volume as what I am looking for in a great book. Summerville by D. T. Neal is the perfect horror novella. It has witty banter, horror, and human v. nature. It is not a completely tense filled horror story, but it does give you pause to think and consider the outcome after the story ends. Three friends take a road trip to Summerville in hopes of finding 150 year old brandy. Summerville has a horrible past that it can not escape. What starts out as a fun jaunt to a little town turns into a disastrous and evil end for these three. This story is more than just a group of friends finding evil, it is about mother nature claiming its land. For fans of Day of the Tr...
