The Eater of Gods by Dan Franklin, Cemetery Dance Publications



I don’t typically read horror archeological stories, but I gotta say, The Eater of Gods is fantastic. The first part of the book, where we meet the key players of the story, is set at a good pace. It is not overdone or underdone, it is just right. When it picks up speed about a third through, it doesn’t let up until the bitter end. It is definitely an intense story.


Norman Haas has promised his dying wife that he would continue her voyage in finding the tomb of the Egyptian Princess, Kiya. Through the University his wife worked with, Norman and three other researchers head to Libya when they think they figured out where Princess Kiya rests. When they arrive at the tomb, they are immediately drawn into hours of terror and delirious thoughts. Sights and sounds are playing tricks on their minds. They don’t know what to do when everything seems the same but it doesn’t feel right. In the end, none of it matters.


This book is classified as a supernatural thriller, but it does have some horror elements to it. There are some gory scenes as well as some shocking psychological scenes. Once the group was trapped in the tomb, I could not put this one down. This is a story filled with pain and suffering and physical tormenting. In the end, I am realizing I will never ever be interested in going on a tour of an old tomb, I can promise that.

The Trunk by Mia Dalia

  This was a crazy story! It starts out smooth as molasses and then gets all twisted and dark. It’s one of those stories that escalates quickly going all outta left field. Bogdan and his wife buy their first home together and it comes with a basement… with a trunk in the basement. Nothing else is down in the basement but this weird trunk. He doesn’t think too much of it at first. Until he finally decides to open the trunk. Mia Dalia writes fantastic stories. She has quite an imagination to give her stories lots of twists and turns. She told me once that she enjoys psychology and I think she writes with that in mind. Her writing style invokes humanity’s inner demons and pushes the mind to harrowing events. If you are in the mood for a quick horror story with a psychological twist, you need to read The Trunk and Smile So Red by Mia; she will dig into your brain.

The Deading by Nicholas Belardes

 This is genuinely a wonderful story. The Deading is one of the best pieces of literary horror I have read. It guides you through so many emotions and inner demons of all the characters. From the young to the old, The Deading highlights the differences of what age and time can do to change the strengths and compassion of an individual. While priorities are always different when we grow older, the basic need to survive and to be loved… never changes. Belardes reminds us that even though we have faults, we are each unique and have the capabilities to survive difficulties and come out stronger and better.  This is a strong character-driven narrative with some ornithology, creature features, and suspense. Under the watchful eye of the government, a small sea-side town tries to survive an infliction upon them. The people are changing. The once quiet and calm town has become a ruthless and dangerous community. The anxiety and stress of living in this changed town takes a toll on so ...
