The Streets of Floria, by J. B. Arnold

First, that cover is so awesome! Second, you wouldn’t guess this is a debut novel for J. B. Arnold.

I enjoyed this story a lot. There is some mystery, horrific scenes of death and an evil entity preying on people. The writing is superb, Arnold is definitely a gifted storyteller. The world building is awesome as well. Arnold goes into great detail to set up the story, but it isn't overly done.

The main character, Odin, has fled his home to move to the city of Floria. Right away, he becomes involved in an evil mystery surrounding the streets of Floria. There is something that is hunting down people, and the people are never seen again. The city has been haunted by this entity for years. Odin seeks the help of some new friends to find out what the creature is and how to, hopefully, stop it.

There are so many twists and turns in this story to keep you guessing. The ending though, holy smokes, that was a fantastic conclusion to this story! The way the story ends, I feel like there might be another book!

A fantastic novel to get completely lost in. For those that like a long story with a lot of development and action, a conclusion that satisfies but opens up possibilities, and an epic tale of deceit. I think this story is meant for everyone.

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.

At Home with the Horrors by Sammy Scott

This book of short stories is fabulous! I enjoyed every single story. They varied in true sense of horror, but they all had horrific endings, most you won’t see coming. What We Have Here is a heartwarming and terrifying story about a married couple who have some communication problems. Theresa is a never ending love story. This one will stick with me for a long time. Blackbird is when a dream becomes a nightmare. In the short story Sisters, a daughter needs help moving her mom to a retirement home. The mom doesn’t want to leave the home she grew up in. Peeping Tommy is your average neighborhood boogeyman. Or is he…. In Becca ; Becca and Bryan need help with someone watching their house at night. He keeps standing there staring and then starts to make some noises. Sleeptalker is an odd story about talking in your sleep. The couple use their phone to record what is being said. Re-birth is an outstanding story. I don’t want to give anything away, but the t...
