Book Review: Feed by Mira Grant

Review by Scott Lefebvre
It’s a book about zombies.
Which is always a good sign because whatever flaws there might be in a book if it’s got zombies in it, then that’s like a “+1” modifier.
It’s also about family and modern communication and living life after the inevitable outbreak.
When I started reading this book I was getting [...]

Book Review: The Unit: A Novel by Terry DeHart

Review by Scott Lefebvre
“In a post-nuclear world, family is everything.”
I received this book, submitted for review through a friend.
I received three books at the same time and decided to go for this one first, since I’m a fan of post-apocalyptic films and fiction.
It’s a story about a family, headed by an ex-military father, trying to [...]

Book Review: The Canal by Daniel Morris

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier
In The Canal by Daniel Morris, a deadly monster lurks beneath the waste and stink of a city’s sewage canal, leaving behind the skinned remains of its victims. Detective Joe Lombardi has a certain affinity for solving canal crimes, so he’s put on the case. His tragic past has afforded [...]

Book Review: And Falling, Fly by Skyler White

Written by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier
And Falling, Fly is a beautifully poetic work by author Skyler White. I first became acquainted with Skyler through Women in Horror Month and her intriguing interview made me want to check out her novel.
And let me say, as much as I was impressed by her interview I was doubly [...]

In the richly descriptive Incarnadine: The True Memoirs of Count Dracula: Volume One, we are given a detailed account of the man that will come to be known as Count Dracula in his early years. We see what life was like for “Konstantin Kuzmanov” when he was a man and [...]

Book Review: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier
Right on the heels of the delightful Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (review) comes its prequel, Dawn of the Dreadfuls. Dawn of the Dreadfuls is a completely original work (it’s not based on an Austen classic like the original was) with a different author than P & P & Z. [...]

Book Review: Queen Victoria – Demon Hunter by A.E. Moorat

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier
I started reading Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter right after seeing Young Victoria (what can I say, I’m a sucker for period dramas!) and was delighted to find that this book parallel the film in many ways. Well, at least in historical accuracy regarding the Queen’s ascension to the throne, members [...]

Book Review: The Death Panel: Murder, Mayhem and Madness Edited by Cheryl Mullenax

Review by Fatally Yours
Comet Press follows up its fantastic short story collection Vile Things: Extreme Deviations of Horror (review) with The Death Panel: Murder, Mayhem and Madness. Like Vile Things, The Death Panel is edited by Cheryl Mullenax and she definitely knows how to pick ‘em! The Death Panel is chock full of vicious, ultra-violent [...]

Book Review: The Best of Joe R. Lansdale

Review by Fatally Yours
Even if you don’t think you’ve ever heard of Joe R. Lansdale, I bet you have. Have you seen Bubba Ho-Tep? Or perhaps watched the Masters of Horror episode Incident On and Off a Mountain Road? Well, both of those were adapted (pretty faithfully, I might add) from Lansdale stories. The witty, [...]

Book Review: Dead America by Luke Keioskie

Review by Fatally Yours
Dead America is nitty-gritty look at the stitched-up underbelly of America after there’s no more room in hell and the dead are forced to walk to earth. Except these zombies don’t like to eat brains and aren’t just shambling hordes of rotting flesh. These undead want equal rights and to be treated [...]
