Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier
What if Dante’s Inferno was based on truth? What if in his life Dante faced such insurmountable horror that he wrote it all down but had to pass it off as fiction because it was just too unbelievable?
Well, that is the premise behind Kim Paffenroth’s new novel, Valley of the [...]

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours†Jahier
Blending ‘50s pulp novel sensibilities with modern potty-mouthed wit and characters pulled from a John Waters film with a cybergoth twist, Let Me Die A Woman is a kick ass debut from Irish author Alan Kelly!
The novel opens with a rather innocuous scarecrow festival in a small town…or so it [...]

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours†Jahier
Jenny’s Dance was originally published in Australia in 1989, but after the small publisher went belly up the book went out of print. Twenty years later author Bruce Kaplan made a few small tweaks and decided to re-release the book himself in 2009.
Of course if you ask me, the book [...]

“Professor Jack Barnes has a new passion: Brains. It’s in his nature…he’s a zombie. But Barnes has something most other victims of the zombie apocalypse don’t have: sentience. In fact, he can even write. And the story he has to tell is truly disturbing – yet strangely heartwarming.
Convinced [...]

William Heaney is a man well acquainted with demons. These demons are not his broken family – his wife has left him for a celebrity chef, his snobbish teenaged son despises him, and his daughter’s new boyfriend resembles Nosferatu – nor his drinking problem, nor his unfulfilling government job, but [...]

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 [...]

Review by Scott Lefebvre
“In a post-nuclear world, family is everything.â€
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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
