Albert Shipway is an ordinary guy, an insurance negotiator who likes booze and women and never having to say he’s sorry.

And he thinks this is just another day, another lunch, another order of kung pao chicken. Little does he know that he’s about to meet a little old lady who knows his greatest fear. A little old lady who knows what’s hiding in his heart.

In just a matter of minutes, Albert’s life turns upside down and he enters a world where magic and evil lurk beneath the fabric of Southern California. And all his choices have brewed a perfect storm of broken hearts, broken promises, shattered families, and a couple of tiny problems. Namely, killer mice and a baby.

Albert Shipway is finally getting a chance to right some wrongs.

An omnibus edition of three novels of horror by author Ian Woodhead

Spores: Everyone over the age of 40 has been wiped out by an unidentified fungal plague. Only the young remain. The survivors leave their shelters and emerge into a world blanketed with clouds of drifting spores.
They believe that the worst is over, now is the time to start re-building. They have yet to encounter the abominations, altered by the spores. They thought the plague was the end.
The plague is just the beginning.

Shades of Green: Like maggots eager for flesh, the pale tendrils pushed up through the woodland soil. The alien vine penetrated flora and fauna, its intimate caress altering everything at a genetic level.
Deep underground, the vast machine grew as it tunneled through the earth, slowly bearing towards the small town of Holburn.
The Aliens arrived millions of years ago. The invasion has just begun.

Third Sight: Driving its serrated talons through their hot skin fills it with unbelievable pleasure. Only the immense waves of life energy detonating from its chosen watcher can come close to the almost orgasmic experience of deleting their physical form from this realm.
Adrian Winters is unaware that close to his home, a newborn demon has chosen him to be the watcher. Very soon, his loving family and all his friends are about to become food for the demon.

Sebastion Redfield is being hunted.

A young man on the brink of true adulthood, Redfield experiences the trauma of his life when a trespasser breaks into his home. The psychiatrist assigned to help him recover from the break-in begins to unravel a more disturbing truth about his ordeal: that someone or some thing has been hunting him.

Touted as "Jason McIntyre's most complex, multi-layered, and disturbing work," THALO BLUE delves into the life and times of Sebastion who, through his unique condition, may be the only person alive able to stop the mysterious "thief". This figure is unstoppable, even by death it seems, and he wants something that only Sebastion possesses. An explosive confrontation in his home during the middle of a brutal winter begins their terrifying encounter, one that will eventually stretch across a city, a township and a country.

Recovery is Sebastion's next phase of life--and not just physical recovery but an emotional healing from a life of family drama and the burden of being 'gifted'. Sebastion and the psychiatrist assigned to help him deal with the break-in quickly realize that the ordeal is not over. Now, to save his own life, he and the therapist must dredge up his dark, painful past for clues as to who or what the terrifying thief may be.

Part literary noir, part mystery, and part horror, THALO BLUE is sure to paralyze readers and keep them gnawing at their nails at each startling revelation.
 
 
 
 
 
 

REVIEW: THE SERPENT'S BITE BY WARREN ADLER

THE SERPENT'S BITE
WARREN ADLER
GENRE: FICTION

AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 4, 2012

SYNOPSIS:

"How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child"
"King Lear," William Shakespeare

This famed quote by William Shakespeare finds its modern meaning in this taut, fast-paced, remarkable novel by renowned author Warren Adler. "The Serpent's Bite" will take you on a frightening horse trek through the far reaches of the Yellowstone wilderness that turns a father's quest to deal with parental guilt and reunite with his two adult children into a nightmare of lust, betrayal, entrapment, and death. Beyond the revelations of dark family secrets, readers will discover how an obsession for celebrity and blind ambition can distort familial love and turn a beloved child into a grotesque monster. Courtney Temple is sure to be judged as one of those most evil women in fiction, alongside the likes of Lady Macbeth, Medea, and the Wicked Witch of the West. Adler's latest novel takes its place next to the iconic "The War of the Roses," in which the author exposed the true nature of marital dysfunction.




MY TAKE



I received this book as an early reviewer.

I have had such great luck with all the books I have gotten for early reviews. I figured this one would be no different and I would enjoy it tremendously—well, not so much, it was more just “Okay” for me.

I found The Serpent's Bite to have some “dead spots” that can cause some readers to become disinterested and simply stop reading. It was also somewhat repetitive. I didn't really connect with the characters as well as I should have. The man's children were superficial and just plain terrible.

I'm sure there are some readers who will enjoy this book, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

REVIEW: THE STRAIN BY GUILLERMO DEL TORO


THE STRAIN
STRAIN TRILOGY BK 1
GUILLERMO DEL TORO & CHUCK HOGAN
GENRE: HORROR

SYNOPSIS

At New York's JFK Airport an arriving Boeing 777 taxiing along a runway suddenly stops dead. All the shades have been drawn, all communication channels have mysteriously gone quiet. Dr. Eph Goodweather, head of a CDC rapid-response team investigating biological threats, boards the darkened plane...and what he finds makes his blood run cold.

A terrifying contagion has come to the unsuspecting city, an unstoppable plague that will spread like an all-consuming wildfire—lethal, merciless, hungry...vampiric.

And in a pawnshop in Spanish Harlem an aged Holocaust survivor knows the war he has been dreading his entire life is finally here.





MY TAKE



I can't wait to read the next book in The Strain trilogy! From beginning to end, this book is 585 pages and I finished it in 3 short days. That is how engrossed I was with this story! The vampires in this story are of the terrifying variety with a twist.

Some have complained that this book reads more like a movie script, but I didn't find that to be so. I think some expect it to be as such just by seeing Guillermo Del Toro's name on the cover.

Highly recommended!




 

Super Excited!

I WON I WON I WON!

Okay, just in case you didn't get the memo, I am super excited because I just got the word from AmandaAshley.com that I was selected the winner of her July contest! I will be anxiously awaiting the arrival of my awesome prizes: a signed copy of STROKE OF MIDNIGHT, cover proofs for HIS DARK EMBRACE and DESIRE THE NIGHT, and assorted Ashley bookmarks.
 

REVIEW: COMPLETE POEMS BY EDGAR ALLAN POE


COMPLETE POEMS
EDGAR ALLAN POE
GENRE: POETRY

SYNOPSIS

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) is internationally renowned as a pioneering master of the macabre. He is regarded as one of the world's great short story writers as well as a great lyric poet, and is credited with inventing the detective story and the modern gothic horror tale. He has been an important influence on many major American and European writers including William Faulkner, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Baudelaire, H.P. Lovecraft, and William Butler Yeats, among many others.
Poe's poetry, which is collected in this volume, is more personal than his prose. The themes of love, death, and despair which recur throughout reflect the anguish he suffered in his own troubled life. "Annabel Lee" is a haunting lament to his young wife, Virginia, who died of tuberculosis. "The Bells" is an eerie and melancholy meditation which recreates with brilliant musical language the hypnotic, funereal aura of ringing bells. "The Raven" is a comic tour de force in which the protagonist turns his strange visitor into a symbol of his own sorrow and loss. Poe's best poems remain some of the most popular and technically accomplished in the English language.
This book features a deluxe cover, ribbon marker, top stain, and decorative endpaper with a name plate.





MY TAKE



If you have never read anything (short story or poem) by Edgar Allan Poe, I would suggest starting with this book. You may find that many of Poe's poems strange, depressing, or just downright weird. Some of them strike me that way as well. However, this collection contains some poems that MUST be read. My all time favorite by Poe is The Raven, which is included in this book. Others that I feel are worth mentioning are: Annabel Lee, A Dream Within a Dream, Serenade, The Sleeper, Romance, and Evening Star.
