Featured on List of Ten Dark Fantasy Books Horror Fans Will Love

I woke up today to an email from Wiki.ezvid telling me they placed me in a list, (#4) to be exact, of ten dark fantasy books horror fans will love.

Blood Talk: Creating New Worlds

We needn’t paint obtuse colors of expression on our character’s faces all the time (I was a fan of this when I first started writing), their dialogue and small mannerisms can help paint a picture that can, with every little nuance, create a greater, more believable world.

The Dark World & Reviews

This is going to be kind of short as I’m in my library at school and want to get back to writing before I head to my next class (stay in school kids!), but I just wanted to share some reviews with you guys that I’ve received for THE DARK WORLD: BOOK 1 recently.

REVIEW: The Black Seas of Infinity by Dan Henk
As usual, I’m posting my Goodreads review first:The Black Seas of Infinity by Dan Henk My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a very well-put together read. In hindsight, I feel like I watched an awesome, well thought-out movie. The pacing was excellent, the character was interesting, and you really feel drawn into his world.The character’s thoughts were realistic, and what I love about Henk’s work is that while set in the real world, (relatively), there are hints of mysticism and downright out-thereness that just works.It took me so long to read because I’m terrible with reading things lately,…
Review: Dead Spots by Rhiannon Frater

In the dead spots, dreams become reality, terror knows your name, and nightmares can kill you.

The stillbirth of Mackenzie’s son destroyed her marriage. Grieving, Mac reluctantly heads for her childhood home to seek refuge with her mother, who constantly reminds her of life’s dangers.

Driving across Texas, Mac swerves to avoid hitting a deer…and winds up in a dead spot, a frightening place that lies between the worlds of the living and the dead. If they can control their imaginations, people can literally bring their dreams to life—but most are besieged by fears and nightmares which pursue them relentlessly. 

Mackenzie’s mother and husband haunt her, driving her to the brink of madness. Then she hears a child call for help and her maternal instincts kick into overdrive. Grant, Mac’s ally in the dead spots, insists Johnny is a phantom, but the boy seems so real, so alive….

As the true horrors of the dead spots are slowly revealed, Mackenzie realizes that time is running out. But exits from the dead spots are nearly impossible to find, and defended by things almost beyond imagination.

Burning Bridges by Nadege Richards: Review
Kill or be killed. Love or let go. 

In a world divided between the Hunters and the Warriors, the prisoners who have fallen prey to King Cyrus’s decrees are forced into the arena to fight until death. The winner is granted mercy and the privilege to see another sunrise–for the loser, it’s death unto the weak. 

Seventeen year-old Princess Echo races towards freedom to find out who she really is, and to put a world that has been swallowed by lies back together again. 

And then there’s Ayden. His very existence as a Hunter is forbidden, and with his otherworldly, violet eyes Echo is finding it hard to stay away from him. When death threatens their forbidden love Echo and Ayden are forced to do the unthinkable–how far will they go to be together?  
My Review of Animosity by James Newman | Other Reads: Sad Wings of Destiny & Tentyrian Legacy
I recently finished Animosity by James Newman. I wrote up a review on Goodreads. But I will post it here for your viewing pleasure: Animosity by James Newman My rating: 4 of 5 stars The horror that exists when those you once said ‘hello’ to turn on you. It’s even worse when you understand that they don’t care why they’ve turned on you. Anger, revenge…they turn the nicest people into monsters that are worse than anything our minds can conjure up. For one, they’re real. And that’s the scariest thing of all. Andrew Holland is the protagonist in this unsettling tale, and he’s a…
