Plot In his novella, Fearless, Ashley Lister takes the very thing that drives horror and bends it, toys with it, removes it completely. Lister takes a very simple, clever idea and presents it in a fast-paced, exciting, and horrifying way. The novella contains three sub-plots that weave around each other with each one being important and exciting on its own while working within the larger plot. This is not only impressive, but makes the book incredibly exciting and never lets up. Characters Ashley Lister does a clinic in this book on dialogue and characters. He makes us care about the characters, builds them up, makes them real. He builds their personalities, relationships, humor, their world and then uses our own emotions against us as his own tool for horror. The people in Fearless feel so real and carefully created that I truly cared for them as I was reading. A story is only as good as its characters and, thanks

Plot I love historical fiction novels. I love seeing how the author takes reality and mixes it in with their fictional characters and ideas. Author Marjorie DeLuca’s use of the true horror story of the serial killer Mary Ann Cotton and blending it with the true horror of Clara’s abusive relationships not only makes for a strong plot, but a very heavy and dark, clever and truly wrenching horror novel. This plot does not feel like fiction, it feels real and hits real emotions. The friendship between Cotton and the fictional Clara makes so much sense and works so well within the novel that it is hard to see where the fiction and fact line is. Both women are desperate, troubled and damaged. The reasons are different, but we see a murderer and a victim bound together by their pain and loneliness. The plot is developed and well presented to make for a powerful book about freedom, pain, abuse and

You all know of my insatiable love of both jizz and Russian history… but for the longest time I just couldn’t see how they could cum together… that was until I was able to slap my eerie eyeballs on the latest graphically embellished periodical about the insanely huge cock of that lovable wizard to the court of the Romanov dynasty; Rasputin’s Seed! Picture this; a young woman studying abroad happens to encounter the severed and preserved phallus of the aforementioned Big R. On the dare of a jilted lover, our heroine attempts to take a selfie with the member well in hand… but that demon dong has a monstrous mind all it’s own, and one bit o’ beastly bukkake later Rasputin is back on the scene and ready to cause all manner of shenanigans via his newly acquired avatar! As conjured forth from the aether by Andrew Saiger and Jason Keen (who also lettered and edited the terror tome) Rasputin’s

Plot This book is such a great zombie story! A new idea, a scary idea, and a very terrifying possibility. We love, trust, and baby our pets…but what happens when they turn into zombies? It’s so simple, but Ellie Douglas has really dug in and revealed what would happen in her gore-filled novel Hounded. I love the plot and I love how Douglas has taken something so uncomplicated and universal and made it into an extremely dark and twisted story. The plot moves forward quickly and the story works along with all the gore and violence. While this is new take on the world of zombies, much like other zombie stories, it explores human nature…the sickest parts of human nature. The animals are the villains, but the humans are the enemies. Characters For me personally, one of the most important elements of a zombie story is the characters. How invested in the doomed characters and I and how much do

Plot With Doctor Cushing out hunting down other mysteries and horrors, his museum is being taken care of by his twin daughters, Topaz and Opal. The premise of this plot is pretty simple, but that is a good thing! Author Stephen D. Sullivan takes this simple plot and creates a wonderful adventure into a love affair with horror. This novel feels like a loving tribute to all the classic horror monsters we know and love…werewolves, vampires, a wax museum and more. Sullivan obviously has a love of horror and that is obvious throughout this whole plot. Not only is a tribute to the classics, but it is a plot that stands alone and is an utterly entertaining adventure. Characters I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Obviously with Topaz and Opal being the main characters, the spotlight is really on them. They have a wonderful sister dynamic that is both realistic and entertaining. With the terrors they go through
