Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
Let me preface this by saying I always read a prologue, if it's there. I've realized that some people dislike them so much they'll just skip them altogether, and that's not where I'm at. If I'm reading a book, I read all parts of the book. Also, I don't mind them. There's nothing inherently bad... Continue Reading →
This book follows on from Frank Ford's adventures, after he's been appointed by an alien race to be the custodian of Earth. (You can find my review of book 1 here if you want to get caught up.) In the second book, our focus is taken away from Earth and onto other exciting planets. The... Continue Reading →
The Gatewatch is a fantasy novel with roots in Norse mythology and it releases today! I was lucky enough to chat with author Joshua Gillingham about his exciting debut. Hi Joshua. Tell me about your book. I can guess what it's about from the cover, but what's the story? Hello Trey! Thank you... Continue Reading →
Finally! It's been more than two years since I read the first book in this excellent series - the review of which you can find here - and I'm so happy to finally have this in my hand. I remember when I read the first one, thinking it was one of the best indie book... Continue Reading →
I doubt this book needs any introduction, but just in case: Family moves into hotel to look after it on the off-season. Hotel is haunted. Family becomes hotel victims. I really like King's writing style for this. It's a much shorter book than IT which I recently read, and feels more akin to The Dark... Continue Reading →
At the start of this year, I had a plan. A really good plan, if I get to say so myself. I made a calendar in Excel, mapped out when I'd be doing what, which of my manuscripts needed to be revised, edited, read through, and fixed. I had deadlines plotted in, and I even... Continue Reading →
I finally did it! Took me two months, but I finally read 'IT'. It's weird, because I feel like I've known this story all my life. Or been aware of it at least. Even though I only started reading Stephen King a few years ago, it's somehow ingrained itself as the ultimate horror story in... Continue Reading →
I finally got around to reading this, and I just have to get it out of the way and say: it's amazing! Whenever someone asks me for fantasy recommendations, I try to remember to recommend the Warcraft series. I suppose it helps that I've played the games, all the way back since the beginning of...

It's been a while since I've written anything on this blog, and while I have plans for some future posts and reviews, nothing is going as planned because of the Covid-19 outbreak. So I figured I'd write a bit about that first, and then about how my writing is going. If you've paid attention, you... Continue Reading →
All your favorite fairy tales from when you were little, rewritten for adults in a brilliant and grotesque display. I love this. I'm on a horror binge at the moment, but I'm busy wading my way through Stephen King's IT, so it was great to interrupt that with a short story like this. A palette... Continue Reading →
