Kiss Me Where It Smells Funny
From Christina's Critiques:
What happens when an urban legend and a bunch of college frat boy rapists come face to face? An absolute blood bath of insanity! Butler always delivers when it comes to folk lore (it’s my favorite from him - Hello, emotional damage of 2021 with Pope Lick Massacre). Oh, and I die in it. EXTRA BONUS. 5 stars!
From The Mort Report:
I know what you’re thinking, but you are totally wrong. There is no dentist chair and laughing gas in this story. Very solid creature feature for the whole, twisted family.
4 Stars

White
From Christina's Critiques: Who is this author and how can I stalk him for more releases?! Have a trash Mother-in-Law? Hate snow like I do now? Have family secrets that can rip it apart? Like claustrophobic stories? Then friends, this one is for you. I said, “Holy shit”, more than watching a Facebook drama implosion. 5 stars!

Feeder
From Christina's Critiques: I’m a fatty. No bones about it. But… I don’t want to be fed, it’s not hot. But this guy and gal in this story do. This one is so uncomfortable from beginning to end. And where he goes with this story… I just, absolutely revolting and I loved it! I’m hunting more down from Harrison because of it. 5 stars!

Tears of a Clown
From The Mort Report: Those damn Halloween clowns ruined it for everybody! I will admit, I found this story good, but not great, until the last two pages.
That pushed it up to a very impressive 4.5 STARS!

Bloodbath at the Blue Cracker Inn
From Christina's Critiques: Valentine’s Day sucks. It sucks even more when your shift has two drunk frat boys, an idiot supervisor, gun toting, trigger happy patrons, and a side of pandemonium. Fast paced short with plenty of blood and gore. 4 stars.

Every Woman Knows This
By Laurel Hightower
“Every Woman Knows This” is an experience. It’s a journey through the darkest places of the female mind, heart, body, and soul. A probing quest into her deepest fears and most vulnerable thoughts. The things we cannot voice and are taught not to voice, not to feel, not to speak upon. Laurel brings the rawest parts of female emotion to the surface and demands that you see them, feel them, and acknowledge them. “Every Woman Knows This” is a beautifully written, deeply emotional, artistic accomplishment from Laurel Hightower.
5 stars.

Strange Little Ghouls
by Wendy Dalrymple
I listened to the Audible version of Strange Little Ghouls and I’m very glad that I did. It was exceptional, both in narration and in content. The stories are widely varied, unique in their voice, and emotional in their telling. This is the first time I have read and/or heard anything by Wendy and it will not be the last.
4 stars.

They Mostly Come at Night
By Wesley Southard
This new collection from Wesley Southard is a shining example as to why he is one of horror’s rising stars. With everything from short, shocking bites of terror to bone-chilling, haunting and disturbing, it is exactly what a collection from an author with Wesley’s talent, style and range should be.
Perfection.
5 stars.

The Wild Dark
By Katherine Silva
Katherine Silva has penned an incredible tale of love, loss, redemption, and the beyond in her story, The Wild Dark. With a unique take on the afterlife, Silva brings the apocalypse to us in the form of long-dead spirits, hideous creatures intent on capturing lost souls, and purgatory on earth.
Raw emotion blends well with intense fear and crushing revelations on every enthralling page.
5 stars.
