Jonathan's first novel entitled Precious Blood, has been described as a "Taut and chilling...fast-paced thriller written by a real player in the game of forensic sleuthing" (Kathy Reichs). The sequel to Precious Blood, A Hard Death will be available in the US in the winter of 2009. Join us today for an interview with Jonathan Hayes. |
| Update for November 1, 2008 - New Book Review |
Our latest book review is of Curse of the Tarantula by Mike Segretto and is reviewed by Kerri Silva.
Kerri Silva is a Rider University grad, born and raised in New Jersey, USA. Her writing influences in the horror genre are Edgar Alan Poe, Stephen King and Dean Koontz. What really piqued her interest in the genre was the movies that her parents watched when they were her age: "The Evil Dead" and other low-budget movies about teenagers being picked off one-by-one. She enjoys psychological horror, however, her first love is the supernatural type of horror that can never be fully explained away. |

| Our short story feature entitled Those Between is by Lee Thompson. Lee is the author of three novels and names Tom Piccirrili, Douglas Clegg, Peter Straub and John Connolly as major writing influences. He is happy when his work makes someone smile or cry or feel any intense emotion. |

| NEW FEATURED BOOK EXCERPT |
Our featured book excerpt is from the debut novel of the talented Canadian writer - Richard S. Todd.
When the dead and beaten body of Jimmy Raincloud is discovered by a snowplow driver on a rural road, tension heats up between the white population of Scanlon Creek and the Native Americans of Sky Lake.
Scanlon Creek and Sky Lake have coexisted uneasily for years, their geographical closeness belying the wide cultural gulf between them. Racial animosity is never far from the surface, and it becomes increasingly volatile as more Native youths are found murdered in the wilderness outside of Scanlon Creek.
Primary investigator Hank Gillespie and partner Stephanie Whirlwind delve into the disturbing serial murders. Hank is plagued by vivid nightmares relating to the case, and he believes there may be a link to a mass murder committed by the Reverend Walter Tillman years before.The case proves to be one of police corruption, drug dealing, and depravity. Previous alliances between violent suspects are strained, and new ones are born, as the murders reshape the landscape of the criminal underworld. Hank and Stephanie must try to save their own lives as they uncover the true identity of the killer. |
