The creation of this site was inspired by the owners mother, partner, and mentors. For those that read, thank you for taking the time out of your day.

The requisite "best of..." post is now available. It is, of course, restricted to the books of horror, a group that, in a clear indication of devotion to the nature of this website. Without further ado, the top three are as follows:
By Carl Shuker
by Nathan Ballingrud
by Michael Marshall Smith
"I had high expectations of Anti Lebanon. These expectations were exceeded. In my view, Shuker's latest novel stands on par with, and in most respects is superior to, the work of Arundhati Roy, Michael Ondaatje, Kazuo Ishiguro, and James Kelman. It is that good."
"This collection of short stories is nothing short of stellar. The characters are down on their luck, desperate people, haunted by their choices and the state of their lives. There’s something beautifully disturbing in these characters horrific evolutions as the story events forever change them."
"In addition to his knack for probing life's darker side, [Michael Marshall Smith] is a skilled, insightful explorer of human feelings and frailties, as shown in "Sad,Dark Thing", the superb "Substitutions," where the desire to live a different life and to share it with a different person cruelly turns into an horrific outcome, and the splendid, technological but compassionate "The Good Listener" where a man tracks down his deceased father's last days during a trip in California. [This is] a marvellous collection which simply cannot be missed."
