Echoes of Violence by Glen Krisch
Echoes of Violence - Glen Krisch

Scientists blindly probing into the secrets of the universe....what could possibly go wrong?

In the capable hands of Glen Krisch, it can go wrong in ways even I didn't expect, as he takes the concept of zombie apocalypse and dashes past that signpost up ahead....the one Rod Serling is chain smoking next to....and winds up somewhere around the Outer Limits....and folks, let me tell you, it's one scary place to be. A place where the world has been reduced to a forever of one day, a day that ends in horror, only to begin again....and again...and again....unless a family can learn to remember, to survive, and to stay together at all costs.
And face a future I shudder to contemplate.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for something completely different by one of the most dependable authors in the business.

Highly recommended.

Expected publication: April 30th, 2019

Garden of Fiends
Garden of Fiends: Tales of Addiction Horror - Johann Thorsson,Max Booth III,Glen Krisch,Jessica McHugh,Kealan Patrick Burke,Mark Matthews,Jack Ketchum

 * The reality of addiction is darker than any fiction. *

"Drinking and drugging provide the height of human experience.

It's the promise of heaven on earth,

but the hell that follows is a constant hunger, a cold emptiness."

 Before I read even one story in this 'reality horror' anthology - Mark Matthews had me crying so hard that I could barely see. He presents an addiction anthology with compassion, casting no aspersions on anyone. I wan't to meet Mark Matthews, and give him the tightest hug ever.

 

"Imagine yourself drowning and being told not to swim to the surface for air. Obsessions should be so mild."

 

 

I'll have the full review posted soon - I was going over my notes for this review, and I'm bawling again.

One Sentence Review – Where Darkness Dwells by Glen R Krisch #GlenRKrisch
Where Darkness Dwells - Glen Krisch,Kealan Patrick Burke
 
 

BOO_2

 

I have read so many books and don’t have time to do long reviews for all of them, but I do want to share my thoughts. So…here is my…

 

One Sentence Review

 

Where Darkness Dwells by Glen R Krisch

 

10671932

Goodreads  /  Amazon

 

MY REVIEW

 

Coal mining and the great depression are horrors in their own right, but add to that an underground world where no one dies and they want you, (and if you are like me and a bit claustrophobic and afraid of being buried alive) Where Darkness Dwells by Glen R Krisch will have you cringing and shivering, maybe even keeping you up at night. LOL

 

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos 4 Stars

 

Goodreads Blurb:  During a hot summer night in 1934, tragedy strikes when two local boys search for the truth behind a local legend. They stumble upon the Underground, a network of uncharted caverns just below the surface of Coal Hollow. Time holds no sway in the Underground. People no longer age and their wounds heal as if by magic. By morning, one boy is murdered, while the other never returns home.

 

The Underground is hidden for a reason. Certain locals want to keep their lair secret, no matter the cost.

 

After learning a long-held family secret, Theodore Cooper is set adrift. Once well off and set in his ways, he is no longer sure of his role in society. He leaves his comfortable life in Chicago to tramp the countryside, searching for meaning in this new context. During his travels, he’s drawn to an abandoned house in Coal Hollow and impulsively buys it.

 

Cooper doesn’t know that a massacre had taken place in his new house. In 1851, a group of bounty hunters tracked a family of runaway slaves to the home. They wound up killing the homeowners as conspirators, then chased the runaways into a cellar tunnel leading to the Underground. The bounty hunters cornered the slaves and killed them. To everyone’s astonishment, the slaves then rose from the dead. Over time, the bounty hunters chose to stay below ground, taking advantage of their new slave labor to build what they term “Paradise.”

 

Their numbers are augmented by deathbed miners who are offered immorality in exchange for their subservience and labor.

 

Below a town struggling to survive both the Great Depression and the closing of the local coal mine, there lives an immortal society built on the backs of slavery and pervasive immorality.

Nothing Lasting
Nothing Lasting - Glen Krisch Glen Krisch pens a very good tale about growing up with loss, resentment, and love. And secrets. Dark secrets.

Noah Berkley's childhood is turned upside down with the separation of his parents and the death of his estranged grandfather. Forced to move to a new town and interact with kids he only had the barest recollection of, he must now search to fit in and find some sort of peace in his new environment. It doesn’t take long for it to go spiraling out of control however, and it is up to Noah to uncover deep town secrets and find the truth. In the process, he may save the love of his life and maybe himself in the process.

Another solid read from Mr. Krisch, who provided me a copy of this work in exchange for an honest review. I assure you that he did not have to twist my arm and I jumped at the opportunity. It did not disappoint and I recommend anything that Glen puts out there.

Nothing Lasting - Glen Krisch
Nothing Lasting - Glen Krisch

In 1984, Noah Berkley moves into his grandfather's old house with his father following his parent's divorce. Noah's memories are clipped and fuzzy of the times he spent here while his grandfather was alive. He vaguely remembers Derek, the older boy that lives next door and whose mother is now dating Noah's father. Noah is angry and spiteful over his father dragging him off to live here and now dating this other woman. His father his a firefighter who works various 24 hour shifts and one night while his father was at work, Derek pops in like him and Noah are best friends and whisks him away for what turns out to be a little nighttime mischief. With Derek as the ringleader, Noah winds up being along for the ride as Derek breaks into the neighbor's house and trashes it. Witnessing Derek's sudden transformation from average adolescent high jinx to out of control psycho plants the first seeds of loathing for him in Noah. Noah also meets Jenny Sparrow, the free-spirited girl next door, and love begins to blossom. All the while, children are going missing in the small town and paranoia starts to run deep amongst the residents as the police have no clue who is responsible. While Noah is going through this turbulent time in his life where his emotions are up and down like a never ending roller coaster, he also finds himself caught smack dab in the middle of a much darker and sinister events that will forever change his life.

 

Nothing Lasting is a wonderful coming-of-age story in the vein of Boy's Life and The Body. Krisch excels at bringing you back to what it's like to see with the eyes of a 12-year-old boy in 1984. The language, the setting, the feel of 1984 is spot on. We forget in today's world what it was like to be a latch-key kid. Krisch reminds us perfectly. Nothing lasting has a nice, slow build-up reminiscent of Charles Grant's work, too. This isn't a story meant to bludgeon you over the head with non-stop horror with little substance. Oh contrare, the exact opposite. Krisch builds us up making us feel as if we're in Noah's shoes and by the time he drops the bomb on him, it feels as if we're the ones caught in the crossfire. Highly recommended.
