A Haunting Fusion of Hemingway and Lovecraft

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jorah Kai's The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu is a brilliant reimagining of Ernest Hemingway’s classic The Sun Also Rises, infused with a chilling Lovecraftian twist. Kai takes Hemingway’s disillusioned characters and places them into a surreal world where reality warps under the weight of cosmic horrors. The result is a haunting experience that blends Hemingway’s minimalist prose with Lovecraft’s psychological terror. About the Book: The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu Kai mirrors Hemingway’s characters—particularly Jack and Brett—perfectly but pushes them into a nightmarish reality where time, logic, and emotion break down. The sparse, direct style evokes deep emotions with minimal words, though the repetition typical of Hemingway's dialogue works here to amplify the tension. It’s a masterful use of the author’s signature approach to convey mental and emotional unraveling. The horror in this novel isn’t cheap; it’s existential, slow-burning, and pervasive. Figures like Cthulhu an...

Interview with Author of Three Moon Station

Although author Toni V. Sweeney originally had a very large family (her great-great-great-grandfather had 36 children), recently it has been decimated to just herself, her son and grandchildren, and one cousin living in the Great White North. They are Alsatian in origin, Middle Georgian by region. Anyone wanting to know more about her family should read her short story "Second Interview with a Vampire." It sums us up pretty well. Toni Sweeney's website: www.tonivsweeney.com myspace site: www.myspace.com/tvsweeney She can also be found on Facebook and book trailers of some of her books on YouTube.

You know what I mean? The time when you realized that you crossed the line from 'want to be a writer' to 'I am a writer'. It was in the last century, around ...

Classic horror at its finest

I typically avoid reviewing horror novels that focus on slasher themes with high body counts and graphic violence, or those that rely heavily on paranormal elements with gratuitous brutality. However, I have a keen appreciation for character-driven horror that blends psychological depth with iconic supernatural entities to evoke fear, suspense, and introspection on human nature. Gregory Alexander Sharp's writing style in Kill and Cure: Il Lupo 2 achieves this delicate balance flawlessly. About the book At its core, the story revolves around Charlie Mortimer, a striking young man transformed into a lycanthrope. Shedding his former anxieties and health issues in human form, he emerges robust and self-assured. While his friends provide a safe haven to prevent him from harming others during the full moon, his lingering fear of harming others persists. Together with a small circle of allies, they embark on a quest for a cure. Notable among them are Nicholas Frobisher, a grieving co...
