    A very interesting read. And fast paced too. I just couldn't put it down. It engrosses the reader just like Alex, only the reader's at the consuming end. Nice stuff.

    At least the author's got reviews. Something many of us are dying for. It's a short story but i was pretty disappointed with its organisation. Punctuation was very bad. Hopefully you'll learn from this.
  • The Peeling: Book 1 (Jeremy's Choice) on June 10, 2012
    star star star star
    A very different brand of horror not unlike a zombie but much more horrifying. The first book of this author I've read and I was wowed. If it'd been a 50,000 word novel and for sale, then yeah, it would've been 5 stars from me. Definitely. Eagerly Looking forward to more.
  • Bayou Myth on July 17, 2012
    star star star star star
    In all of my years of reading (and that's a lot of years), I've never read a book that blended myth and reality with such brilliance and originality as Bayou Myth. Bayou Myth contains everything you're looking for in a book: drawing suspense, thriller, mind-disturbing horror, deep dark occult, pacey action, domestic humor, education, appropriate touch of romance, and then some; all in the right amount. The romance part really got to me as well as the other sections of the fusion. Loesche is a cheerful giver of characteristics to the book's personas, letting the characters develop and pulling you right along. Bayou Myth is an exquisite work of art. Yes! I said ART because only a work of art can be as beautifully designed as this book. What will keep me from reading Loesche's books, I pray our paths never cross. I can happily say I'm privileged to've read Bayou Myth. Who wants to touch me?! Bayou Myth is totally deserving of my fifth star (I'm always usually stingy with it). Keep up the good work.
  • A Boy and His Zombie on Aug. 14, 2012
    star star star star
    Very imaginative. This is a R. L. Stine-esque kind of story. Lovely grammar too. Beautifully explained. And a quick, quick read. It started as a reversed role sort of way - man (in this case 'boy') terrorising zombie and he got/deserved what was coming. Like Stephen King would say "He got his medicine". Was impressed. Looking forward to more from this author. (It could've been 5 stars from me but I only give 5 to novels and novellas. But consider this work a 5er). Keep up the good work!
  • The One Night Stand on Aug. 15, 2012
    star star
    Looking through these reviews, I was all 'no it shouldn't be that bad' and I was proven wrong, but I believe I've seen worse. I'm also surprised all of these reviews haven't discouraged the author from writing. The passion is there, yes, just not the... technique. Mr Travis, what you need to do first is to get an editor, or a proofreader. I don't know how old you are but it will do you a milestone of good. You certainly might (could and will) make a good writer in the future. The best way to go is to delay publishing your stories until you're very certain the "world" will appreciate reading them. And also try writing longer pieces in the process. That would be worth the editing, since you will be paying him/her. Your work could become excellent. Keep Writing! if it's what you love. You'll get there. .

    Pretty original. Ok, a lot of original. Somehow, Jerry has told a fantastic story using the fewest words he could where each one of them pulls in your attention and pulls you right through the story. A lot of gore here, there, everywhere. It's a good short. Well done, sir.
  • Christmas Spirit on Dec. 04, 2012
    star star star star
    I was fascinated: to begin with. It's a very creative parody of the brilliant Christmas Tale by Dickens. Of course no one tells A Christmas Tale better than he does, Jerry did a mighty good job. Made me laugh, made me think, made me go over it, once and once again(haven't got the ending though). Good book. And a quick read.

  • Poetic Reflections: Keep The Heart Of A Child on March 03, 2013
    star star star star star
    Review For Poetic Reflections: Keep The Heart Of A Child Ah, what a collection, what a compendium of verses and lyrics and intelligent craziness. All of life's abstractions, wisdom, fact, fear, instructions, guidance brought together under the unique hand, and voice, of Lori R. Lopez. I enjoyed it from the start, bookmarked really important poems so I can read them as over again as I wanted. It has everything from notes on heartwarming love to bonebreaking horror! I loved poems and lyrics such as Frantic (lost love), Miracle and Imagine (mother's veneration for child), Hallowing, Grimmest and The Macabre (three very humorously horrifying poems), My friend (a birthday poem written for who I believe I've met digitally), I had a friend, Ides Of March (remember Julius Ceasar?), The Deep dark woods, The Dark deep woods, Bugs and so on. It's a brilliant collection, really, not just a must have but a must keep.
  • A World Of Words: Volume One on March 03, 2013
    star star star star star
    Review Of A World Of Words Clicking into the page of the first poem of this unique, genuine collection felt like going through the lonely wardrobe into another world, a Fantasia through the never ending story. Alright, I admit I get carried away a lot when it gets to books but this collection spoke to me through its separate voices of the existence of the wonderful world of Eath, until things fell amiss towards the end with bloody wars and unnecessary conquests. Of course when next Mr. Rafael Lopez is venturing into the fantastic land to obtain another collection from its libraries, I really wish to come along and experience this world firsthand. Here, Life is versed, explained, beautified through so many unique voices: Keckith, Yenba, Hefmok, Ax, Alindra and several others. It's a great collection. Looking forward to another unique stuff by Rafael Lopez.

    Just what I like about shorts. Great, quick reads, telling a fantastic tale with the fewest words manageable. I liked the story's premise and the main character and his characteristics, not someone you simply come across. A good piece of work.

    Okay, so I'm only just about to finish the book but I just had to leave a review based on what the book has made me feel thus far. It's magnificent, a genuinely unique zomby chiller! Just what I've been hunting for this here year. I love the two main characters and the setting of the story, class! It'll be great as a movie I do say. Well done, Mr Bullet. A good book overall. Beautiful illustrations too. Still can't believe I got it for free.

    This is a good book to begin with. It held my interest throughout the chapters and one will see that it's a work meticulously researched. It started slowly though as I had to understand the characters - a couple of them had alternate names - but as the pages progressed, action and thrill reached a fevered pitch before eventually and in time too, dropped. It was good writing, good story, worth my time and I'm looking forward to more. So you keep writing, Janus.

    As always, Lori R. Lopez gripped my interest with her technique of writing after about five paragraphs in. Maybe from now, I'll learn to keep the neighbors to themselves, not like I relate much anyway. It was a steady and interesting read. Might need to be reread before completely grasping the situation. Well done, Lori. I'll always love your work.
