- Pumpkin Jack Skull and Other Tales of Terror
on May 07, 2010
Scary, chilling, horrifying.... one of the scariest books I've read in a long time. He saved the best for last - a "Hostel"-like-creepy-as-hell story that freaked the living **** out of me; READ IT!!
- Are These Eyeballs
on March 28, 2011
A short collection of just a couple of stories, this book had me thinking of how it'd be a good candidate for a short film, especially the latter of the stories; The Cubicle. The first story wasn't as enjoyable as the second, but it sure is spine-chilling, making you wonder what the hell would've happened after it ended. And that's where the author's huge role comes in: WRITE MORE STORIES!!!
- Horror Shorts

An excellent collection of gripping horror shorts; just as the title promises.
- Fearworld (A horror short story)
on May 27, 2011
A post-apocalyptic short about a town that's invaded with photophobic demons. And when I say short, it's short. Annoyingly short. Would've given it higher if it was a Stephen King-like novel chronicling different denizen's traumatic experiences etc. I'd love to see that. Maybe a sequel? Amazing short.
- Fast Forward
on Aug. 21, 2011
An interesting short story about what happens when an average Joe discovers he has a TV set that sets itself to tune into the future. A good read, with some focus on the pros and cons of knowing too much about the future, with a chilling end to it all.
- Golem
on Aug. 28, 2011
A short story that doesn't really give much of a backstory, and an attempt (Quan's story) wasn't very satisfactory. It's also got a mildly confusing ending.

Recommended for a quick and interesting read.
- When I Woke Up I Knew I was Dead: A Short Story
on Sep. 02, 2011
I was confused from start to finish on the main plot of the story. There was no actual explanation (not even briefly) on why those who were dead thought they were so. And what's up with all the profanity and unnecessary usage of sexual innuendo? I don't mind it, but it's a story of kids, and I don't see why some of that is used.

A few grammar (or publishing) mistakes, but other than that this short is OK. Very demented story.
- Final Headline
on Nov. 24, 2011
Interesting short.
- Cupid's Maze
on Dec. 07, 2011
Definitely agree with this being a 'Stephen King'-esque take on corn mazes. Good dialogue, description etc. The next horror/thriller bestselling author.

I love how the writer doesn't believe in happy endings (not yet, at least), and how our protagonist goes from one tribulation to the next in this zopocalypse short. A bit sad to see the sequel isn't free, but hey, we're all looking to make a living.
