When Graveyards Yawn - The Apocalypse Trilogy: Book One
on June 27, 2013
It was a long time since I read something that felt this fresh and different wihout feeling forced. An intriguing not-too-to-distant future holds no bars on life or death and the private investigator Tommy Wildclown works hard for his clients' fees and his own survival. Well written with a very good flow and practically no typos, this holds a good commercial quality and I would be surprised if it will not be filmed.

Fifty Shades of Brown
on Aug. 08, 2013
A Quick read based on a clever setup and some laughs along the way to the twist at the end. Not so sure about the feminist perspective.

Might Have Been
on Aug. 08, 2013
(no rating)
Enjoyable and well written. Creative and with a strong narrative voice. The sex is not the fully explored, but enjoyable.
-
The Erotic Adventures of Candide
on Aug. 08, 2013
An excellent read. Very well written with few or no typos and a true-to-original style of language. Clever twisting with useful anachronisms cleverly put into the story to teach the reader morals. Looking forward to reading more from Martina Donna Ramone.

Sven the Zombie Slayer (Book 1)
on Aug. 08, 2013
One of the best around. Believabale with a good flow in the story, interesting characters. It has open, as well as less obvious, but always tongue-in-cheek references to genre literature and films which heightens the reading experience. No typos and several cliff hangers made it hard to put the book down. Read now.

Zombie Jokes
on Aug. 08, 2013
Some old, some new, and some original truly applicable to zombies only. A quick read.
-
Valley of Death, Zombie Trailer Park
on Dec. 14, 2013
fast paced and well written with some great original characters set in the story.
-
The Peripheral Cocksucker
on Dec. 14, 2013
clever story, fun and anjoyable and yet some proper sex. Yes, this is good and written by an author who obviouusly took some time in thinking about the plot and have to develop the story and its characters. Well worth a read, but all too short...
-
Zombie Spring
on Dec. 14, 2013
a different approach to the zombie genre - taking a focus on the more military tactic and how to actually try to rid the world of the pestilence once the apocalypse is a fact. Interesting read.
-
Midge Fly and the End of The World
on Dec. 14, 2013
well written in the spirit of the hitchhiker's guide...series, however a bit too lecxturing at times indicates that it is aimed at a younger audience which tends to get a bit tiresome to me being older. On the other hand - the story is interesting enough to have kept me finish it, so cudos to finding a balance by adding a cheeck-in-tongue kind of humour and intersting plot.

The Awakened Beauty or Penelope’s Odyssey
on May 27, 2014
written with an ironic wink to today's society this short play presents an alternative version to Sleeping beauty. Worth a read.
-
The Scorpion Series book 1: The Scorpion
on May 27, 2014
Following th heroine Shi on her journey to and in New Orleans is unfortunately not as exciting as it sounds. Too slow story development for my taste, and a bit too manu typos to be enjoyable reading. Did not finish.
-
Might Have Been
on May 27, 2014
A clever approach to getting a binding story around different sexual fantasies. Well worth a read, high quality in its editing and handling of language.
-
The Garden Wall
on May 27, 2014
Quite a different story written in a highly enjoyable fashion. Hard to explain - just enjoy the read.
-
Zombie Nights
on May 27, 2014
Not bad. The title and description is accurately portrayng what to expect. Inner dialogue and the mystery of who and why the main character was murdered unravels as you read. The zombie aspect is not strong though, could just as well have been "undead" in general.
-
Bovicide, Zombie Diaries, and the Legend of the Brothers Brown
on Sep. 20, 2014
A unique reading experience - well written , edited and imagined. Much recommended.
-
The Confessions of a Callboy in the Future
on Sep. 20, 2014
Calling this erotic literature is a stretch. This is more like reading a documentary from a poor country today (it is set in the Philippines in a post-nuclear holocaust future).
-
Zombie Fever 1: Origins
on Sep. 20, 2014
A story told with good speed and a good plot with a combination of evil corporations, greed and zombies. Well worth a read, even if it is a main stream zombie telling.
-
Zombie Zora
on Sep. 20, 2014
Well written, road movie style from a military unit's perspective. Could be filmed tomorrow and enjoy a lot of viewers.
-
Silk Ties
on Sep. 20, 2014
A surprisingly different story than first anticipated. A disturbing read (in a good way) with a seriously twisted imagination of the author. Think H.P. Lovecraft in the 21st century.
-
Zombie Girl
on Sep. 20, 2014
Nice approach by the author with a different angle on the US post apocalypse small town zombie infested survival theme. What happens when you fall in love with an infected? Less improbable theme than it sounds like. Worth a read.
-
LZR-1143: Perspectives (Zombie Short Stories)
on Sep. 20, 2014
Well written, tight story line and hard to put down. The reader gets to follow an airline pilot as the zombie outbreak happens. Well worth a read.
-
Living Death: Deliverance (Horror, Zombie Apocalypse, Medical Fiction)
on Sep. 20, 2014
Fast paced, quick read with an open ending asking the readers for how to continue. Clever and convincing. Well worth a read.
-
The Price of Love
on Sep. 20, 2014
Not engaging. Gave up before coming to the end. Sorry, not my cup of tea.
-
L'il Gal Al and the Zombies of Amarillo
on Sep. 20, 2014
Excellent blend of classic spaghetti western and zombie horror. Very much cheek in tongue and flirts with genre cliches. A quick, enjoyable read.
-
The Zombie Chronicles: Volume One
on Sep. 20, 2014
very special theme, where the hero of our story falls in love with a female zombie by the laundromat. Sounds odd, but is surprisingly believable. Well worth a read.
-
Zombies! Episode 1: Shawn of the Dead
on Sep. 20, 2014
Finally a main character that immediatley recognizes an early zombie for what it is, but still fails to stop the outbreak unless the police who apprehends him also accepts the truth.
-
Inappropriate Behaviour and Other Stories
on Sep. 20, 2014
Too soft core for me, not bad but not engaging either. Did not finish.
-
The Battle for the Known Unknown
on Sep. 27, 2014
This was by far my most enjoyable read so far this year - all categories. It is rare to find an author that is able to write stories that combine an interesting plot with relevant discussions on scientific discoveries, religion/philosophy, as well as keeping a nerve in the story with regards to both suspense and adult content. High quality narrative and flow. Near pefect editiing, When I put it down I immediately looked for parts 2 and 3. This should be a must read for anyone browsing this category.

Bar Girl
on Nov. 26, 2017
A very interesting read with a no-nonsense approach to how sex is valued as a commodity in Angelse City. Without judging the reader, sex is depicted well and the character development is not bad at all. A read well worth!
-
Not Exactly Dead
on Nov. 26, 2017
well written, cheek-in-tounge humour.
-
Demonic Double Cross
on Nov. 26, 2017
Simply brilliant! great characters, twisted plot and a funny balance between the sceptic con artist and the (un)real world of demons!
-
The Mortal Coil Shuffle
on Nov. 26, 2017
really, really funny and a great tribute to the american superstitious scene. It is a must read and highly recommended combination of satire and horror.
-
Interlude
on Nov. 26, 2017
meh. not engaging enough and pretty slow in story development. Would have preferred a little less conversation and more action.
-
Concrete Underground
on Nov. 26, 2017
Really enjoyed the story. Twisted story, pushing the boundaries and aksing radical questions about "elite behaviors". Fast paced and action filled. Well worth a read!
-
Inbetween
on Nov. 26, 2017
a special story that is quite different from most other reads. A good read, but not the gerates (a bit too confused/unclear storyline and character interactions at times)
-
The Porridge King
on July 22, 2019
Excellent read with a seriously unique quirkiness. Refreshing!
-
On The 7th Day
on July 22, 2019
Simply brilliant - suspense and giggles until the very last page.
-
Twice Dead (The Zombie Crisis--Book 1)
on July 22, 2019
A good start of a book series with action, focus and suspense.
-
Zombie's day !
on July 22, 2019
meh, not my cup of tea despite the thematics.

The Witch's Birthday Brew
on July 22, 2019
straight forward and with some spice in the brew
