Smashwords book reviews by M.E. Brines

  • Making Room on March 03, 2012

    As sick and twisted as only good horror should be. I loved the ending. An excellent story.
  • Cavanaugh's Cure on March 05, 2012

    This is a very interesting short story that would have made a great seed for a novel.
