A brief slowing down of things on the blog...

Hey guys.

Ill start by saying I continue to be incredibly grateful for all the love and support this blog has earned over the past    less-than-year. Readers, writers, publishers and publicists have all acknowledged the blog in a myriad of ways to the point where I feel I've earned my own little corner of the horror fiction universe. 

It's incredibly flattering.

But life often gets in the way of this amazing hobby of mine.

I've mentioned before I work three jobs. I'm also in a weirdo heavy punk band called Anxious Wave (which if heavy music is your thing, you can and should check out here). I'm a newlywed, so I'm also trying to be a good husband and stepfather.

That's the average week. Doing that stuff in conjunction with the blog. I prefer being busy, so it's far from a complaint. It's merely a note that I'm a busy person giving my 110% to all the things.

Regardless, A few recent changes have occurred however where I am going to be putting this thing on a...low boil for a bit. Not to the point where I am completely stopping. Just slowing it down for a few.

The biggest of these reasons is the following= I'm super happy to say that my wife and I have just bought our first home together!

I anticipate the "slowdown" only being a few weeks, as all my books, besides the one I am currently reading whenever I get a second, are packed away.

However, the blog will remain active! I have made quite a few friends in the Horror fiction community and a few have committed to some guest reviews in the interim!

In regards to any of the books I have been sent for review, they are packed so that I will get back to them first. If you're anticipating sending me a book for review...just reach out to confirm the address I am actually at.

I think that about covers it. I continue to be so grateful for all the people reading and the thousands of views the blog has earned...the people who trust my opinion and keep an eye on the blog.

I'll be back to full speed in no time!

Thanks,
Brandon.

Contest! Halloween Book Giveaway!

Image
It's a no-brainer. Halloween is like my Christmas. And I imagine if you're reading this, you feel similarly. As such, I'm pretty stoked to announce a fantastic book giveaway! Some of the best new Horror writers working today will be contributing signed co pies of their latest works, e-books, and I will be giving away some old school "classics" to give ONE LUCKY WINNER a massive pile of scares, gore and grue to read into the night. We are talking about some of my favorite reads of 2017 here. This isn't a contest to be missed. Books/Authors include (all of these are signed!!!!): Glenn Rolfe 's Blood and Rain. This one reads like a blast from the hey day of horror novel past. Werewolves, lots of blood and well...rain...from one of the nicest dudes writing in the biz. Originally published by Samhain, Rolfe has recently re-published the book himself and it's a killer. From the author of The Haunted Halls, Chasing Ghosts and Becoming comes a gory, fun

A guest review! Ancient Horror History Unearthed: Teddy by John Gault REVIEWED!

Image
Per my last post, I recently moved and as a by-product, most of my collection, new and old are boxed up and awaiting a new bookshelf-home. As much as it bums me out, we have to get the necessities unpacked first, as well as little things, like painting, before the big old book collection comes out. Sure, reading rules, but being able to eat and shower rule just a little bit more. Kinda. I've attempted to start reading again, but really, there's still so much to do that my next review might be a little ways off. As such, I reached out to my friends in the Books of Horror group on Facebook to help me keep the content coming on the blog. Sure enough, I had an overwhelming response for guest reviews. I chose this one first, because it's a peculiar book, a Canadian-only release (I believe?), that spawned a lovable-but-atrocious 1981 clusterfuck of a movie, The Pit. Also, because Chris Mayek, the gentleman and fellow-horror reader, is a trusted source for me. He's been

An Interview with R. Patrick Gates, Author of Grimm Memorials

Image
I've been singing the praise of R. Patrick Gates since I first read him, just last year. He's quickly become an author I feel compelled to read all of the work of, and have since bought up every title I can get my hand on. I reached out to him to find a bit more about the background of his career and some of backstory on these wonderful books. If you haven't checked out Grimm Memorials or Fear or R. Patrick Gates in general...you're missing out.  Check out what Gates' had to say about his career, his work and his future! Undivine Interventions: Hello and thanks for doing this! I am a huge fan of your work, so this is an extra special interview for me. To any readers out there who may not know you, please share who you are and what type of work you publish/are most well known for? R. Patrick Gates: I publish under the name R. Patrick Gates, and have been a published author since 1989 when my first novel, FEAR, was published by New American L
