Publisher's Summary:

As tattoo artist Star begins to ink her first client on a spring Sunday morning, something goes horribly wrong with the world...

Belfast's hung-over lapse into a deeper sleep than normal, their sudden deaths causing an unholy mess of crashing cars, smouldering televisions and falling aircraft. In the chaotic aftermath a group of post-apocalyptic survivors search for purpose in a devastated city. Ageing DJ Sean Magee and shifty-eyed Barry Rogan find drunken solace in a hotel bar. Ex-IRA operative Mairead Burns and RIR soldier Roy Beggs form an uneasy alliance to rebuild community life. Elsewhere, a mysterious Preacher Man lures shivering survivors out of the shadows with a promise of redemption.

Choked by the smell of death, Ireland's remaining few begin the journey toward a new life, fear and desperation giving rise to new tensions and dark old habits. But a new threat creeps slowly out of life's wreckage...

Brief review

An apocalyptic tale. Full of gore zombies and the odd sexual reference. I would like to say I enjoyed it, but really, I could have spent my time more wisely. Not great

gripping suspense and terror

loved every second

the writing style is superb kept me on edge everysecond

loved the flu/fever story and this is way up on my favourite list

Not your average zombie book

Would you listen to Drop Dead Gorgeous again? Why?

Very engaging characters, very good narration, different twist on the style of book

What did you like best about this story?

totally different approach to the zombie story, based in northern Ireland gave it a totally different edge

What does Melanie MacHugh bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book?

A break from the American/English narrators, totally refreshing and suited the book perfectly

Any additional comments?

If you are looking for a refreshingly different take on the genre with good narration and involving characters, give this a go. The follow up is knock out and brutal, excellent.

Title: Castle Drac Von Stoller

Author: Drac Von Stoller

Narrator: Ted Brooks

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-06-12

Publisher: Drac Von Stoller

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Off in the distance stood a dark desolate castle in northwestern Ireland, full of mystery and the macabre. It was known as Castle Drac Von Stoller. Anyone that dared to talk ill of the castle would later come up missing without a trace. Costume parties were held at the castle where ballroom dancing would take place.

Legend has it that Count Drac Von Stoller, who the castle was named after, impaled the great wizard Estavan. Just as the Count was about to sink his teeth into the wizard's neck, the wizard pulled his magic wand out of his cloak and a beam of light shot through the wand into the mirror standing in the corner. As Estavan was gasping his last breath on the impaling stake he said, "Count, for what you've done to me, I curse you into the mirror where you will remain for all eternity unless you can find 13 virgin maidens to impale and suck every drop of their precious blood from their bodies. If you fail, the mirror will be your final resting place. You only have one chance to lift the curse."

Title: The Seance

Author: Drac Von Stoller

Narrator: Ted Brooks

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-02-12

Publisher: Drac Von Stoller

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Just beyond the hills of Eastondale stood an old dilapidated mansion that was built in the 1860's. Legend has it that a railroad ran near the old mansion and there was a gang of outlaws that had held up the train and stolen $250,000 worth of gold and hid it in the mansion. But before any of the outlaws had a chance to tell where the gold was hidden they were ambushed inside the mansion by U.S. Marshals and only two of the brothers of one of the gangs survived. They would not tell where they hid the gold so both brothers were hanged and to this day no one knows where the gold was hidden.

Then one day Johnny West and two of his closest friends decided they were going to find the gold that the outlaws hid in the dilapidated mansion even if it took them all night to find the gold. Johnny's idea to hold a seance in the mansion, to summon up one of the outlaws, would take a deadly turn with no turning back.

Members Reviews:

Great

Love the series, loved the book, really gets you involved into it. You need to read the first one though to understand whats going on.

Someday you will eat like I eat.

Wayne Simmons, Doll Parts (Snowbooks, 2012)

Drop Dead Gorgeous remains, to date, my favorite Wayne Simmons novel, a fun, original take on the zombie that made honorable mention on my Best Reads of the Year list in 2010 and finished up pretty much crying out for a sequel. Well, that sequel is here, it's called Doll Parts, and damned if it isn't almost as good as the first one. It's a little more on the traditional-zombie-novel side of things than Drop Dead Gorgeous was--Simmons wasn't trying to push any envelopes here the way he was in the first book--but he turns about and shows us that he is equally capable of writing the kind of fast-paced survival thriller structure that forms most zombie novels, and doing it just as well.

Plot: when we last left what remained of our ragtag band of survivors in Drop Dead Gorgeous, they were stuck in a town square surrounded by the ravenous--and totally freakin' hot--undead. As is often the case with cliffhangers along these lines, the first question is how they're going to get out of this situation. (One of the reasons I am most looking forward to 28 Months Later..., assuming we ever get it, is because Danny Boyle gave his survivors a pretty impossible taks in that regard at the end of Weeks.) Suffice to say they do; if they didn't, this would be a short novel indeed. They get wind of another band of survivors who have set up a well-defended position at the city's airport, on the outskirts of town, and head there, finding other bands of survivors and battling the undead along the way. But, as you are well aware if you've consumed any half-dozen random pieces of zombie media, the undead are far from the only predators roaming any given post-apocalyptic world...

If you liked DDG for its realistic, complex characters who reacted in ways that made sense to situations that didn't, then you can expect more of the same here, and that is a welcome thing indeed in a genre rife with characters who exist solely to advance plots and make incredibly stupid decisions time after time. And if you enjoy well-written genre survival-horror/survival-thriller novels, you will find a great deal here to love. In fact, I'm trying to come up with someone who likes zombie fiction who would not like this book (it could probably work as a stand-alone, but of course I'm going to tell you to read Drop Dead Gorgeous first because it's lovely), and I'm coming up empty. You like zombies? You need this. ****

An absolute roller-coaster of brutal action-horror

After reading Drop Dead Gorgeous by Wayne Simmons, I was keen to return to the bleak post-apocalyptic Belfast that the author had created and left wide-open for a return at the end of DDG in which, .

Members Reviews:

Whoa!

This is the first story I have read from Mr. Knight. What a hell of a fine story. From the very first page to the last. Just the right size to finish in a single setting. One of those kind of reads that I could not put down. Even with my eyes blurry and red from lack of sleep. Well worth it. I am looking forward to reading his other works.This is what the Kindle was made for.

A very good short horror story

Shane Ryan Staley has always shown a deft hand at selecting the very best in horror in all of his endeavors. Known best for Delirium Books and DarkFuse, Staley was also a driving force in the independent press push in the growing popularity of horror ebooks through Darkside Digital. I took a step back a couple years to read one of these releases when I called up "Midnight Blues" by Brian Knight on my reader and experienced this terrifying short story one more time.

Jerry Conway had only one question about the rest of his life and that was whether he would die from cancer or old age. It was a slow but steady race between the two as exemplified by his slowly deteriorating health. Then the car came back into his life along with the sadness and regret of that night many years ago when the woman he loved was raped on this very car. While her attackers rotted in prison, she gave into despair and eventually suicide. Now the men who destroyed his life are out of prison and Midnight Blues is back in his life with a new mission: revenge.

"Midnight Blues" is a very good short story about loss and revenge. Knight is an accomplished author who knows how to craft a solid story and this skill is on full display in this short story. The reader feels torn between sympathy for Jerry and horror at what is happening in the story. I would challenge anyone, however, to classify the horror being wrought in the present as greater than that of the past that haunts Jerry and his car. This presents an interesting dilemma in the story as the reader must try to balance condemnation with forgiveness and wonder what would happen if he was put in the same situation. Darkside Digital has since given way to DarkFuse but this story is a testament to the quality fiction that any fan of the genre will find in anything that Staley has a hand in publishing. A horror aficionado will be hard pressed to find a better quick scare than "Midnight Blues."

Title: Vampinstein

Author: Drac Von Stoller

Narrator: Michael Ward

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-26-12

Publisher: Drac Von Stoller

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

It all began around the 15th century when a man by the name of Henry Von Schmidt's obsession for grave robbing got out of control. Henry stumbled onto a grave with a pentagram etched into the tombstone and noticed writing on the tombstone. It read: "Whosoever desecrates Richard Valence III's final resting place will surely die!"

Henry laughed it off, "Hogwash! Some children probably wrote those words and made up a story so the townspeople would think the cemetery was haunted. They probably thought it would give them some kind of entertainment since there wasn't much excitement in this little town called 'Vampinstein.'"

Legend has it that the town's name was changed to Vampinstein after an experiment by a mad doctor called Dr. Lufenstein went very wrong.

Title: Wood Chipper

Author: Drac Von Stoller

Narrator: Ted Brooks

Format: Unabridged

Length: 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-26-12

Publisher: Drac Von Stoller

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Damien grew up on a farm with beautiful green pastures and lots of cattle. Even though Damien's life was the envy of his friends, Damien was dying inside because of the abuse from his father. Damien's father made him work all day in the blazing hot sun loading branches into the wood chipper. Damien was getting sick and tired of not getting anything to eat or drink all day. When Damien would ask his father if he could take a break, as tears flowed down his cheeks, Damien's father would call him names like sissy boy or tell him, "you're pathetic," and "I don't know why you were born."

Damien's love for his father quickly grew into hatred. Whenever Damien would lay his weak body down for the night, he would dream of putting his father into the wood chipper, but Damien's anger hadn't quite reached that point yet of going through with his dream, but it sure was in the back of his mind.

Title: Fallen

Author: Tim Lebbon

Narrator: Paul Panting

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-23-12

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

In the unexplored regions of Noreela there are rumours of the Great Divide, a massive cliff which demarcates the end of the known world and something else, something unknown. Ramus and Nomi obtain a parchment from a voyager who claims to have visited the region and it indicates that there are other, even greater, mysteries to be explored. They set off on the ultimate challenge and potentially lethal expedition.

Tim Lebbon has created a fantastic adventure novel reminiscent of the classics, think "Journey To The Centre Of The Earth" or "The Lost World" but in a unique and imaginative fantasy setting. The main characters are rich and detailed but many retain an aura of mystery which is never fully explained allowing for interesting tension points to develop. They are motivated by that inexplicable need to explore, at any cost.

Members Reviews:

Very disappointing

What would have made The Everlasting better?

Having recently read The Silence and having been left wanting more, I was keen to pick this one up. Unfortunatley I found it totally disappointing, shallow and unconvincing. Continually the questions asked throughout the book are met with trite evasive responses.... either answer the question posed or stop repeating this scenario time and time again! It really got annoying for me.

Has The Everlasting put you off other books in this genre?

Not in this genre but I am questioning whether I will pick up another Tim Lebbon book if he is so hit and miss as far as quality is concerned... a little harsh based on two books so I'll preserve with a few others before deciding on that course of action.

How could the performance have been better?

For me there was a lack of feeling and character distinction in the performance by the narrator.

You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Sorry, not really.

Any additional comments?

Ideal as a children's book but perhaps not the best subject matter for a youngster.
