A Wonderful Reprieve from the Typical Vampire Story

I remember when I first got this book that there was something regarding vampires in it. Some time passed before I actually sat down to read this story. When I did read, I kept thinking to myself, wasn't there supposed to be vampires in this tale? I read the first 60% of this book without finding a trace of any vampires, although Author Bruce Sarte may have cleverly hidden them from me to where I should have noticed them, but didn't.

If there is any excuse at all as to why I missed those clues, it is because Sands of Time doesn't start out like a lot of the vampire stories I've come across as of late. In fact, the fact that roughly the first half of the book didn't seem to have anything paranormal about it came across as a wonderful reprieve for me. Here I found myself immersed in what felt like a mystery story, right up to that 61% mark. I enjoyed reading about the main character, Sam Shepard. At times, Sam seemed like one of the most human characters I've followed through any story. He isn't ashamed of his flaws, but he has definite redemption value here. And the author has certainly put a unique spin on the vampire trope.

If you're looking for a vampire read that instantly brings the bloodsuckers to the forefront of the story, you may find yourself wanting in the first half of this book. Author Sarte builds the story and mystery in layers, taking the time to make this reader care about the protagonist. And I do. I hope there are more Sam Shepard stories out there, because I feel there is so much story to be told here.

A very good story with a really interesting twist to it that ...

A very good story with a really interesting twist to it that I totally didn't expect. However, the lack of a five star rating is because there was not enough struggle. He put aside the alcohol too easily and accepted his new roll also too easily; not enough disbelief there. Really cool though.

Members Reviews:

Good story that ended to quickly!

I enjoyed this story. It had a lot of interaction between the characters and it made it interesting. Robbie Snow is a unique character with a mission to complete. Thanks to Mr. Johnny Divine and his agreement, Robbie can't fail, he just can't. He doesn't want to think about the consequences if he does.

Tension is high as family members squabble over what they expect from the deceased's estate but Robbie tries to keep them focused on doing the right things, proper behavior and eating the special pie.

This is a good story but I felt it just ended rather abruptly. The book could have been a few chapters longer to show us the fate of Robbie and the next wake he has to attend. So much time is invested in getting to know Robbie Snow's character and understand the pressures he is under that I would have liked to know how Robbie's fate turned out. This story is written in the style of a Stephen King short story and Scott Nicholson has done a good job of presenting a classic tale. I am waiting for the release of the second half and seeing the fate of Robbie Snow!

A great short read

A very short read. Scott Nicholson is known for his horror books. I don't think this one quite falls into tbis category as it was not a scared beyond words type book for me.

Without spoiling it the book is about Roby Snow who goes around to families to make sure the are eating the death pie baked for them after a family member has passed. This stor centers around jacob Ridgehorn who has recenter passed away. Roby is doing what he can to make sure his soul goes forward.

This book has a lot of Southern tradition in it. Superstitionas well. Interesting to read traditons that are suppose to be done when someone died. Makes a person think about what happens.

I would say a horror book but not like a rapid heartbeat scary horror.

Pie anyone...

Scott Nicholson never really did it for me back when I used to love and almost exclusively read horror. Now I don't so much, but I had an hour to pass and this was free and around, so why not. It seems like my opinion of Nicholson's work remains the same. Just not my thing. He can write decently enough, but there is a something of a blandness to his storytelling and the Appalachian yokel tales just really hold no interest for me. This novella does have an original idea at heart, it's readable, it's just so...maybe it's the setting. Maybe. Nicholson seems to have a steady fan base, all of whom would probably appreciate this one. At the very least you might rethink pie for desert. Possibly.

Weird

A story that seems like you started at chapter 3 instead of the beginning. You find yourself wondering if you missed something.

A gem of a novella about the rural traditions surrounding death

This was one of those .99 cent impulse purchases that really turned out of to be a bargain.

Title: Phases

Author: Archer Garrett

Narrator: Guy Veryzer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-21-13

Publisher: Archer Garrett

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

The beginning of another long winter after the Civil War has begun in New Orleans, but this time it's different. Unexplained, abhorrent deaths - ravaged bodies found in the French Quarter - are becoming far too common, even for the Crescent City.

Soon, a group of mysterious soldiers descend upon the city to help end the savage acts, before the precarious peace of the Postbellum South dies by the light of the moon.

Members Reviews:

Alphecca Review: Scary Historical Horror

Phases, by Archer Garrett. This novelette concerns a New Orleans being ravished (not in a good way) by two 'werewolves' shortly after Reconstruction. General Sheridan has summoned help to stop the mysterious slaughter of residents in the Crescent City.

There is plenty of gruesome horror and action to go around. In fact, this novelette could easily be expanded to novel length without diluting its terror factor. I guess (I'm not an expert, or even a big fan of the genre) this could be classified as historical horror.

I liked it!

Publisher's Summary:

Tom Jackson follows the call of a loon to find a small boy alone on an island in the middle of a northern Minnesota lake. They need to figure out who the kid is, why he was left on the island, but the real issue seems to be that a loon led him to the boy. Tom's father-in-law, a full-blood Native American mystic, hints that the loon might be the spirit of his dead wife.

Loon Child, Heart-warming Story of Family

Midwesterners will identify with the serenity of summers at the cabin on the lake with family, friends and neighbors. For many it's a place to fill your table daily with freshly caught fish or for outdoor activities like boating, water skiing, swimming or just dangling your feet in the lake while sitting on the dock.

For others the cabin on the lake is a place of quietude, reflection, of introspection and of communing with nature. The cabin on the lake can also be a spiritual place, especially in the early morning before sunrise when the fog rides across the surface of the lake or in the evening after sunset while you can still see the faint silhouette of a fisherman in a boat casting a line into the water. To hear one of the different calls of the loon at one of those times makes the experience very spiritual.

Loon Child begins in such a time and place at a lake cabin in Hayward, Wisconsin. The tremolo call of the loon in the evening opens the story; while a hoot call closes the tale. The loon calls are subtle metaphors, but I loved how they're used in the story. Too bad many readers unfamiliar with the common loon may miss that.

Loon Child for me is a story of la familia because the family is heart. You can no more deny family or heritage than the moon can deny the light of the sun. In a world often seen with too much me-ism, Loon Child gets the reader to see the many nurturing, endearing and healing powers that emanate from the human heart. It manifests itself in the form of love shared with your family, your friends and your extended family.

Family love envelops Samuel, whose biblical name means endearment and child rearing. He struggles with the loss of his only child Katherine and how to reconcile his relationship with his son-in-law Tom Jackson, who himself struggles to overcome the loss of Katherine, his wife, and his son Jim, who was killed in action while serving his country. Add a five-year-old boy abandoned on a lake island during the darkness of the night without proper clothing, food or shelter; then add the frantic search for his mother, who dies before she can explain things; now wait for the climax.

Loon Child is a heart-warming tale told by a new author, who in telling the story also shows us that it's okay for men to show their gentle side and nurturing hearts.

Who wouldn't love this story?

A story filled with sadness and then joy, filled with loneliness and then family, filled with loss and then gain. Set in familiar surroundings that I love it was easy to get pulled in to the tale and fly through to the end. Thoroughly enjoyed this!

Really Good Read

Loved this book, I would like to hear what comes next with the family. I want a part two please.

Excellent Read

I just finished the book. I enjoyed it and felt a wide range of emotions while reading it. I have even recommended it to a few people.

Loved it!

It was a very good story, and easy to read and follow along with! I would recommend this book to friends.

Title: In the Forests of the Night

Author: Drac Von Stoller

Narrator: Michael A. Adashefski

Format: Unabridged

Length: 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-17-13

Publisher: Drac Von Stoller

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Deep in the forest, stands a mountain that has claimed the lives of many daring mountain climbers, known as Death Mountain, which is one of the tallest mountains in the world, at an approximate height of 32,000 feet. The reason that so many climbers have lost their lives is because of health issues and extreme cold temperatures, as the climbers make their way through the jagged edges of the mountain. You can always count on an avalanche to be waiting for the next brave souls to risk their lives climbing to the top of Death Mountain. Not only is the mountain covered with mounds of snow, there is no hint of sunlight to light the climbers way, as they climb the treacherous journey to the peak of the mountain. Of course, there is always some hot shot climbers that think they are the ones who will be the first to stand at the top of Death Mountain and yell out "We made it!", and congratulate the rest of the brave climbers for such a heroic feat.

Here's where the story begins: Jimmy Spencer and his friends Karen, Jackie and Tom were all avid mountain climbers and were always up for a challenge. They all dreamed of being heroes in their town. There wasn't much excitement in their town, so if Jimmy and his friends could climb the highest mountain and survive to tell about it, they would all be heroes. Jimmy knew the only way that would happen, would be if they could climb to the top of Death Mountain. The closest any one came to climbing that mountain was half way because of avalanches and extreme cold temperatures. It was too dangerous for helicopters or planes to fly above Death Mountain to search for lost climbers so any search had to be done on foot. Jimmy and his mountain climbing buddies were used to climbing in extreme temperatures, so they all thought if anybody could tackle such a feat, they were the team of climbers to do it.

Title: Kill Me Dead or I'll Be Back!

Author: Drac Von Stoller

Narrator: Michael A. Adashefski

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-17-13

Publisher: Drac Von Stoller

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

We've all heard this line before: "You better kill me dead, if you don't, I'll be back."

That's exactly what Tim said to these men that were terrorizing the town he was raised in. These three brothers Dave, Tom and Jack were the most hated in the town of Hattiesfield. Somehow these brothers didn't have anything better to do like have a job. They were always drinking heavily and getting into fights with the men in town because they would flirt with their women and carry it just a little too far.

One day when Tim was driving home a car pulled up right beside him and one of the men rolled down his passenger side window and said "Hey Tim do you want a race?"

Tim replied "Not interested."

"Are you chicken;" asked Jack, one of the passengers in Tom's car.

"No! Why don't you guys leave me alone!"; exclaimed Tim. The men started laughing and calling Tim chicken. Tom decided to play chicken with Tim so he slowed the car down, and got behind Tim's car, and tapped his bumper several times. Tim started driving faster, but Tom wasn't about to let up on the chase. Tim finally lost control of his vehicle and his car went off into the ditch and caught on fire. Tom pulled his car over and all three men got out of the car and pulled Tim from his burning car.

Tim said "Thanks! I was almost a dead man."

Jack said "Did you really think we pulled you out of your burning car to save your life. We only pulled you out because we're going to whoop your ass!?

Tim replied "Why?"

Dave chimed in as he took a swig of beer and said "We like terrorizing this town." Then Dave started kicking Tim in his side. Tim moaned and said "You better kill me dead or I'll be back!"

Dave, Tom and Jack just laughed as they popped the tops of their beer cans and beat him severely. Before Tim passed out and finally took his last breath he said "I'll be back, mark my words."
