Publisher's Summary:

Robert is attending San Diego Comic Con for the first time. Scripts in hand, Robert dreams of becoming a writer. With the help of his well-to-do boyfriend, Ed, Robert plans on meeting everyone and anyone who can help him break into the industry. Unfortunately for Robert, an ancient serial killer is also attending the convention with big plans - plans that include Robert....

Robert's stories focus on serial killers over the last couple hundred years, detailing some of the most disturbing murders in grisly fashion. When bodies begin popping up, slashed and tattered in alleys around the show, Robert finds himself in the middle of something far more macabre than he could have imagined.

When Robert meets his favorite writer, someone who plays in the same murderous sandbox as Robert, his suspicions pique. When a mysterious stranger in an unsettling costume begins watching Robert, his terror grows. Eventually, Robert learns that everyone wears a mask - everyone. But is this a lesson he can learn before it's too late?

Not too bad!!

In my opinion, this guy writes pretty good short stories. For a couple of bucks you get the equivalent of a thirty to forty-five minute episode similar to that of The Twilight Zone or Tales From the Crypt. As a matter of fact, I think these stories could just as well be easily adapted into a weekly television series. With that being said, I wouldn't spend a credit on one because they're very short. My recommendation would be to just purchase one every now and then (under $3 a piece). Hope this was useful.

Not As Good As I Had Hoped

An OK story as it is a little predictable. Narrator was good as usual, I think he's a good match for Mr. Ninesses's stories.

Decent Story but Not One of His Best

OK story, OK narration, OK story. Worth the couple bucks I paid, but I think there was more there to expand on; the story could have been so much more.

The chilling story of a woman haunted by music that only she can hear, sung by a choir of children that only she can see....

Critic Reviews:

"If ghost stories are your thing, you will absolutely love the latest novella, The Orphan Choir by Sophie Hannah. This book is part of a new series of special commissions by Hammer (of horror film fame). She says, 'When I was invited to write a novella for the new Hammer imprint, my first thought was, "Ooh, yes, but it must be terrifying.' Dont worry. It is." (Red magazine)

Members Reviews:

Turned out good at the end

As I read the book I wondered where it was going as the plot was very narrow and there where not many characters involved..... Quite a mundane plot .... It is in the last fifth of the book where the story lies and this will have you thinking back through the book and leaves an impression on you..... The plot does build but I felt it took a long time until I didn't want to stop reading because I needed to know what was happening but it got there in the end.

unpredictable

woman going nuts or final destination? in the end, neither ! made me cry

Very satisfying

The first person narration starts with a women tormented by the (regular) noise of neighbours partying and playing loud pop music. She then hears choir boys singing. Is this a new tactic used by her neighbour to annoy her or something else...? I liked the way that the reliability of the narrator is questioned. The slow build-up of neurosis is well presented and the ending was very satisfying. (It doesn't sag in the middle either.)

I listened to this on a long drive (I was the driver) and there was nothing in it to make me jump or affect my driving but I was engrossed.

poor

to be honest the story was poor and never really went anywhere. I would not reccomend thus book.

Well I didn't see that coming

I love Sophie Hannah's work. Her writing is beautifully crafted. The endind was a surprise!

Creepy short story

I have to be upfront in saying that I had absolutely no idea what to expect when I downloaded this short story by James Ninness after I stumbled across it in the Kindle Store. It was a spur of the moment purchase based on the interesting cover and description.

With that said, I loved this story. It was equal parts creepy and familiar to me - anyone who has lost someone important in their lives can relate to what the main character was going through in it. Great story, very touching, and incredibly eerie.

Good stuff!

Madness done right!

"Author Jamie Page has a flare for the darkness and the erotic, Drusilla's Mirror was a refreshing reminder, just how dark this author can delve. The story is a psychological thrill ride with vivid descriptions so real that reader becomes so engrossed and feels like part of the story. I loved Drusilla's Mirror!"

"To see--this powerful being--attacking and in control of the man who almost destroyed you; that was divine." Excerpt from Drusilla's Mirror.

I am a fan of Jamie Page and become a slave to postings of her writing with her alter persona Lilith Falls. Imagine my delight to know one of her short stories of HORROR is currently available on Amazon.com. "Drusilla's Mirror: A Tale of Horror" should be on the lips of every horror reader as dark, intriguing, a psycho good read.

Drusilla is reminiscing about good times with her twin sister and she gives the reader a look into their world of wicked games played on men. It is one game where she watches her sister in action using her instruments of pain with the loving artistic hand of someone about to give pleasure and then the blood falls shortly after the first cut.

This short story borders on pleasure and pain some of it is external and as the story continues the reader sees some internal pain as well. Jamie has balance in her story with some telling, showing and dispersing dialogue as appropriated by the characters. I enjoyed reading and was happy when the boundaries for the reader became blurred so much that I felt like I was in the room with Drusilla. That is the artistic gift of a talented storyteller.

The flaws were very minor. I found very few: a missing word, unnecessary wordage and something all authors miss (myself included) misspelling. The issues are so minor that most readers may not catch it because of the pacing of the story. I would however say this is a note more fitted to the editor to read more carefully and less of a negative reflection on the author who has been told it was edited.

I highly recommend everyone who enjoys a twisted tale of horror with a psychological spin, to purchase a copy of "Drusilla's Mirror: A Tale of Horror" by Jamie Page. The price is right and the story is priceless.

Drusillas Mirror reflect all good writing in horror

I will say right from get go- this author- she is a wonderful writer- I have read many things by her. She has this as well as other genres in writing. Jamie does an amazing job in her writing. I have not got through the whole book yet- I am a snail at reading- and that sucks- but I do know I need to leave a little something for the author.

First- I am enjoying the book greatly- a great ,and (yes) refreshing book- and a great intro to me to get back to reading more.

Aaron is a man of faith. As he crosses the Mojave Desert, Aaron contemplates the grace of the Lord.

And then he gets a flat tire. That's when things get... weird.

Things quickly spiral out of control, introducing Aaron to an odd cast of desert-dwelling people, odd roadside apparitions and a terrifying creature that will shake the foundations of his faith.

Lost in the sands of nowhere, with little more than his belief to guide him, Aaron must face threats both physical and spiritual. With no means of escape, Aaron is forced to face his fears when he volunteers to pray over the recently deceased member of a foreign faction. Despite warnings of a ethereal threat, Aaron stands firm in his worldview, pitting himself against an evil more ancient than he can imagine.

Is Aaron's faith enough to save him?

Great Concept, But Falls Short

The author has a knack for spinning interesting short stories. Almost all of them begin with an intriguing back story, which is effective in drawing the listener in. The thing I'm starting to notice though, is that the protagonists are always slow to figure out that something is not right. This little nuance bothers me, as I have no tolerance for the idiotic. This story is the epitome of this sentiment. With that being said, Ninness has managed to once again keep me intrigued enough to purchase another. I know this review is a bit ambiguous, but I guess you'll have to spend the $3 and listen for yourself. Then my review might make a little more sense to you. If you have a few dollars to spend and need a short 45 minute story to get you home from work in five o'clock traffic, give Ninness a go. I hope this was somewhat useful.

Another Solid Story

My third story by Mr. Ninness. Good story and I liked that the ending didn't end in a cliché. Narration is good.

Good fun read

Really lost my head over this great short story. The skilful blend of horror and pathos elements had me quickly absorbed into the books atmospheric echoes. Be fun to hear this read around the camp fire.

To each his own.

I absolutely loved this short story! 2 kids are dared to enter a haunted house and that's when the fun begins! Yeah, I know, it sounds like every other ghost story ever written, and it pretty much is...Ah, but I did love the twisted ending! Yep, I'd recommend this story and author.

A spooky ghost short-story suitable for readers of all ages.

This one is a quick read that will add a little "spook" into your evening.

I enjoyed the twist at the end. This is one that I feel would make a great campfire tale.

It is suitable for readers of all ages.

A good little ghost story

Publisher's Summary:

It was Halloween night and Jimmy was partying with a gang that he was excited about joining called the Demon Nights gang. There was only one thing that would prove he was worthy of being a part of the Demon Nights gang and Darren who was head of the gang would tell him.

"Jimmy you know it's not an easy thing joining our gang," said Darren.

"I know, but I want to be somebody and I'm not afraid of any challenge, so come on tell me what it is you want me to do?" asked Jimmy.

"Ok, but there is no backing out once I tell you and if you try to back out the only thing you'll be getting is a bullet in the back," explained Darren.

"Don't worry I'm up for anything," replied Jimmy.

"Here's what I want you to do. Follow me outside," explained Darren.

Jimmy and Darrin went outside to Darren's back yard.

"See that car over there," said Darren.

"Yes! I see it," replied Jimmy.

"Get inside and let me know what you think?" asked Darren.

Jimmy opened the driver's side door and stepped in and said "Wow! This is a real beauty," exclaimed Jimmy. Darren put his hand on the top off the car and bent over and said "This is where you come in."

Standard pulp fair

So you're on a yacht with some friends, partying hard, and you've finally managed to get some time alone with that special someone you've been crushing on for a while. What could possibly ruin the moment? How about A BOAT FULL OF ZOMBIE PERSIAN SAILORS? Hey, happens to everybody, right? But in all seriousness, that's basically the plot of this story. Your typical dashing hero who's able to punch everybody who messes with him hangs out with a curvy damsel, only to be interrupted by something that puts them both in trouble. In this case, it's undead sailors riding a rotting oar-driven ship, who come on board, take all their friends, and attempt to take them as well. Hero and damsel get away, only for the damsel to get captured again... and again... and... well you get the picture. Of course, our hero is able to take on the undead baddies, the two-timing captain that betrayed them, and even some vampire lords that enter the picture.

As you can tell from the previous paragraph, this is some standard pulp horror. You've got the big, brawny hero (at one point he's described as weighing 200 pounds, which I assume is all muscle), the damsel that enters various modes of undress throughout the story, the mindless ugly guys causing trouble, and some really convenient moments in the narrative. The story takes a few peculiar turns, and the climax will have you thinking, "Wait, how is this physically possible?" However, it's not a BAD story, and isn't terribly written. If you want some mindless fun to read, or some classic horror-adventure, this will probably be right up your alley. There are some cool elements, like the captain's horn, or the blood sacrifices. It definitely gets you engaged when it has to, even if everything in between has you chuckling lightly. Still, not a terrible read for those looking for some pulp fun.

Good For A Laugh

As I read this story, I pictured everything happening in black and white...like one of those old-school horror movies that are too cheesy to be scary. In this case, a yacht comes across an ancient ship manned by the undead, and the crew is taken to a spooky island.

I don't know what is worse: the dialogue or the one-dimensional cliche characters. The plot, however, isn't that bad, and the zombies aren't the only monsters...but they are not Romero undead by any means.

I also don't know how old this story is, but horror has definitely evolved since this was originally published.
