Rating: 5 Stars
Suffer the Children is set in the early twentieth century. A professor of Oxford, whilst conducting research in a library belonging to an acquaintance, discovers a journal written by his associate’s father. In this journal contains a horrifying account of his travels to Sardinia.
This is a short, subtle horror story that reads like it was written in Victorian times. Selwood has mastered this style and the tale leaves you with chills long after you’ve finished reading. An excellent short story that I highly recommend!

This week’s Featured Author on the Goodreads Paranormal, Fantasy, Dystopia and Romance Readers, Writers and Reviewers Group is Andrea M. Alexander.
About Andrea M. Alexander
I’ve written everything from poetry to newspaper articles, but young adult and new adult fiction are my favorite genres. Writing has been my passion since elementary school. I’m even picky about my pens and pencils — the lead has to be dark and the ink has to be thick. While I will always love the smell of a new book, the digital age has captured my attention in the form of eBooks.
I’ve lived in seventeen states (Georgia right now) and two countries, so I don’t claim to have a home town. I will always love traveling, and if I can’t get there physically, I can always get there in my mind. My imagination always keeps me company, but so do my readers when they send emails…so please feel free to write!

Rating: 4 Stars
2513 is a unique story that depicts dying and the process of collecting souls as a business and Grim Reapers as employees of the corporation. Due to an error, Matthew Anderson is alive and shouldn’t be. Instead of dying he is offered the chance to choose a different life for himself.
Much of the novel is about Matthew’s choices and the situations that he finds himself in following on from those choices. The banter between the three main characters had me laughing in several places, but as well as humorous this is a thought-provoking read. The end was left somewhat open for a follow up which I’d love to read too.
Overall this was a good, fun read which I enjoyed immensely.

Montana’s getting creepy feelings from something or someone on her property and Rose, her neighbor, is bringing new “friends” into her life.

Rating: 4 Stars
The Cautionary Tale of Butch Black is a diary-style novel telling of World Mart employee Butch Black’s descent into madness after ten years of loyal service in a job that isn’t really going anywhere fast.
I really enjoyed this story and J.B Maynard’s style of writing. Butch’s documented descent is an intriguing read as you try to decide whether he has uncovered the terrifying truth about the company he works for or if the repetitive and monotonous years have finally taken their toll.
This is a quick read filled with amusing one liners and observations about life and I look forward to the next instalment, Black Wonderland.
