One could actually include all the tags above (except historical) when describing the tale, but acclaimed horror author Susan May was gracious enough to have reviewed, saying: "This has to be one of the best horror stories I've read in a long time. I'm a hor Read more of this blog post »

It's Not Nice to Fool Mother Nature! This is a jolly good yarn, with the overabundance of pain, suffering, and action sequences consistent with a Bruce Willis movie. It was actually these rather than the medical miracle speculation, however, that pus ...more |

“Nozy Cat lifted one sleepy eyelid, and his marble blue eye glared at her for interrupting his sacred nap. He wore a yellow collar with little red stars printed on it. His second eyelid also opened, and he gave them his irritated blue-eyed glare.”

“Quote is taken from Chapter 1:
A decade ago when Isabel’s husband Max had died, they’d moved in together and merged their possessions. Neither sister brought any fussy teapots, canaries, sachets, or doilies, but lots of other stuff had to either stay or go. Looking at the lime green armchair gave Alma the willies. Her suggestion to slipcover it in a more subdued color had garnered Isabel’s frosty stare, and Alma had dropped the matter.”
