A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR:
I've always loved science fiction, fantasy, and horror, but it wasn't until I combined them with pulp thrillers and noir that I found my voice as an author. I want to leave my readers breathless, want them to feel the desperate longing, the hope and fear my heroes experience as they struggle not just to survive, but to become something more.

Great for writer's block

While this book was only a sampling of his other works, it provided more than enough phrases to get the creative juices flowing. His other books are now on my wishlist.

A comprehensive, yet not exhausting to read, guide that is a must-read for any author! I especially enjoyed the "Hell's Coloring Book" section, as I am looking to pepper my writing with more varied descriptors .

Im Nachhinein entdeckte ich erst, dass es sich hierbei eigentlich um eine größere Leseprobe handelt, doch genauso wirkt das Werk auch, es ist weder Fleisch noch Fisch. Wer einen Ratgeber sucht, sollte es hier lieber lassen. Enthalten sind lediglich einige Formulierungsvorschläge zu zahlreichen Themen aus den im Titel genannten Genres, viel mehr jedoch nicht. Als kurzweilige Anregung zwischendurch taugt das Werk schon, trotzdem erfüllt es nicht ganz meine Erwartungen, zumal ein Viertel des eBooks nur aus Werbung besteht.
