A homicidal manic (referring to herself as Grazine), is carving her way across America with one very clear signature to her killings - grammatical errors.
"Please, I have two kids. Please...let me go," Stella pleaded...
"Are you asking me a question or is that a declarative statement? I can't decide."
According to herself, she is:
(Girl, while your actions are extreme, I empathize. I feel you so much).
"...just a run-of-the-mill reader who has been very frustrated reading unedited manuscripts all her life."
She's interviewed by Corrigan, host of a controversal internet talk show, during which he attempts to get to the bottom of her motivation.
But little does he know, the Grammar Nazi has something up her sleeve, something that will absolutely make this his most memorable interview ever.
Corrigan: ...You really area Grammar Nazi, aren't you?
Grazine: Well, I don't particularly like that phrase Grammar Nazi. I would say I am a puritan.
Overall - LOVED this concept.
Corrigan: What happened to her?
Grazine: What do you think happened to her?
Also, before I start: Grazine, if you are real, please keep in mind, I am a one-woman-show. I am not a real "writer" and my initials do not fit your MO. So, if there are any grammatical errors, please pass me by!
I really enjoyed reading this novel - it was hilarious, gruesome and hilariously gruesome.
There was so much tongue-and-cheek humor, which just was perfect for such an over-the-top concept.
Also, as a reviewer (admittingly not a "professional" reviewer), there were so many quotes that just spoke to me:
"The serial killing space, as you know, is largely male-dominated. There is a lot of competition for females."
I've rejected so many books to review purely because I don't think I could withstand the headache associated with inconsistent capitalization, misplaced pronouns and a plethora of other errors.
"But when you did not respect me as a reader, WHY SHOULD I RESPECT YOU AS A WRITER?"
I do wish the author took this concept even further - most of the book is told interview-style and with it being such a short story, I really, truly wish it was 5x longer.
There was so much potential to show Grazine's personality through flashbacks or other methods, rather than this format: Interviewer: Asks question; Interviewee: Responds
Fingers crossed that the author takes this one as a series - I would be the first one to sign up!
Also, just a general shout out for this quote:
With thanks to the author for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review I have no connection to Ryan Suvaal.
I good quick read into the deranged and predatory mind of a serial killer. The scariest thing about this book is how close to reality it is. Even though it is set a couple of year in the future the technology and dealing of the dark web are already a problem today.
On the dark web you can get anything from red rooms to interviews with deranged psychopaths where they feel they cannot be traced, but what does the killer gain from meeting their "fan's"? Is there an even more sinister game at play.
All I can say I hope the Grammar Nazi does not come after reviewers.

Grammar
Fireside Chat with a Grammar Nazi Serial Killer, is a highly imaginative, tongue-in-cheek story of a psychopath that has been rattled by the misuse of grammar. The infamous Grammar Nazi Serial Killer came to despise the incorrect use of grammar after living in a house of cannibals when a Whatsapp message inadvertently goes out to everyone saying “Let’s eat Grandpa” when it should have read “Let’s eat, Grandpa.” That missing comma has serious ramifications for poor old Grandpa.
The dark humour starts with the killer, murdering her seventeenth victim, an author Stella Davidov, for writing a complex sentence with too many missing commas. Describing it as a writing blitz and she needs to slow her down by drowning her in resin. Another victim is chain-sawed in two because they used split infinitives.
The main part of the short story is an interview on the dark-net by a famous but mysterious host, Corrigan Dante, where he probes her motives, methods and rationale for the killings. There is a surprise ready to be announced at the end of the interview.
This short story presents a very dramatic warning to authors to ensure that their editing efforts are treated with diligence. Authors and writers beware, this may get uncomfortable. It’s also an interesting dialogue of an interview with a serial killer that is very well written. It was very short, at 23 pages, thereby limited in building any of the characters, establishing an engrossing plot, or building deeper motivation. It felt like a sample of a bigger story, a very enticing sample, but too short to satisfy my appetite.

Maybe 3.5 stars, but with that AWESOME cover, I'm pushing it up to 4.
Now, dear authors, I will never threaten any of you, but not everybody is as levelheaded as I am, so please edit your stories, because it CAUSES SOME READERS UNNECESSARY FUCKING STRESS!

A short story about a serial killer. The fireside chat takes place on the darknet, on a show that interviews some of society's worst people. The latest chat features an interview with a serial killer who targets authors. The killer has murdered seventeen authors for the atrocious and cavalier grammar mistakes in their books. The killer has been dubbed the Grammar Nazi Serial Killer, and believes she has valid reasons for committing the murders.
A clever and twisted short story. The killings are violent and gruesome. The reasons for the killings are hilarious. If you like dark humor and serial killer stories, then this one is for you.

I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affects my opinion of the book in general.
This short story was so good! As someone who worked as a back-up editor while attending university, I really connected to this main character who goes by the name Grazine. Grazine is known as the "Grammar Nazi Serial Killer" who murders authors who make grammatical mistakes in their books. She goes on a dark web series where infamous criminals go for a 42 minute chat to discuss whatever the host Corrigan Dante and a chosen few who bid enough money to ask the guest a question. The interview revealed some information about a woman who no one knows, including Corrigan, yet are dying to understand.
Not sure this is a good thing but I felt I understood Grazine, to a point. I too got tired of reading fellow papers that were filled with grammar mistakes and badly structured sentences when I helped teachers grade their papers. My mom is also an editor and writer so I guess you can say it's in my blood. I've also read books where I noticed mistakes that editors or authors let pass onto their published novels. Instead of killing the writers I ended up going to school for further learning on this topic and working on helping others improve their writing skills. I'm not a perfect writer in my reviews so I feel very glad that this killer doesn't really exist or that I'm not a big time writer. I'd be scared if this woman was after me haha.
I really liked the dark humor in this story. There was enough mystery about the Grammar Nazi Serial Killer to make her intriguing for me but it bothers me that we couldn't get to know her better. The epilogue of this book left me wanting more. It makes sense why we never got to know her name as she's not meant to be fully known to us. Most serial killers can't be fully understood but we know information about them; we get to know her through the dark web chat.
If you're sensitive to tough scenes then I would suggest you either skip this story or read when you're in the mood for something scary because his novella contains swearing from the main characters and explicit scenes involving murder. Other than that I'd highly recommend this book as it's super short (23 pages) and has an original and interesting concept.

"But when you did not respect me as a reader, WHY SHOULD I RESPECT YOU AS A WRITER?"
This short story is a psychological thriller and it really exceeded my expectations. In fact, I had so much fun reading it. The story is set in near future, “Fireside chat” being a chatroom dedicated to the infamous of the society, who gather in this corner of the dark net to discuss their notorious deeds. As the name suggests “Grammar Nazi” serial killer is a guest of this famous show. This particular serial killer, going by the name Grazine, is notorious because she kills authors whose book contains severe grammatical errors and after a lifetime of reading books which feels like unedited manuscripts, she decides to take matters into her own hand.
I must say, this is one unique plot and it resonated with me on so many levels. I am continuously reading one book or the other and while I almost overlook minor grammatical errors every now and then, I have come across a few books in the past, which were pure headache to read because of so many simple grammatical errors. So, somewhere I understand Grazine’s motivations. I don’t approve of it because obviously, I am not Crazy but I get where she is coming from. In fact, I thought Grazine’s character to be extremely interesting and intriguing. Surprisingly, I wanted to know more about her past and present life. Which is also my only complaint, I wish this wasn’t a short story but a 300-page novel and I wish, I could be inside her head some more and learn more about her thought process. On the plus side, though, I loved the format of the story. I think, the interview format kept the essence of the story absolutely intact all the while maintaining just the right amount of mystery.
Overall, “Fireside chat with Grammar Nazi serial killer” apart from being horrid is also enormously engaging, comical and satirical. Also, I am a little scared posting this review but just to be sure, Grazine if you are out there, I know, I match your MO but please don’t come after, I am not a writer even though, I do write blog posts on the internet. (wink, wink)

She’s an anti-hero on the darknet. This serial killer takes her business seriously as she goes on a one woman campaign to correct the grammatical shortcomings of writers and wordsmiths everywhere. Because really, a dead writer will error no more…
FIRESIDE CHAT WITH A GRAMMAR NAZI SERIAL KILLER is a cleverly twisted tale where clearly, a red pen would never make the impression that a gruesome death will and this killer is out to prove a point and ease the “itch” she gets when grammar is butchered time after time.
Ryan Suuval plants his tongue firmly in his cheek as page after page of dark humor and bloody gore unfold under his (I assume) grammatically correct pen!
A fun read, dry and completely entertaining, I’m sure somewhere within his words there is a lesson for us grammar butchers!

OMG this short story! Hahaha. The very beginning had me going, Oh no... I'm not going to like this. WHAT............ and then I got the Fireside Chat and YES! This is where the story shines.
We have a woman serial killer out to make a name for herself. Fireside Chat is on the dark web where people can listen to an interview with serial killers who are vetted to make sure they are who they say they are. You can even pay a pretty coin in hopes of being one of the chosen ones to ask a question yourself.
What I loved best is how she kills her victims and the reasons behind her strategy. As an avid reviewer, I tend to look over grammatical error and typos since ARCs are uncorrected copies and are to be expected. However, in final copies, an abundance of these really DO get under my skin. Not enough to kill anyone... (yet). ;)
This is on kindle limited right now so if you have it, run and spend a few minutes on this short story. I'm so glad I took the time

Actual rating: 3.5/5 stars!
This psychological thriller was really good! It took me like... 10 minutes to read. The blurb was page turning, I literally couldn't stop!
(Despite the warnings.. I'm not the susceptible type).
TRIGGER WARNINGS: Few descriptions of violence and gore.
Only thing that keeps me from giving a higher rating is: ..... Poor character development! I know I cannot ask the world out of a little less than 30 pages, but I wish I could've read more about the main character background story!

[I was sent this book to review]
Well, being angry at an.author because of the way they write their books is something I can relate too. Envisioning murder because of it? Now that's some messed up mindset that I'll admit is preeetty interesting.
I kinda saw the end coming which made it a little less impactful than it was probably meant to be.
PS: grammatical tip: use "their" in stead of "his or her", maybe that way readers won't want to act like Grazine ;)

Grazine is our MC in this short, she is the Grammar Nazi.
Though she isn't fond of that nickname.
I found Grazine very likable, extremely engaging, funny and approachable.
It's just a short story so you don't get a whole lot of plot here. You do get enough to make you want more, so I am really hoping this story continues on in more shorts or a full length novel.

Fireside Chat with a Grammar Nazi is unlike any other story I have ever read and there wasn't scope of any hesitation to accept the review request once I read the synopsis of the story line. This is the story of a mystery woman who kills writers who make grammatical mistakes in their books. Not only that, she has unique ways of killing each of her victims and the ways resemble the kind of mistake that particular author in their book. With 17 killings already under her name within 6 months, the infamous Grammar Nazi serial killer appears on a darknet chatroom for an honest conversation with an equally mysterious host of the chatroom. There she explains her point of view and several other questions but the chat ends on a note no one was quite expecting.
It's a well-written story with a very unique plotline. The descriptions of the murders are pretty creepy and gruesome yet it struck me as quite imaginative how the murders were connected to the grammatical errors committed by the writers. The conversation between Dante and the killer is pretty intense and the whole book is a real page turner. It was almost fun to read how she rationalizes her killings because the authors didn't bother editing their manuscripts thoroughly enough! Some parts of it seemed a bit too much for me to digest but then who is to say this is purely fictional! The ending was spot on too. I feel it'd have been more interesting if Dante's character was explored a bit more. Overall, it was an enjoyable short read.

Original Rating: 3 and a half..
I received a free copy in exchange of an honest review. I am, in no way, related to Ryan Suvval.
It a very short psychological thriller suspense novel in which the antagonist is the main character. There have been several murders in the country in different gruesome ways. But there's one thing in common in all the victims. They are all writers. Then one day the killer joins an online forum discussing why she killed them. The reason is because the writers have done several grammatical errors and the antagonist couldn't help herself short of killing them. Without giving away any spoilers, I'll just sum up how it was for me.
It was a good read for me. I really loved the part where I got to get inside the head of a serial killer. I'd suggest it to anyone looking to read something good while a short ride to school, office or back to home.
Happy Reading!!

The book is so good that there are no points to dislike.

All the characters are very well scripted.

1. The concept of the story
2. The emotional turmoil of a reader when the authors\writers don't consider the readers seriously.
3. The very chaotic feeling of killing an author because of something which is not accepted but not punishable.
What I didn't like:
The book is so good that there are no points to dislike.
Characters:
All the characters are very well scripted.
Narration:
A very racy and engaging narration is found in the book.
Language & Grammar:
Flawless and not so complex language and grammar are used.
My Final Verdict:
A funny yet thoughtful read!
Book Title: 3/5
Book Cover: 3/5
Plot: 3/5
Characters: 3/5
Narration: 3/5
Language & Grammar: 3/5

*This book was sent to me for my honest review*
This books was such a quick read (and not because it is a sort story) it was just so interesting. I really want more, and think the author could someone so fun with this. I loved the fireside chat where you had interviews with the criminal population, it was written super well and I had fun reading the chat like I was a part of it. I also liked the killer she had a sense of humor though dark I found the way she explained her killings to be so funny. I also really liked the snipbit we got of one of her killings, I feel like a whole book could be written just in her point of view of killing authors.
Like I said earlier I just want more, the little of it we got was so good and I can't wait to see what else we get from this author.

🔸author sent me a free ebook copy in exchange for an honest review🔸
Didn't expect for it to be short, 40 pages and the title says it all. As a reader i find it hard to ignore mistakes but I'm not anal about it because I make similar mistakes, horrible actually in my reviews.
Well this serial killer doesn't ignore any of it so she starts killing her victims because of it.
So I personally enjoyed this short book, there were few times where I laughed. Just a different kind of read, a quick and fun one. There some gory detail.

I was sent an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Fireside Chat with a Grammar Nazi Serial Killer is about a serial killer who murders author because of bad grammar and typos. Why she does that or when and how she started is what the book is about.
It's fairly short. About 25 pages long mostly in the interview format; an episode of Fireside Chat show - an illegal show on the dark net where the host interviews all kinds of criminals. I found the concept both creepy and fascinating. Most of the times, short books leave me unsatisfied and full of questions but this one wasn't like that. There were, obviously, a few loose ends and plot holes here and there but I enjoyed the short story nonetheless. Though I do wish it was longer because it would've been more interesting and the questions would've been clearly answered.
The serial killer is completely nuts. I get mad too when the book has bad grammar or typos but killing authors for it? That's a bit extreme. I do wish there was more about why she did and not just the simple 'one day I got sick of it and started killing authors' it would've made her a creepier serial killer when she just sounded like a crazy woman.
I also find it hard to believe that police hasn't arrested her yet. She obviously has a clear pattern and she said way too much for a serial killer who is still one of the most wanted ones on the loose. This would've made more sense if she was caught because Fireside Chat has millions of viewers anyone could've tipped of the police/or could be one of the police. This is why I wish this was a longer book.
I liked the writing. It was good. It created an atmosphere of suspense and horror and kept me hooked to the story. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more of the author's work in the future.

*I have received an ARC in return for an honest review.*
Disclaimer: The novella contains swearing and explicit scenes. Not for the faint-hearted.
A short but very well-written book. This book is really true to the category of a psychological thriller and I might not be able to sleep tonight.
Luckily, I do not meet the requirements to be her next target. In fact, I was a little terrified to write a review since my grammar is terrible.
What intrigued me the most about this book was that the serial killer decided to appear on a talk show. Although I was imagining a talk show like Ellen’s or Oprah’s, I was not disappointed. The talk show is famous for having celebrities who had a dark past such as drug cartel bosses, criminals and of course, the Grammar Nazi Serial Killer. The serial killer appears in the talk show and it is written in the style of an interview. I liked how Suvaal wrote about the details of the serial killer’s past murders and told the story in such an unconventional manner.
The story had a very interesting ending that I did not expect. It is so unfortunate that the talk show had to end so soon.
Fireside Chat with a Grammar Nazi is a gripping, terrifying read that makes you wonder if you’d be next.

This is my first english review, so if I got some mistakes please forgive me! I am still learning english writing. So, IF I MADE A FEW OR A LOT OF MISTAKES, PLEASE, TELL ME.
I want to thank Sam Morrison for contacted me and asked me if I wanted to read this book.
I actually enjoyed it!!
I've never read a book like this before. It was something new for me.
The story it's about a killer who killed authors only, because in their books they made a mistakes, and she can't forgive them. So she kills them.
The story it's short and I liked that because the author focused in the main character and their reasons to kill. It was very interesting read her and trying to understand her why she does what she does.
The way she kills the authors was very creepy, and I was like wow, this is really weird. But the think I like most It was the reason why she killed them and her past was sad and, again, creepy. I recommend this book who likes gore and thriller and all that kind of books!
I would have liked the book to be longer.
THANKS TO THE AUTHOR FOR MAKING THE MAIN CHARACTER WOMAN.

"I see a book full of grammatical blunders as a box full of roaches. As I read this book, I feel those roaches crawling under my skin and in my blood, all traveling to my brain."
How sensitive are you when you encounter grammatical and punctuational mistakes while reading a new book? Well, the main character in this book is highly sensitive to grammatical errors. She has just had enough... And she decided to punish the authors for their mistakes in a very gory, gruesome and deadly way. She killed 17 authors, but still - nobody knows who she is....
In a criminal underground, there's an online fireside-chat show hosting the most dangerous criminals. This time, the Grammar Nazi is a guest and one will learn more about the reasons and the ways she killed the authors, but when you find out why she's in the show, it will suprise you. 😊
This book is funny and gruesome at the same time. Descriptions of the murders are horror-worthy and the ending is a big surprise.
I liked the book very much, but it was just too short. I think it would have more depth if it had at least one or two chapters more before the interview that Grammar Nazi had in the show.
I still do recommend it, I had a few laughs and was happy I wasn't a book writter - who knows what Grammar Nazi would do to me. 🤣

Fireside Chat with a Grammar Nazi Serial Killer is a psychological thriller that follows a deranged murderer who kills authors. The title of the book holds a very important hint to what this book is really about. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and it was a page turner. Imagine someone hell bent on killing you just because you made grammatical errors and did not bother to rectify the mistakes. To be fairly honest there is a lot more to the story and we get to know more about the killer's murdering patterns as well as strategies in chapter 2.
The twists are unpredictable, shocking and together with the villainous remarks by the killer who has an interesting back story made it an utterly enthralling read. There were descriptions of gory murder scenes and it's truly remarkable to note that the author left no stones unturn. Hats off to the author who created the marvellous story that had me hooked from the very beginning.
I highly recommend you to read this book. I wanted to keep my review spoiler free so I didn't delve deeper into the descriptions of our main character and her MO.

This was unlike anything I have ever read before. I absolutely loved it!
I found the sypnosis intriguing , and being a criminology student at university, didn't need to be asked twice if I would read it.
Firstly, the way this short story has been written really helps tell the tale really well. Split into 2 chapters and an epilogue, chapter one sets up a premise for the next chapter by portraying the actions of the serial killer. Chapter 2 is then the 'chat' with the killer, and the epilogue, well, best let you read it to find out exactly what makes the epilogue interesting.
Despite being a short story, it feels like so much is said with so few words and pages. You truly get an understanding of the killer, their mental state in a variety of aspects and it shows a calmness to the crazy (or what could be depicted as crazy). The idea of killing authors due to their grammar and writing 'mistakes' is unique. I can't think of a better word to describe it. It's one of a kind. That I know of at least. Highly reccomend!!

Fireside Chat With A Grammar Nazi Serial Killer is a fun read for anyone who gets really peeved over misused grammar in proof read and published books.
This short story has mixed a serial killer, a grammar Nazi, and the darker side of the web to create a disturbing yet amusing tale, all parts actually already reality if broken down separately.
There are many serial killers out there it's just a matter of finding what sets them off.
With the advances to the darker side of the web chat rooms are are already happening in real life.
So what makes this book so unique? The downfall of this story was it was just too short. There wasn't enough time for character building. Maybe that's what the author was aiming for. I don't know. I hit the last page and finally felt like I was starting to get somewhere with the Grammar Nazi character and BAM! The story ended. That was a real disappointment for me.

I recieved an ARC from the Author for a honest review.
This was an intense little read, the idea behind it and the plot twist i didnt expect was great. I had trouble with the explanation behind the killings, i think I would have enjoyed it more if it were longer and dug further into G.g.g's compulsions but all in all a good short thriller.
Thank you for sending me a copy to review

Okay, so I am going to keep this short because this story is only 23 pages long. So as you may expect this story is a conversion with a Serial Killer that has gained the name Grammar Nazi Serial Killer. I listen to a number of podcasts and found that this story felt just like one. I was stopped in the middle of reading this and when I came back I picked up my phone to continue it only to realize that it was a book I was reading and not a podcast. I have today that has never happened to before and I take it as a good thing. If this sounds interesting to you in any way I would suggest you pick it up.

Thanks to an email offering me this ebook in exchange for a review, I've managed to squeeze in book 11 of the month 🤗
I enjoyed this a lot. Our leading lady is a funny serial killer of authors who dare to publish books with grammatical errors. I loved this because I am no stranger to enjoying a book only to have it spoiled when there is a glaring spelling mistake or a character's name is changed for no reason whatsoever. Her reasoning is funny and some of her lines made me laugh out loud! A really good short story 🙌🏻
I think she could be good friends with Rhiannon from Sweet Pea by CJ Skuse 😎

Fireside chat with a grammar Nazi serial killer.

I'd like to thank Samantha Morrison for sending this review copy.

I have always enjoyed good murder mysteries and was very eager to know how an author managed to fit in a story in just 24 pages. This was probably the shortest book I've ever read but enjoyed it immensely.
~
The story is set in 2021 where things start to go awry. It begins with a killer confronting her next victim minutes before she decides to kill her. The serial killer is a woman in her mid 30s who enjoys reading whenever she can spare sometime. And when she reads, she expects the books to be flawless. The vocabulary, grammar and every little thing is noticed by the killer before she gets to decide which writer should die next. Even a little slip-up can cost an author his or her life. Hence, the name Grammar Nazi.
~
The killer goes on a killing spree, infuriated by the number of books being published without being edited. One fine day, she appears on an illegal fireside chat built only for criminals who discuss about their crimes. When she openly declares that the host of the show will be her next target for writing a book with terrible sentences, the host accepts it. Read this book to see how the story ends. Will she be able to kill the host? Or will she face her first failure?
~
This book impressed me with the level of mystery it added in just few pages. It's extremely difficult to write a story, especially a murder mystery with such authority. That being said, I had however hoped that there would be couple of more chapters so that I could get a grasp on the killer's character. The plot was extremely unique which goes without saying that the very excuse of murders were mind-boggling.
~
I would rate this read 4/5.
