http://skullsaladreviews.blogspot.com/2012/01/four-live-rounds-by-blake-crouch.html
Wednesday, January 4, 2012. Four Live Rounds" by Blake Crouch. Self-published by Blake Crouch (2010). Merry Christmas to me, because quite a few authors I had on my watch list offered free e-books on the Kindle Store this past Christmas. Blake Crouch was chief among them, I dare say, as he had several listed as freebies for a week or two. I think I downloaded them all, including this collection of four short stories. Four Live Rounds. A man tries to make his way to a mining town, but winds up in the coup...

Monday, November 7, 2011. Last Dance of the Black Widow" by Bradley Convissar. A while back I hada chance to read Brad's novella, Dogs of War. And while I wasn't wowed by it I thought it showed the guy had something going for him, and I wanted to keep his work in mind for later down the road, like the litany of names on my watch list. Then, last week, I stumbled across a free short story by him up on the Kindle Store. It's worth a look if you want to take a chance on an independent author. Think of Skull...

Tuesday, August 16, 2011. Serial" by Jack Kilborn and Blake Crouch. By Jack Kilborn (aka J.A. Konrath) and Blake Crouch (aka Blake Crouch). Norwood Press signed limited edition (2009). I had a free PDF copy of this novella from J.A. Konrath's website. But I never got around to reading it until I won a physical copy from The Man Eating Bookworm. As it stands, I really should have read it as soon as I had that PDF- but I hate reading books in that format. Donaldson and Lucy were born. Since it was original...

Friday, December 9, 2011. Red Penny Papers' (Fall 2011). I can't remember exactly when it was I discovered Red Penny Papers. But I can tell you it's been a welcome source for short fiction from day one. Stories by Aaron Polson, Camille Alexa, Natalie Sin, and others have provided me with no shortage of creepy, fun stories- and all of them for free. It might still be available, so if you prefer e-books over reading from your web browser, I highly recommend going that route. Just checked on Smashwords and ...

Skull Salad Reviews: April 2011
http://skullsaladreviews.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 22, 2011. The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart. The Sad Tale of The Brothers Grossbart. Jesse Bullington (Orbit - 2009). After all, if the publishing company was willing to spend money on not only the book/author but the cover/artist as well - especially during these trying times for publishing houses - then perhaps it is alright to judge a book by its cover? As such, how could one possibly ignore The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart. What are its morals or themes? The friends she finds...

Southern-Fried & Horrified: News & Notions from Horror Author Ronald Kelly: Helping the Hoss: A Benefit Book Auction for James Newman
http://ronaldkelly.blogspot.com/2014/05/helping-hoss-benefit-book-auction-for.html
Thursday, May 1, 2014. Helping the Hoss: A Benefit Book Auction for James Newman. Whenever I come across someone who I grow to regard with respect and affection, I usually end up calling them "hoss". Hoss is an expression we Southerners bestow upon someone who is not necessarily large in stature (think Bonanza's Dan Blocker), but, instead, large in heart and soul. I think I can do this again. but can I do it as good as this guy? And I wrote one for the trade paperback edition of. We shared a room at Hype...

Wednesday, October 2, 2013. Long Chills: Journeying the Middle Ground of Horror. When you're a writer, you have choices. many choices. First or third person narrative? What plot to explore? What place in time will the particular piece of fiction take place, the cast of characters, etc., etc. Then there is the selection of fiction length to consider.
