#ExtremeHorror #Review – Cravings: An Extreme Horror Novelette by D E McCluskey

Leave a comment

Sarah Todd is pregnant.

She doesn’t believe in cravings, and is determined to live the next seven months giving her baby all they nutrients it needs to grow into a healthy boy, or girl.

The baby, however, has other plans.

How far is she willing to go to succumb to her… CRAVINGS?

From the dark mind of D E McCluskey, author of CRACK, The Twelve, and The Contract, comes this extremely disturbing novelette.

The baby must have what the baby needs…

So I’ve read Zola by this author and that one was fun and gross but this book? Absolutely vile and disgusting and I loved every second of it.

I had no idea what to expect when I picked up this book and I’m so glad I went in blind. With the title being Cravings and also that it’s an extreme horror, I expected something unhinged but not quite what I read.

Sarah is pregnant and doesn’t believe in cravings. Thinks it’s all in your head and stuff. Until she starts craving something and the rest is history.

This book was so gross and I’m super glad I have a strong stomach. I remember thinking near the end “what the heck made the author come up with this?”

If you’re squeamish or don’t like mention of bodily fluids, you may want to pass on this. If you’re good with that stuff? Then have fun but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

5 stars for weird

5 stars for gross

5 stars for being unique

#Review #ExtremeHorror – The Found Bag of Doom: Extreme Horror (Boss Universe (Dark Web)) by Sea Caummisar

Leave a comment

Stress is piling up in Blake’s life.
A sick kid, a mountain of debt, and lack of sleep is life’s way of beating him down.
When he finds a bag full of money, he thinks all of his problems are solved.
He’s wrong. Very wrong.

Note from the author : This is extreme horror. I do not want to add any triggers. I feel like the triggers would give away the ending. The first 3/4 of the story is mild violence. The last 1/4 of the story is so vile that the author is ALMOST disgusted with herself. This is not a gimmick. This story is intended for extreme horror lovers. I will add that there is zero animal abuse in this story.

I kept seeing this book around and finally got a chance to read it. I’ve only read one other book by Sea and that was…interesting. But as a fan of extreme horror, I was excited to give this one a shot! Especially if it involves dark web stuff.

So we meet Blake who is having a difficult time. He has a sick child at home and endless hospital bills. He’s exhausted. And then he finds a bag filled with cash. I honestly don’t know what I would do if I stumbled across the same thing. It would definitely help financially but I also wouldn’t feel right. Knowing me, as tempted as I would be to keep it, I’d probably turn it in to the police and then have a good cry after. lol

After reading this book though, if I ever come across a bag filled with cash, I’m just leaving it and moving on like nothing happened.

If you like extreme horror, I definitely suggest reading this one. It’s a lot and not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure.

Gone. They are all gone.
The Olympians are frozen in stone in the middle of the desert – except for one. Pan. Freddy, Juliet, Mack, Deidre, Michael and Khalil race across the world to find him before Medusa and her Gorgon sisters get their hands on him.
After a trip to the Fates and the Oracle, they use Pandora’s box to discover the first step in defeating Medusa. They take on the power of the six original Olympians – Zeus, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, Demeter and Hestia. The line between supernatural and deity blurs as the Olympians begin to take over their new hosts.
Can the six of them free the Greek gods and goddesses before they become the Olympians themselves? And when they find the new version of Perseus, can Pan fight the attraction between them?

If you love emotional romances, rescue dogs, slow-burn chemistry, and heart-mending moments, you’ll fall for this story.
Thrown together by circumstance, Matt and Harper clash at every turn. But beneath the frustration is something neither expected:
A wounded trainer who’s forgotten how to hope.
A volunteer who believes every broken thing deserves a second chance.
A dog who needs both of them more than they realize.

Lieutenant Colonel Sawyer Blackburn, a Marine sniper battling trauma, returns home after deployment and is caught in a dangerous government conspiracy. Her brother Cooper, an investigative journalist, is murdered; Sawyer discovers files implicating top officials—including the Vice President—in a covert oil deal with China. Sawyer’s quest for vengeance and truth brings her into a fraught alliance—and complicated romance—with FBI Special Agent Reece Atwood. Together, they navigate a labyrinth of political cover-ups, assassinations of public officials, and mounting evidence of a government-wide betrayal. As bodies pile up, including Cooper’s best friends, high-level cabinet members, and foreign operatives, Sawyer’s military skills and relentless determination make her both a target and a weapon.

She watched her mother die. Then she was taken by the man who ordered it—her own father, cartel kingpin Xavier Alvarez.
Raised inside a criminal empire built on fear and bloodshed, Gabriella learned early that survival meant obedience. But beneath her silence, she was watching… learning… waiting.
Years later, the world fears a new name: Shadow—a woman building an empire designed to dismantle her father’s from the inside out.
But when a former soldier named Ryker reappears, revenge gets complicated—and the cost of retribution turns deadly.
Because when her father discovers who Shadow really is… he won’t just come for her. He’ll come for everyone she protects.


***Trigger Warning***
In order to preserve the reality in this story there are a few PA and SA scenes.

You’ve met Sue in Closing on Lynx, the tall quite VP of the Royal Bastards MC – Northern Ontario Chapter. Now we tell his story.

Coming December 15th, 2026

🧸 Made For Sue

📖 By JA Lafrance

🏍 Royal Bastards MC – Northern Ontario

🥳 Book 2

🔗 Link: https://mybook.to/MadeForSueRBMCNO

💜Blurb

Embarrassed.

Abused.

Shame.

All words Theodore “Sue” Blackhawk, Vice President of the Royal Bastards MC – Northern Ontario chapter, has playing on repeat. It’s hard to admit that he was abused. It’s even harder to speak about it when the woman who abused him was smaller than his six-foot frame.

Scars.

They cover his entire body. They are raised purple and stand out like a poorly done painting in an art gallery. Does he want to cover them up with art? Yes, but finding that many meaningful pieces of art is hard.

Love.

Yes, it exists, just not for him. Because what woman wants to lie in bed with a monster?

Live life loud.

That’s the motto that Davina “Goblin” Smithe lives by. Who cares what other people think? She is the treasurer for the Royal Harlots MC—Northern Ontario Chapter. She owns Harlots On Lock Down, the only female-owned search and rescue business in the north, and she cares for two things: her motorcycle and finding the man that will capture her soul and hang on to it like the treasure that it is.

When Sue’s demons play havoc on a stakeout, Goblin is the one who calms him. Her touch, her voice, and her presence all make Sue want to believe that love does exist for him. She makes him feel like his scars are a road map that leads to his heart.

Will Sue let Goblin chase the demons away? Or is the universe out to prove to him that he is unlovable?

Have you read book 1?

#Promo – Broken Fae (Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, #4) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

The stars have torn us apart.

Just as we were finding a way to get past our difficulties, my kings and I have been shattered by a twist of fate.

And while we’re left reeling from the wheel of destiny, our enemies are only growing more powerful.

Felix Oscura is haunting Alestria with his bloodthirsty need to steal the power of the clan he was never destined to rule over, and the illusive King is growing closer to taking control of the entire city.

With challenges around every corner, and the mysteries behind my brother’s death slowly starting to unravel, I don’t know if I’ll be able to overcome the will of the stars before it’s too late…

Elise is still trying to figure out what happened to her brother but in the mean time, she went and fell in love with four guys. Four very different guys. This book is my favourite of the series so far and while I’m itching to get back to the twins in the Zodiac Academy books, I’m kind of sad this series is almost over for me. I’m loving this whole world, the characters, the action and the suspense.

#Splatterpunk #Review – Made A Monster by Rob Nelson

Leave a comment

Adrian and Kendra are a match made in Hell.

Adrian’s dark past left him with a twisted imagination that takes him deep into the forest where he does unspeakable things.

Kendra is new to town. She has a dark secret of her own and an unhealthy obsession with a boy she hasn’t even met yet.

Until Adrian met Kendra, he had his deviant urges under control. When she comes to him for help, his capacity for violence goes beyond anything either of them could have imagined.

I’m part of a horror book group on Facebook and came across a review for this book. The way the reader wrote her review, I knew I had to bump this book to the top of my list.

If you’ve been following my horror read journey, you know that Broken Dolls: Deliverance by Mique Watson is my favourite horror book. Well this one, jumped right to the top alongside that one. Nothing can top Broken Dolls for me but this book is a close second. A very close second I must say.

So we meet Adrian and I honestly have no idea what to even say about him, Kendra or this book but I’ll try.

This story may be gruesome, filled blood, gore and everything else you can imagine or not imagine but it’s so much more than that. There’s emotion, survival, two broken souls who would do anything to get by but at the same time, are stuck.

Both Adrian and Kendra come from horrible backgrounds – This is trauma bonding to the extreme – both of their parents suck and that’s putting it lightly. They’re intrigued by each other but like most people who come from a horrible background, Adrian doesn’t know how to trust. I actually thought he came around but boy was I wrong.

You ever read a book and you’re just slobbing it on the couch or bed or wherever and then something happens in said book that makes you sit up straight, hand covering your heart or mouth, eyes wide, stomach clenching and you just can’t believe what you’re reading? Yeah, that happened to me quite a few times in this book.

So I don’t know how to review this but I’ll just say that Adrian and Kendra make Chucky and Tiffany look like angels.

Oh and please read the trigger warnings. I don’t have any triggers but the content of this book made even me uncomfortable at times.

100% recommend reading this if you’re into horror, splatterpunk and a emotionally charged story.
