Shades by Brian Keene and Geoff Cooper

August 25, 2012 by Bob Leave a Comment

Author: Brian Keene & Geoff Cooper
Publisher: Cemetery Dance Publications, 2011
Price: $2.99 ebook (both Epub & Mobi formats included)

 

Geoff Cooper and Brian Keene know their stuff. Cooper’s Retribution Inc is one of the finest rock-n-roll horror stories I’ve read. And Keene’s The Rising and Terminal are two of the best novels written in years, both within the horror genre and without. Shades is a nice combo effort from Keene and Coop. Coop provides the setting (the fictional upstate New York town of Brackard’s Point is featured in several of Coopers other works) and Keene provides the mythos (courtesy of his “Labyrinth” stories, with a touch of Russian wizardry from his novel Get Whitey mixed in.) The characters aren’t the most original we’ve seen (the adolescent who harbors untapped magical powers, and the two warring wizards) but they are relateable and realistic enough to keep you engaged in the story, which is fast-paced and fun. Overall, a “good read” — you can’t go wrong with Cooper and/or Keene!

20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill

Joe Hill’s 20th Century Ghosts is good. Very good. Like, Books of Blood good. Like, Night Shift, and Skeleton Crew good. Even the stories in this collection that don’t aim to deliver more than a plot twist and a good scare are polished gems. And some pieces qualify as priceless masterpieces. “Best New Horror” asks […]

The Art of Casual Drowning

Just in time for the summer swimming season, here’s a story about how I almost drowned in a friend’s pool a few years ago.  “Catch me, Daddy! Catch me!” “Okay. I’m ready” I thought I was, too, treading water a couple of feet from the end of the diving board. I lifted my arms up […]

The Bone Worms by Keith Minnion

Minnion’s supernatural police procedural reminds me of the work of Graham Masterton. Minnion’s characters may no be wholly original — the emotionally unstable cop, his doting ma, his long-suffering gal, his trusted partner — but they’re lively, engaging, and they keep this story humming along. Kudos to Minnion for coming up with a truly creepy […]
