Blog Tour / Guest Post: ‘The Inspiration for The Disciple’ by Stephen Lloyd Jones, author of The Disciple

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for The Disciple by Stephen Lloyd Jones with a guest post about the inspiration. I loved reading The Disciple (see my review) and I recommend it to those who love fantasy and horror. Don’t forget to visit other blog stops along the tour for other great content. The Inspiration for The Disciple In The Disciple, published by Headline this month, Edward Schwinn, a barely-functioning recluse, is returning home one winter evening when he happens across a five-vehicle pile-up. Investigating the wreckage, he discovers the sole survivor: a woman, heavily pregnant, blindfolded and bound. It’s over a year since I wrote that opening scene, but I remember the experience very clearly. One moment I was walking near my home, and the next I was sitting beside Edward in his Land Rover as he navigated the mountain road on which he travelled. I could smell the wet odour of his dog in the back, and could just about see around the corner to the carnage that awaited him. At this point, I had no […]

Review: The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Arnopp

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Arnopp Published by Orbit on March 3, 2016 Genres: Fantasy, Fiction, Horror, Mystery, Paranormal, Thriller Pages: 336 Format: Paperback Source: Publisher Buy on Amazon Goodreads Jack Sparks died while writing this book. It was no secret that journalist Jack Sparks had been researching the occult for his new book. No stranger to controversy, he’d already triggered a furious Twitter storm by mocking an exorcism he witnessed. Then there was that video: forty seconds of chilling footage that Jack repeatedly claimed was not of his making, yet was posted from his own YouTube account. Nobody knew what happened to Jack in the days that followed – until now. The Last Days of Jack Sparks is a dangerously addictive book, where the supernatural will scare you to death and Jack’s humour give you some light relief. This was an fun book for me but I couldn’t […]

Review: Fellside by M. R. Carey

I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Fellside by M.R. Carey Published by Orbit on April 5, 2016 Genres: Fiction, Horror, Thriller Pages: 486 Format: E-Arc Source: Netgalley Buy on Amazon Goodreads Fellside is a maximum security prison on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors. It’s not the kind of place you’d want to end up. But it’s where Jess Moulson could be spending the rest of her life. It’s a place where even the walls whisper. And one voice belongs to a little boy with a message for Jess. Will she listen? So I picked Fellside up because I adored The Girl With All the Gifts, so to see M. C. Carey’s new book  was really exciting. And there was a little bit of jumping up and down. Unfortunately/fortunately (depending how you look at it) this is a completely different book in ever way. This doesn’t mean that it was a bad book, rather my expectations got in the way. This is a mystery book […]
