Prepare to scream forever! Howie Payne and Nick Enlow work the midnight shift at Big Carl’s Video Transfer and Media Services. An odd AVI clip begins to appear in their public drive on a nightly basis. At first Howie and Nick think it’s a serialized art house horror film someone on the day shift is sending them in secret. As the clips progress, however, the now obsessed duo discover something deeper and darker in the videos.

Story4 out of 5 stars 9
A mysterious house sits on a corner block on a hill in St. John's, Newfoundland, in one of the oldest cities in North America, a nondescript, three-story wooden cube, going slowly to seed. When local cops, John Green, Janis Lodge and Todd Wiggins are sent to investigate a multiple murder on the top floor of the property, they start opening doors and uncovering secrets. But like peeling the layers off an onion, each door opened only leads them deeper into the mystery. There are houses like this all over the world, and those who suffer are drawn to them, as John, Janis and Todd have been drawn. They have found their way in. Can they find their way out again? And at what cost?

Eater is a screenplay adaptation of Terry M. West's Honger novellas written by the creator of the gory hit series himself. De onheilige honger (the unholy hunger) is a curse passed from a Dutch trapper in 1679. Those given the bite that never heals live forever, remember little of their previous lives, and every season they must partake of human flesh. They must eat. To the bone. They have been called many names. Boeman. Rakshasas. Wendigo. They are the eaters. And they live among us.

The Dirty Parts of the Bible is a humorous adventure across America during the Great Depression - a rollicking tale of love and liquor, preachers and prostitutes, trains and treasure, sure to appeal to fans of O Brother Where Art Thou?, Water for Elephants, Mark Twain, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash. It's 1936, and Tobias Henry is stuck in the frozen hinterlands of Michigan. Tobias is obsessed with two things: God and girls. Mostly girls, of course. But being a Baptist preacher's son, he can't escape God.

A suicidal nudist strolls into traffic. An eccentric Buddhist claims he can occupy other people's bodies. All the while, whispers of a new form of entertainment blow through town. Prompted by these strange occurrences, Marty Raft, a not-so-gentle giant, investigates and discovers underground clubs peddling music that induces an out-of-body experience. Marty and a wannabe comedian, Corey, set out to prove these special frequencies are nothing more than a hoax, or at worst, a mass-drugging. Instead, they uncover a secret with world-ending possibilities.

Kindred Spirits Bound By Darkness
One thing I have found listening to Terry M West is that you never know what type of story you are going to get. This one is perfect case in point. Have to admit the cover and title really are what made me want to listen to the story. Cleadosia definitely doesn't disappoint at all and really is the star of the story. Johnny was a great character, but, the darkness and sexiness of Cleadosia really outshines the issues Johnny has. The story is truly a love story made in hell and I would say the lesson learned is to be careful of who you fall in love or become infatuated with. A.J. Carter did a good job with the narration. I really enjoyed his different character voices and especially the carny voices. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Not really a "romance"
I love horror and I love romance, so when this was touted as a "romance from hell", I was all over it but sadly that's not what it was. Granted this is a very short story and could very easily be from an anthology as it just has that "I was given a topic and wrote a quickie" type vibe but I digress. It starts with Johnny who is having a very hard time dealing with the death of his parents and decides to recreate some of his childhood memories by going to a classic carnival that is passing through. Johnny is having a fun time and is captivated by a slideshow attraction with a beautiful mysterious lady but all goes to hell in a hand basket (as my grandma used to say) when a local bully decides to pick on poor Johnny. Talk about a psycho on psycho on psycho action. It's a classic tale of who's the biggest hidden baddie and reminds me more of a twilight zone episode where everything is not what they seem. Not really horror or scary, just "ummmmm ok well there's that." kinda thing.
