Deep in the heart of Appalachia stands a crooked farmhouse miles from any road. The Morrows keep to themselves, and it's served them well so far. When girls go missing off the side of the highway, the cops don't knock on their door. Which is a good thing, seeing what's buried in the Morrows' backyard. But 19-year-old Michael Morrow isn't like the rest of his family. He doesn't take pleasure in the screams that echo through the trees.

Story4 out of 5 stars 40
It begins with a freak snowstorm in May. Hit hardest is the rural town of Colby, Connecticut. Schools and businesses are closed, powerlines are down, and police detective Jack Glazier has found a body in the snow. It appears to be the victim of a bizarre ritual murder. It won't be the last. As the snow piles up, so do the sacrifices. Cut off from the rest of the world, Glazier teams up with an occult crime specialist to uncover a secret society hiding in their midst. The gods they worship are unthinkable. The powers they summon are unstoppable.

But then there were the other things...the darker things...the shadow that followed her home from the cemetery and settled into the corners of her home, refusing to let her grow up in peace. Now, after three years of being away from the place she's convinced she inadvertently haunted, and after yet another family tragedy strikes, Maggie is forced to return to the sweltering heat of a Savannah summer to come to terms with her past.

In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

Jon Padgett's The Secret of Ventriloquism, named the Best Fiction Book of 2016 by Rue Morgue Magazine, heralds the arrival of a significant new literary talent. With themes reminiscent of Shirley Jackson, Thomas Ligotti, and Bruno Schulz, but with a strikingly unique vision, Padgett's work explores the mystery of human suffering, the agony of personal existence, and the ghastly means by which someone might achieve salvation from both.

Stunning Modern Weird!
- By JoeyCatHat on 03-15-17
Publisher's Summary
What is heaven? What is hell? Ellie lives with the fear that she is an abomination. An affront to God. If her Bible Belt community were to ever discover Ellie's desires for the intimate touch of a woman, then her husband, pastor, friends, and neighbors would all despise and shun her. But by way of the World Wide Web, Ellie finds a kindred spirit in Lori Morris, a beautiful young woman with a hideous secret. Brought together by their lust, their shame, and a shared sense of hopelessness, Ellie and Lori agree to end their lives in a single night of sex, torture, depravity, and finally suicide in a luxurious hotel. But Lori has another agenda: to escape an oppressive force that could be God, or possibly the devil. In truth, he's something far, far worse. Just remember: He wants us broken.

an absolute joy, from start to finish.
Nicole Cushing is a delight, her imagination kicks open the doors that other writers, no matter how subversive, leave locked.
The reader is perfect, she matches the tone beautifully so that the unknowing listener has absolutely no idea the thrills that await in this gorgeously twisted tale.
Highly recommended for those of a stronger disposition... fans of De Sade and Lautremont take heed.

An Awry Online Connection
The Sadist’s Bible by Nicole Cushing and narrated by Julia Duval is an audiobook that is incredibly tough to review without writing spoilers. If the publishers summary has you at all interested in the subject matter and you are not an easily offended religious person try this novella-length audiobook. Spoiler Alert-this is a unique story about two women who meet online using the social network. Ellie is a devoutly religious woman staying up late online on the computer. She lives a good life; works is married but has no children. She and her husband have given up trying. She feels something is wrong with her more than infertility.
Online she meets someone who is a person she feels a connection to Lori Morris. This connection awakens feelings that are in conflict with her church and her social circle. Finally, Lori convinces Ellie to meet up with her at a hotel, have sex with her, and then both of them commit suicide together. Little does she realize Lori is mentally ill, has a criminal record, and a special needs child she plans to kill before meeting Ellie.
The story does hold the listener’s attention. It is short and sometimes graphic and wicked in its challenges to what many people believe are the norms of Christian concepts of Heaven and Hell. Pain and Suffering. The narrative makes a few shifts between characters and may be confusing for a second or two. This audiobook will not be for everyone but it will hold your attention until the end if you are interested in wanting to see what happens next.
The narration is provided by Julia Duval. Ms. Duval did an amazing job narrating this audiobook. She was able to craft some really interesting voices that were meek, sad, seductive, and horrific. I was really impressed with her vocal performance in this short audio production. The Sadist Bible has really excellent production value from 01 Publishing. The production was sharp and crisp throughout the entire audiobook.
Audiobook was provided for review by the author/narrator/publisher.

Wonderful Experience!
If you could sum up The Sadist's Bible in three words, what would they be?
dark, sinful, BDSM
What did you like best about this story?
It started fast and never slowed down. You wanted to know where this rabbit hole went. And when you got there you were NOT disappointed.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YES!!
Any additional comments?
I read the novella first and had to get the audio when it came out. Julia Duval's voice adds another element to the storytelling that kept me engaged though I knew where it was going.
