Price Manor: The House That Bleeds by Jamie Stewart

 

Title: Price Manor: The House That Bleeds

Author: Jamie Stewart

Genre: Gothic, Horror

Published: Feb.11, 2022 by Deadline Horror Collective

Other Books in the Price Manor Series

Price Manor: The House That Burns by Mike Salt (Book 1)

Price Manor: The House That Falls by Jay Alexander (Book 3)

 

A small community in rural Russia is rocked when an old gothic manor appears on the shore of a lake. Homes don't just appear from mid-air so Father Alexander Nicholai is sent in to investigate.

This was a really well paced creepy modern take on a gothic haunted house story. The characters in the story were very well developed. The main character Father Alexander Nicholai with his struggles of faith makes a great perspective to follow as he takes on the forces within the house. The house is a great character unto itself with its bleeding walls and sinister intentions.

I have not read the first book in the series, but this story was very easy to follow. I want to go back and read the rest of the story. Will it be an origin story? I must know! 

I would recommend Price Manor: The House That Bleeds to fans of mind-bending haunted house stories with a lot of blood!

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Swarm: Replugged Book Review by James Flynn

  Title: Swarm: Replugged Author: James Flynn Genre: Science Fiction Published Originally 2/1/2021 by the author, now with an new revised edition. Thank you to the author for providing a copy for review. In the second edition of Swarm, the city of Rachton is riddled with crime. A victim of crime, Eric Trammel, has turned to a life in the GLC to help fight against the criminals ruining his city. The answer the GLC comes up with is a new prison where prisoners can by connected to a hive mind to harvest their consciences to create answers to their hardest questions.  Swarm: Replugged is a great science fiction thought experiment of the possibilities of the human mind as well as the consequences of harvesting it. I read both editions of this book at the same time to compare. There are a lot of revisions that make the prose tighter though I really enjoyed both versions. Eric Trammel is a great sympathetic character to follow the story of best intentions gone wrong. I really enjoyed...

Alt Vegas: Nuclear Dreams by Wren Cavanagh Book Review

   Title: Alt Vegas: Nuclear Dreams Author: Wren Cavanagh Genre: Horror Published: September 28, 2024 I received a copy for review from the author.    Kyle and Mandy have dreams making a profit by developing when they purchase land in Esperville, Oregon. Soon they find out the land is home to a portal to another dimension stuck in 1950s Las Vegas. It is a hard place with unforgiving desert and fiendish creatures. This a fantastic creature feature horror novel with an alternate dimension flair. The characters, Kyle and Mandy, did not seem sympathetic at first as foolhardy newlyweds taking on more than they can chew. However, throughout the story they become more and more endearing. They are great underdog characters to root for. The portal to Alt Vegas allows for such contrasting settings. The lush and overgrown Oregon with the desert landscape outside 1950s Vegas. The last fourth of the book could have used another round of line editing, but overall this was a fantas...
