Sun Bleached Winter (Book Review)

By Leave a Comment

Sun Bleached Winter Book CoverBook: Sun Bleached Winter
Year: 2012
Publisher: Damnation Books
Author: D. Robert Grixti
Language: English
Chapters: 16
Pages: 116
Type: Novel

 

D Robert Grixti Author PictureAuthor’s Summary: They survived the apocalypse…but are they ready for the aftermath? Lionel Morton and his sister, Claire are trapped and in danger in a wasteland frozen in nuclear winter. Somehow, they managed to live through the collapse of human civilization, but the real nightmare is just beginning. Taking shelter in an abandoned bunker, they intercept a radio broadcast that promises salvation in “New City” — the supposed last vestige of humanity. With nowhere else to go and nothing to lose, Lionel and Claire decide to embark on the most dangerous journey of their lives: fight through the wasteland to reach a place that may not even exist. Sun Bleached Winter is a dark, violent story of survival, desperation and loss that explores the truly terrifying reality of the apocalypse in a world where good and evil are meaningless and where killers and cannibals lurk over every hill.

 

Review: The story is similar as with most horror novels; it’s about surviving salvation in a world of death and endless snow.  Lionel Morton and his sister Claire are trying to find more people, and a place to live in this abrupt ending of civilization.  They continually face hard times and avoid bad people, which in this they are cannibals looking for human meat.

Bad luck comes to Claire when she gets a cut on her forehead running away from the savages. She slowly weakens and eventually tragedy ensues for Lionel. His whole outlook and perspective shifts…he starts talking to himself…and/or…an unknown dark shadow whom he thinks is taunting him. From there I am leaving it to your imagination as many things continue to fluster Lionel in this epic struggle.

I 100% loved this novel, and I am rating Sun Bleached Winter the highest possible because I could relate to this crisis and unbeknownst circumstances that would surely come in a scenario such as this. There are very few ideas in novels that portray such true feelings that if these events did happen in real life, the pursuing demise of oneself would surely exist.

Sun Bleached Winter is available at popular book stores like Amazon and Barnes & Noble in Paperback form for the low price of $11.94. If you’re anxious and can’t wait for shipment there is also an Electronic Version or E-Book that they are most commonly called for your Kindle, Smart Phone or Tablet device at almost 1/3 the price of the book coming in at $4.50. This is an outstanding novel that deserves the mass appeal of all you horror readers in Internet land. My ratings, suggestions and links are below.

The Aztec Box Coming On Halloween 2013

By Leave a Comment

SHORT SYNOPSIS

Four college students dig up an ancient Aztec relic in their own backyard, only to discover a dark force that is attached to it.

 

LONGER SYNOPSIS

Following a strange, cult-like incident, police recover home video footage from a residence in Riverside, California.

The footage starts as we see Nick and Darren film themselves as they attend a South American history class at UC Riverside, California. We learn that they are actually film students and are filming themselves for practice to prepare for an eventual career in film.

Nick has a girlfriend named Karen and Darren has a girlfriend named Liz. All four of them move into a house in Riverside as their apartment lease expires.

Nick and Darren attend a Modern Television class, where their professor tells them their class assignment is to create a Reality Show filming their daily life.

As they setup cameras, they notice strange occurrences around the house,  such as lights turning on and off, strange sounds during the night. They seem to be coming from the backyard.

Liz, Darren’s girlfriend, decides to plant a lemon tree in the backyard of the house. As Darren starts digging through the rough soil with a shovel, he discovers there is something buried in the ground.

They dig out a wooden crate, open it, and discover it contains an ancient Aztec human sacrifice container.

 

ABOUT THE FILMMAKER

The Aztec Box is written, directed and produced by Serge Bronstein.

The following is an excerpt from an interview:

Q: What inspired you to write “The Aztec Box”
A: I have always liked ancient history and have always been interested in film. One of the reasons for creating this film as the fact that, in my opinion, there are very few good movies produced by Hollywood nowadays. As a kid, I loved watching Indiana Jones, and one of my favorite shows on TV is Pawn Stars. Even though it’s scripted, I loved how it teaches the viewer these little historical stories. In my film, I wanted to involve some ancient mystery, but also make sure that it is plausible, believable and tied into actual historical events. The Aztec Calendar was all the rage in 2012, so when I started writing the script in early 2012, I picked the Aztecs over the Egyptians.

 

ABOUT THE CAST

Nick Uzarski – Nick plays … Nick, the main character in this film. Nick is a native Californian and enjoys surfing and basketball.

Brisa Freitas – plays Karen, Nick’s girlfriend. Brisa is originally from Brasil. She loves yoga and bellydancing. Brisa has an extensive theatre background and is currently living in New York.

Suziey Block – Suziey plays Liz, the antagonist of the story. Suziey is a striking brunette and a veteran actor and director. Suziey starred in Entrance – a suspense film about a barista in Los Angeles stalked by an unknown admirer. Suziey is originally from Michigan and currently resides in Los Angeles.

Hans Hernke – Hans plays Darren, Liz’s boyfriend and Nick’s best friend.

A Pack Of Wolves (Book Review)

By Leave a Comment

A Pack Of Wolves Book CoverBook: A Pack Of Wolves
Year: 2011
Publisher: Grand Mal Press
Author: Erik S. Brown
Language: English
Chapters: N/A
Pages: 132
Type: Novel

 

Eric S Brown Author PictureAuthor’s Summary: The “Family” kills folks for a living. They take the jobs that no one else can survive. They’re the best at bringing death, as well as defeating it. Now, one of them has gone rogue and it’s up to The Family to hunt down one of their own before he brings about the end of the world and exposes the secret existence of werewolves. It’s horror and adventure Old West Style with blazing guns, stampeding horses, flying fists, and werewolves galore.

 

Review: A very interesting wolfy-style read for real, it captivated my brain cells and kept my attention span through all 100+ pages. A Pack Of Wolves is about those dog-like beasts. A “family” lives far from civilization to avoid trouble with the mass population. But…there’s a group of mercenaries who knows about this clan and they think they’re devious which they are not for the most part. This pack tries to do the right thing.

It doesn’t help the “family” when one of them goes rogue, seeking more power for his selfish ways and control over the normal human beings. He starts to turn people into wolves to create a large army of fierce creatures to gain larger numbers. So…his wolf family is “hot on his tail” so to speak to try and stop the madness. It’s a battle in the end against good wolves vs. bad wolves, who will survive? You must read A Pack Of Wolves to find out all of the gritty details and finale that’s well worth it.

I totally loved this novel, and was wanting more from the author, Erik S. Brown. To my amazement while researching the book, I found out there is a Part 2 called “Skyfall.” I purchased it myself immediately and is on the way to me as I type. I am excited that the ending was left open and that Mr. Brown continued on with the saga.

A Pack Of Wolves is available to buy at most of the popular stores online like Amazon and Barnes & Noble in Paperback form for $10.99. There is also an E-Book version for you tablet users so you get the Electronic Edition immediately for $3.99. This is a super read horror peeps and should be bought at your earliest convenience. My ratings, suggestions and links are below.
