Weird Rhody has been in the wild for a handful of days and is already collecting rave reviews, namely, Rhode Island techno-thriller novelist Jon Land!

“Weird Rhody draws its heart from the classic tales of “The Twilight Zone” and its soul from the best of Stephen King’s shorter fiction in Four Past Midnight and Night Shift. This splendid collection of Rhode Island-centric stories from authors who call the Ocean State home contains enough thrills and chills to keep readers turning the pages with quivery fingers long into any night. From haunting children, to the price of fame, to a morbidly-themed Christmas tome, here are five tales from inside “The Outer Limits” guaranteed to leave your knuckles white and arms prickled with goose flesh.”

— Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author and recipient of the 2019 Rhode Island Authors Legacy Award

You can pick up your own copy of Weird Rhody on Amazon.

Needless to say, I was thrilled when fellow Rhode Islander Jon Land agreed to review Weird Rhody. I’d met him covering the Asssociation of Rhode Island Authors (ARIA) annual Rhode Island Author Expo for WarwickPost.com and we remained polite acquaintances. He graciously signed a few books as gifts for my dad, but I wasn’t sure he’d be willing to review my own collection of fellow RI writers. But he was, and I was thrilled to learn he thoroughly enjoyed the read to boot!

I also just read Weird Rhody’s first rating on Amazon.com – with another bit of high praise from BellaD: “I found myself highly entertained while reading these refreshingly original stories. I was immediately interested in the characters and found myself eagerly awaiting whatever curiosity or calamity would befall them,” wrote Bella, who hails from outside Rhode Island.

I’m eagerly waiting to read what our fellow Rhode Islanders have to say.
