Positive reviews for our Weird Rhody horror stories continue build on Good Reads and Amazon, the first from Laura Matthews giving Wight Christmas high marks for sex-positivity and holiday cheer!

Laura is the owner and creative talent behind ThinkStory.biz, whose services include expert story analysis and editing, specifically for self-publishing authors. Having worked with Laura in the past, including during the heady days of my membership within the former Nobscot Niblets writer’s group at the now-defunct Annie’s Book Stop, once tucked away in a cozy shopping plaza in Framingham, MA.

That link goes to Niblets co-founder Robyn Bradley, whose book “What Happened at Granite Creek,” I highly recommend. “It begins as a simple act of goodwill. Koty Fowler agrees to sit with a wounded war veteran named Jamie Briggs, a quadruple amputee who resents having “charity babysitters.” But Koty isn’t like all the other volunteers in Granite Creek.

I was also glad to see a four-star rating on Good Reads for Weird Rhody from fellow horror writer Damir Salkovic, whose blog you can find at darkerrealities.wordpress.com. The compliment is short but dear to me as it comes from a fellow horror writer: “A short and very entertaining collection of creepy stories from the Ocean State, with a strong Twilight Zone vibe.”

Damir’s own work looks very interesting, as is his blog, where I found an interesting take on Amazon’s Tales from the Loop, which I personally can’t seem to make my mind up about. Can’t wait to have a look at his latest, “Kill Zone,” which sounds similar to the Running Man:

“Frank Clayton’s life has fallen apart in the wake of his son’s death. His wife has left him, he has been blacklisted from employment and his citizen-consumer status had been taken away, leaving him no choice but to enlist in a murderous reality show. When an opportunity comes up to escape his predicament, he finds out that he still has something to live for: revenge.”
