Dime Detective (2012)
I’m back for round two of Comet Press’ Randy Chandler novel collection. This time we have Dime Detective, a pulp detective novel set in the ’50s. I was a bit skeptical about this one. I mean, why read a book written today about a private dick in the ’50s? Why not just read a book [...]
The Fall Guy (2011)
There comes a time in every Horror fiend’s life when he or she must step out of the genre and breathe the fresh air of something that doesn’t involve graveyards, monsters, or serial killers. It’s important to have these moments of rest so that we can dive back into the genre with renewed vigor. Comet [...]
Daemon of the Dark Wood (2012)
The good folks at Comet Press have seen fit to release yet another great horror novel for us voracious horror fiends to devour. This time we get Daemon of the Dark Wood by Comet Press alum Randy Chandler. Just about every short story collection they’ve released has had a story from him in it, and [...]
Ted’s Score (2012)
Readers of Toxic Graveyard have read me gush about the awesomeness of Comet Press every time I read one of their books. Ted’s Score is no different. Written by Daniel P. Coughlin (who also wrote the screenplays for horror films Lake Dead and Farmhouse), Ted’s Score is a great page turner. Ted is a serial [...]
Necro Files (2011)
Any semi-regular reader of this site has heard me profess my love for Comet Press numerous times and look out cuz i’m gonna do it again. This time I’ve got a copy of their new anthology Necro Files: 20 Years of Extreme Horror. And extreme it is indeed. Being no stranger to extreme fiction, having [...]
Scarla (2011)
I love Comet Press. Seriously, they’re my new favorite small press publisher. With a handful of amazing short story collections in their library they have finally decided to branch out into releasing novels, or in this case, novellas. Scarla, by BC Furtney, tells the tale about a young woman who just happens to be a [...]
The Samaritan (2011)
Man I love reading. I love it so much I do it every night but lately I haven’t had that craving. The craving I get when I’m reading an especially good book. The craving I feel when the sun goes down and I know I’ll be cracking it open again soon. Or when I see [...]
Sick Things (2010)
Recently I’ve discovered the awesomeness that is Comet Press. There is a myriad of small press horror publishers out there, and more seem to be popping up all the time. Many times these small press companies promise “extreme” horror but often what you get is a poorly edited book riddled with grammatical and spelling errors [...]
The Death Panel (2009)
Recently I discovered Comet Press, a new small press publishing company that released the wonderfully gross body horror short collection Vile Things, reviewed here. These guys know how to put out great memorable short collections and the Death Panel is no different. The Death Panel is a collection of dark crime/thriller/horror stories that covers alot of [...]
Vile Things (2009)
I love reading and literature. Every night before I rest my weary head I have to read. I have a voracious appetite for the written word which is only rivaled by my appetite for film. I rarely review books however, mostly because I don’t read “new releases” very often. I always seem to be a [...]
