A Different Kind of Christmas Story, Below Torrential Hill, a review

Karen’s Review A winner of the Electric Electra Books Novella Competition 2020, I had this on pre-order and hadn’t realised it was a Christmas story. It's a very deep, thought-provoking tale about 16-year-old Tristan and his family, and all set over the Christmas period. It takes you on an unusual journey with a comet blazing… Continue reading A Different Kind of Christmas Story, Below Torrential Hill, a review

A Partner in Crime by Tony McManus

Karen’s Magic Review I had forgotten how good short stories are. They really aren’t given enough credit. Partners in Crime is just 20 pages long. A neat short-to-the-point read. When done well like this one, it's very satisfying. I was always taught to write about what you know, and I know the author lives in… Continue reading A Partner in Crime by Tony McManus

Dare you go down to the Basement?

I’ve never been a horror lover, and have known about this book for a while. When it came on offer, I couldn’t resist downloading it. At a hundred pages long, it was worth taking a chance. Even if it was too horrific, silly, or gory, I could at least say I had read it. Surprisingly,… Continue reading Dare you go down to the Basement?

Ray by Tony McManus

Karen's Magic Review There are times in our busy lives when we stop. Stop to breath a moment. Stop because we are waiting. It is the latter that I am focusing on. It could be on a break, or lunch hour at work. It could also be waiting for an appointment, as a passenger in… Continue reading Ray by Tony McManus
