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.

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.

So when this came I assumed it was another short story, and looked forward to reading it, which I did almost immediately. It soon became… Continue reading Crimson Frost by JP McLean

Priory by Becky Wright
Karen's Magic Review This book is so full of atmosphere you will feel that you are there. In fact, you will shudder with the characters especially when you realise what is going on.I looked for a book that would give me something more than just reading the words. I needed to experience the story and… Continue reading Priory by Becky Wright
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
