Book Review: Please Haunt Me by Channing Cornwall

June 08, 2023 by Joe Gray in Book Review, Fiction, Horror, Reviews, Short Stories

I highly recommend Please Haunt Me to anyone who wants to put their mind through a minefield of mentally marking mayhem directed by a harbinger of horrific and horrible acts that leave you questioning your own reality. Or if you just like the horror genre and like the idea of the scary shit not going on too long because they are short stories.

PLEASE HAUNT ME - A Short Story by Channing Cornwall

October 26, 2022 by Joe Gray in Contributors, Short Stories, Horror

When I picture you now, I envision you like how we imagined ghosts as children. White sheets draped over a body with two holes cut for the eyes to see. Maybe it’s Halloween night and you had to create a costume on a budget, or maybe you’re stalking the house, waiting for your opportunity to scare me. It feels childish and innocent and easy to imagine you so simply. It’s easier to picture that than the alternative, your withered figure wracked with cancer glowing ethereally like the ghost of Christmas past.

Something Horrible Came With the Rain - A Short Story by Channing Cornwall

September 12, 2022 by Joe Gray in Short Stories, Contributors, Horror, Mystery

There are an average of 130 suicides a day in the United States. Nearly 70% of those are white men and nearly 53% of them exit the mortal coil utilizing a firearm. There is all manner of ways to end your own life, and the truth is, I never thought much about it. Would I be a pill popper, a wrist cutter, a hangman, or go archaic and fill my pockets with stones and walk into the nearest, deep body of water? I had not the faintest idea, but knowing myself and my fears of going against the social grain, I’d probably put a gun in my mouth. I mean, is there anything more American than punching your ticket by exercising your second amendment right?

Book Review: Breathed out By God by Channing Cornwall

September 06, 2019 by Joe Gray in Book Review

Breathed out by God is Channing Cornwall's sixth novel and the second in a series following the book Hell Came With Her, whose characters show up in this entry but are not the main characters here. This new entry into the series shows a different side of the author. A side that is conflicted yet organized, and maybe, just a little preachy.
