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.

Book Review: I am Legend by Richard Matheson

January 29, 2023 by Joe Gray in Book Review, Fiction, Horror

This is a very well-written and exciting book to read. It is easy to get caught up in the peril and suspense the main character faces on a daily basis. You can’t help but put yourself in his shoes and imagine what kind of hell it would be like to survive in such a desolate and unforgiving world.

30 Days of Heroes: Day 2 The Gossip Hero

October 18, 2020 by Joe Gray in 30 Days of Heroes, Fiction, Western, Short Stories

Annie's blond hair flailed all around her face as she struggled to hold her new blue dress against the strong wind as she walked down the dusty main road toward the shop with the wooden sign with a lady's shoe on it. She came to the town of Battle Mountain by train a few days ago but this was the first time she was able to come back to it from her uncle Pete's ranch. She had stepped off the train and immediately noticed the shop with the woman's shoe on it and she knew she would have to come back to see it. She only had a few minutes to greet her cousins and uncle before they would have to head back to the ranch. "Can't be away too long, there's work to get done," Uncle Pete said with a smile while he stacked Annie's luggage with the supplies, tools, and dried goods he had purchased earlier that day.

30 Days of Heroes: Day 1 The Fitness Hero

April 05, 2020 by Joe Gray in 30 Days of Heroes, Fiction, Short Stories, Sci-Fi

I woke up with a headache and a furious anger. My prison cell was clean at least. I tried to smash my way through the door but it didn’t budge. I tried to rip the toilet out of the ground but it didn’t budge. I’m not the strongest man but I’m a big man, yet none of my rage was satisfied as everything in the little room was bolted to the ground or molded into it, save a pillow and blanket that was now strewn about the small area; sadly representing the minimal amount of chaos I could conjure.
