Praise
Gruesome, funny…brims with a variety of unimaginable horrors you won’t be able to turn away from.
Micah Castle (author of The Abyss Beyond the Reflection) reviewing Sickness is in Season
…wonderfully terrifying…unsettling…brutal…I didn’t think it could get any more terrifying. I was wrong.
Erica Robyn Metcalf reviewing Squirming Disease
Aiden leaves no room for happy endings, instead giving way to feelings of dread. You’ll have to cheer yourself up this time around!
