WELCOME TO THE HELLFORGE. Web Presence of Matthew Fryer. Favourite 20 Horror Books. May 3, 2015. Thanks to David Wilbanks for publishing my Top 20 Horror list on his blog. A couple of months ago.

WELCOME TO THE HELLFORGE. Web Presence of Matthew Fryer. Tag Archives: Matt Shaw. Review – “Monster” by Matt Shaw and Michael Bray. March 28, 2015. I’m a sucker for books with ominous warnings of offensiveness on the cover, and they’re usually there for a reason. But while it means that some extreme horror is on the way, it doesn’t necessarily follow that it’s any good. Is there even one? Can somebody so damaged be evil? But the answers are not black and white, and the story didn’t pan out the way ...

Zombie Horror | WELCOME TO THE HELLFORGE

WELCOME TO THE HELLFORGE. Web Presence of Matthew Fryer. Tag Archives: Zombie Horror. Review – “Slowly We Rot” by Bryan Smith. April 18, 2015. I love an apocalypse road-trip, but even some of the ones I’ve enjoyed can be rather derivative. Every now and then one breaks the surface to actually deliver an experience rather than just a story, and “Slowly We Rot” is very much one of those. Like any quality apocalypse fiction, this novel is not actually. Of course I won’t spoil anything, but I will say ...

WELCOME TO THE HELLFORGE. Web Presence of Matthew Fryer. Category Archives: Fiction Reviews. Review – “Dead Shift” by John Llewellyn Probert. April 24, 2016. The last tale I read by this author was in one of the. Black Books of Horror. And it seemed as though he’d toned down his trademark dry humour and aimed further under the skin. I was therefore keen to read his new novella from Horrific Tales. The book opens with an evocative scene of urban decay. I think starting off with several pages of tradit...

https://matthewfryer.com/2012/08/27/review-the-first-book-of-classical-horror-stories-conductor-df-lewis
WELCOME TO THE HELLFORGE. Web Presence of Matthew Fryer. Review – “The First Book of Classical Horror Stories” Conductor: DF Lewis. August 27, 2012. Rachmaninoff scores the curtain raiser. “Chamber Music” by Rachel Kendall is a strangely claustrophobic fantasy involving a giant, the nuances of which I won’t spoil. A luscious and textured work, it’s one of the book’s more surreal adventures, but a welcome opener. 8211; coming from a reclusive tenant who then brutally takes his own life. I won’t ...So says...
