Following the success of his first book, The Tourist Killer, FC Etier has released his second, The President’s Club, in installments on Venture Galleries.

Julian… Read More Book Review: The President’s Club by FC Etier
Having myself just published a collection of creepy short stories, my interest in this book seemed inevitable, as it brings together “bite-sized” stories one can read in a matter of minutes. A mixture of horror, terror, disturbing, paranormal, and just plain weird, the stories are, for the most part, well written. The strength of this… Read More Book Review: Baby Teeth: Bite-sized Tales of Terror, Edited by Dan Rabarts and Lee Murray

To those of you for whom the name is familiar, no doubt you have already read FC Etier’s articles, stories, and reviews, and know how engaging a writer he is (not to mention an intriguing photographer, but that is a whole other… Read More Book Review: The Tourist Killer by FC Etier
If I were asked to describe this book in one word, it would be “inconsistent.” And quite unfortunately, this inconsistency takes away from a book that has a lot of potential. FBI Agent Jake Chase is investigating a curious terrorism case. Called at the scene of a bombing at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, Jake… Read More Book Review: Wrath, by Robert Santoro

It takes skill for a writer to perfect the blend of accessibility… Read More Book Review: Frame-Up by John F. Dobbyn
