No, this isn’t a book review but my personal opinion of the actual color blue.

Book Reviews are NOT for Authors, But…
If you’ve been anywhere within shouting distance for the past few months, you might know that CHARWOOD, my eco Jewish folk horror novel from Aggadah Try It, is finally out in the world! While this should be the time where I constantly refresh my browser to check reviews, I won’t be doing that. In fact, I won’t be reading hardly any of them at all.
And I’ll tell you why…
THE BEST OF THE HORROR ZINE: THE MIDDLE YEARS (Book Review)
-Edited by Jeani Rector and Dean H. Wild
While “best” is of course a subjective term, the stories Jeani Rector and Dean H. Wild handpicked as their favorites in THE BEST OF THE HORROR ZINE: THE MIDDLE YEARS did—more often than not—overlap with my own warped personal tastes.
The editors did a great job including newer indie authors I’d never heard of alongside seasoned veterans of the genre and even a few well-known names. And the stories cover pretty much all the horror bases from thriller to cozy to bizarro to splatterpunk.
So, if you’re hungry for a variety of diverse yet quality horror dishes, I can think of few better literary buffets than THE HORROR ZINE.
The Case for 5-Star Ratings
Remember back in school when the teacher would give you one of three grades on a test: 100%, 80%, or failing?
Yeah, me neither. But that’s exactly what we authors and readers are up against with the 5-star rating system common to Amazon, Goodreads, and elsewhere.

Tearing Down the Author-Reader Wall
I’m not just your seventeenth favorite horror author, I’m also a performing musician (or was, before the coronapocalypse).
