Mark Tanner has OCD, so to say he's bothered by a bit of blood where it doesn't belong, would be putting it mildly.
He works at a clothing store called House of Haiti and is justifiably disturbed when he discovers one of the store mannequins bleeding from the crotch. As if that's not bad enough, when he gets home, he discovers he's bleeding from the same general area.
From the wildly active imagination of one of Australia's modern day horror masters comes comes this twisted little tale that is over way too soon.
Published by HodgePodge Press, Mutability of the Flesh, is available now for the Kindle. If you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited, you can read this one at no additional charge and if you are an Amazon Prime member you can read it for free through the Kindle Owner's Lending Library as your monthly selection.

Review copy
Australia is home to a robust community of horror writers and Matthew Tait is making his mark among them and in the overall world of the horror genre. His previous works include a piece on a Heaven's Gate type cult called, Slander Hall, and Dark Meridian, book one of a mysteroius house involving aliens and more. Both worth checking out.
Matthew's newest novel, Davey Ribbon begins forty-five years ago, when farmer, Reginald Avery molests and kills eleven-year-old Sarah Capeshaw. Thirteen-year-old David Ribera has the misfortune to stumble upon the crime scene. Davey is retarded as they would say all those years ago. His mother owns a shop in town where she makes ribbons which Davey wears on his belt leading to the nickname Davey Ribbon. By the end of the encounter Davey is left for dead.
During the decades that follow, the story of Davey Ribbon becomes an urban legend. Something told at slumber parties and around campfires in the community of Cyclone Cove, a place where radical Christians and Azarcheal Sytems Conglomerate seem to be lead by different aspects of Davey' s spirit.
Then there's Norman Perks, who works to keep the tale alive. "Norman did not have friends. He was, after all, a writer. An observer and not a participant. Behind the curtain, so-to-speak. To comingle with the actors on the stage would be a deceit on his part. He wasn't a very good actor, so they would cotton on immediately. No, better to do what the muse wanted of him: that was, to sketch in story-form the tales of Cyclone Cove. To catalogue, to coerce, and to sometimes manipulate."
In a plot as tangled as the ribbons flowing from Davey Ribbon's hands, Matthew Tait takes the reader on a roller coaster ride through the secrets of Cyclone Cove. All will be revealed by the story's climatic end. I believe Davey Ribbon Is Matthew Tait' s best work to date, a page-turner from start to finish.
From HodgePodge Press, Davey Ribbon Is available now in paperback and for the Kindle through Amazon.com. Plus, right now, if you're a member of Amazon Prime, you can borrow it for FREE through the Kindle Owners' Lending Library.

Backstory:
Cedar Jarrell who is the only survivor from a massacre that took place at Slander Hall has decided to revisit the place with some friends. They are curious about the rumors they have heard with the place being haunted and they would like to get some documentation of it.
But things do not go as planned as when they step foot onto the property "something" attacks one of the friends. Cedar and company still push onward as they figure if they do not find what they want with the hauntings that they will never complete their task. Once they enter Slander Hall though the ghosts have other ideas and to survive the haunting the friends will need to stick together through it all.
That is about all I can give on a taste without giving away spoilers and if you want to know more than you will need to read the book!
Thoughts:
This was my first time reading this author and I was impressed with how quick I was pulled into the story! The story was fast paced and held me in suspense as I wanted to know what was going to happen next!
The story is really short though and there are two more stories that lie within these pages as well which also was a nice surprising read. I do have a couple or so more kindle books by this author and looking forward to reading more books by him. Giving this book four "Haunted Horror" stars!… (més)
