Banshee by Terry Maggert

Banshee by Terry Maggert is a science fiction and fantasy novel I was sent by the author to take a peek at. I intended to review it much sooner, but as you may read in the author’s note below, life is a very fickle thing. Initially what attracted me to this story was the focus on dragons and war. The promise of demons and monsters “sweeping across the planet in a wave of death” had my name written all over it. Who doesn’t love destruction and dragons? Book Description: Cities Fall. Dragons Rise. War Begins. The war for earth began in Hell. First came the earthquakes. Then came the floods. Finally, from the darkened mines, caves and pits, the creatures of our nightmares boiled forth to sweep across the planet in a wave of death. On the run and unprepared, mankind is not alone. We have dragons. Emerging from their slumber, giant dragons select riders to go to war. Their

The Numinous by Tristan Michie

The Numinous by Tristan Michie could most easily be classified as a science fiction-thriller, but it definitely has some horror and suspense elements thrown in. Although I made contact with Michie in a writing group, I was interested in reading The Numinous based on the premise, alone. One of my favorite films is Event Horizon and I couldn’t help but see the resemblance in the book’s concept. Book Description: Light years away from home drifts a cold, bleak ship; seemingly void of all life……. Markus Clyde woke from his Stasis in a lonely, dark room, dimly lit by the emergency power. With not another soul in sight. In his confused and disorientated state, he desperately tries to figure out what has happened, why was he here? Where are the rest of the crew? With power rapidly failing and disturbing events occurring throughout the ship, he finds himself in a race against time. To get the ship home……. Or die trying.

Alec Gillis’ Horror Film ‘Harbinger Down’

‘Aliens’, ‘AVP’ and ‘Tremors’ are just a few of the movies Alec Gillis and his special effects company Amalgamated Dynamics (StudioADI) have worked on. Now Gillis has added writer and director to his resume. Gillis’ film ‘Harbenger Down’ will be out later this year. In ‘Harbinger Down’ a group of graduate students are in route to the Bering Sea to study the effects of global warming on a pod of Orcas, when the ship’s crew dredges up the remains of a Soviet space wreckage containing the frozen remains of a cosmonaut. What the crew does not know is that the Russians had experimented with tarigrades, microscopic creatures that can withstand the effects of space. The creatures survived, but were effected by the radiation in space. Now the crew has been exposed to the mutated microscopic beings. ‘Harbinger Down’ stars ‘Aliens’ actor Lance Henriksen, Matt Winston (A.I. Artificial Intelligence), Giovonnie Samuels (Freedom Writers), Winston James Francis (Little Boy) and ‘Whiplash’ actress
