FROZEN BLOOD Reviews

Two more of 'em have been reeled in over the past couple of days, and I won't be throwing either of them back.

First up, angelmcc  (a very talented writer, the brains behind Wily Writers, and an all-around good person) kicks off her review with this catchy opening:

"Ghosts, guilt and gore! How can you go wrong with that combination? Add in an apocalyptic storm and some dysfunctional family members, and you've got a story that won't let you leave until it's had its say."

I told her that I wished "Ghosts, guilt and gore!" had been on my cover -- it sums up the book quite nicely. Read the rest of the review HERE.

Yesterday, Vince A. Liaguno posted his review on Dark Scribe Magazine. I sat quietly staring at my monitor, in a mild state of shock, for a long while after reading it. Intelligently written and full of incredibly kind praise, it's easily the book's best review yet:

"With shades of the 1987 film Dead of Winter, hints of Agatha Christie, and just a drop of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, Sutherland’s Frozen Blood successfully melds elements of the supernatural with the psychological to create an impressive hybrid with a distinctive old school literary vibe. That the author can take these diverse elements and make them work so well against the strangely incongruent end-of-days backdrop is the mark of a genuine craftsman, making Sutherland a talent to watch."

I'm a happy dude. Read the rest of the review HERE.
