The Death Wish Game (2017) by Jonathan Chateau is a very unique horror novel about an interstate bus ride that turns deadly. Down on his luck passenger Rodney Corso and a group of similar passengers are diverted from their trip and become prey to a supernatural force of hunters avenging the slaughter of their people hundreds of years earlier. The story bogs down just a bit as it reaches its conclusion but is generally gripping. Strongly recommended. April 9, 2018

The Fix-It Shop (2017) by Friedrich Wilhelm is an engaging story about a small group of teenage boys living in a small Tennessee town who are arrested for crimes they did not commit. The events, which actually took place during the early 1980’s, are reported from the perspective of the youngest member of the group. The reader can’t help but be angered about the reasons behind the teens’ treatment. Strongly recommended. April 14, 2018
