Feckless: Tales of Supernatural, Paranormal, and Downright Presumptuous Ilk Edited by Ellen C. Maze
Vampires, Werewolves, and Ghosts, oh my!
Meet
a woman who can kill you with a single touch, a man who is friends with
Death and a dying dragon, an alien preacher, a very special magician, a
man who just can’t leave his ex alone, a woman who loves her husband
despite his being possessed, a serial killer who gets exactly what he
deserves, and more.
Feckless
was put together by Ellen Maze, Christian vampire author
extraordinaire, and many of the stories are of her own creation, which
is a definite plus for the book.
Like
most short story collections, there are some pieces in this volume that
you’ll enjoy more than others, but I believe there is enough good stuff
here to satisfy any horror fan.
The Judging: Book 1 of The Corescu Chronicles by Ellen C. Maze
Fabulously frightening! Insanely imaginative!
Hope
Brannen has just met Mark Corescu, the man of her dreams. He’s
handsome, charming, and he’s a doctor! He’s also a vampire. Not to
worry, though. This vampire only sucks the blood of evil people because
he believes he’s doing God’s will by punishing them for their sins. Hope
and her pastor-friend, Tony, have some questions, though. Can murder
ever be within God’s will? Is a vampire supposed to judge humanity’s
sins? Or is Dr. Corescu simply rationalizing his need to kill?
Things
heat up when Corescu starts hearing voices in his head and begins to
remember who he was before he became a vampire. In the midst of all
this, a certain reporter is beginning to ask questions and the doctor’s
servants are starting to rebel.
Never Ceese by Sue Dent
Can werewolves and vampires be saved? That’s the question in Sue Dent’s novel, Never Ceese.
This is a Christian fantasy novel
about a werewolf named Ceese and a vampire named Richard, who are both
on a mission to break the curse of what they are and regain their
salvation. It’s captivating, edgy, humorous, and realistic – the perfect
combination of light and dark. I especially appreciated the tangibility
of each of the characters. They are dynamic and memorable and Sue has a
wonderful gift for taking us inside each of their minds to make us feel
what they feel.
Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider by Ellen C. Maze
God’s Word is potent and His followers are powerful!
Meet Beth Rider. She writes Christian vampire novels. After reading her latest publication, The Judging, real vampires are being inspired toward salvation. The problem is that
the vampire hierarchy doesn’t appreciate so many of their underlings
turning to “Beth Rider’s” God. Marking Beth as an enemy of the
Brotherhood, the hierarchy orders that she, and all those vampires who
are turning toward God because of her, be caught, tortured, and
eliminated. Now the chase is on as Beth and her new bloodthirsty friends
must trust God for their very survival.
Winter by Keven Newsome
What’s your spiritual gift?
Winter Maessen’s is prophecy, even if she isn’t the most mature Christian yet.
Winter
is a new believer and a new college student attending a small Christian
university. God directly told her to go to this school shortly after
she was saved because He has a mission for her – to stop a serial
killer.
