WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
"After reading horror novel NOTHING MEN last month, I’ve been plagued by the events which unfolded within the work of fiction. A story that seemed so real that it still unnerves me to this day. For me, this is a sure sign of an author with tremendous talent, who’s writing style captures the reader’s imagination like nothing I’ve read before." -- Horror Cult Films
"'Nothing Men' made me think about the like of Herschell Gordon Lewis, Tobe Hooper, and prompted flashbacks of films like 'The Wicker Man' and 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre.' --Cinema Crazed
"Fighting my gag reflex, I can say that I really enjoyed this book. It's not something I would ever recommend to, say, my mom, or, like, my fellow PTA members, but for those of you who like a straight-up hardcore horror story, you will find a lot to like here." -- The Horror Honeys
"In this modern age of so many sub-sub-sub genres and specialties, it was a real treat to pick this up and find it to be a true horror tale in the classic sense. Mr Brunell perfectly captured the contrast of idyllic and terrifying, in both his settings and his portrayal of community and family values. You'll never plan your family vacation the same way again." -- Amazon Reviewer on "Nothing Men"
"I've given it much thought and there's no way to review the plot and content of this story without giving something away. Trust me, you don't want me to do that. So I will just comment that hands down, this is my favorite short story from this writer to date. When an author can create believable imagery for what should be an unbelievable scenario, when scenes are vividly described for a reader without being so over the top that it all becomes insulting or creates a lazy brained reader, there's no way the story can lose. My disturbed but gleeful 'that was a JACKED UP story' gut response merits 5 stars." -- Amazon Reviewer on "Candy"
"This caught my attention for the word 'go.' It was a quick and easy read and it made me glad that I do not mess with the supernatural world...lol. The only issue I have is that it wasn't long enough! I know it is a short story but before I knew it, I was finished and I don't mean that in a bad way. Mr. Brunell does such an amazing job that I wanted him to continue with the story." -- Amazon Reviewer on "A Dead Friend"
​
"Doug Brunell is back with his most traumatic work yet. ... Black Devil Spine is the most frightening thing I've ever read and puts even the most violent horror movie to shame. ... This is a horror novel like no other and is a journey of discovery to the darkest depths of the depraved soul rather than a novel that can be 'enjoyed' in the traditional sense. You have been warned!" HorrorCultFilms
