Graphic novel thriller...



Bone Chiller
By R. M. Heske
Publisher: Heske Horror
Published: 2009
ISBN: 978-1427635259
Pages: 140


This book is like nothing I have ever read before. It is a graphic novel collection of short stories that grabbed my attention from the very first page. It was suspenseful with twist and turns making it impossible for me to stop reading it once I opened it.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this thriller which gave me a glimpse into the minds of dark individuals who could very well be a neighbor or co-worker. The stories are quick reads with various topics-- child abuse, rape, murder and serial killers—and are easy to follow along. Some of the subjects are difficult to digest and may make some readers uncomfortable or frightened. This may be because the stories and characters are so very real. Each story can stand alone but they blend very well together. I am not used to reading books written in this form so I must admit I did have to reread some parts of the stories. However, that is not a reflection on Mr. Heske’s talented storytelling ability.

The art work is simply amazing and coupled with Mr. Heske’s storytelling ability, makes for an incredible read. If you are a fan of horror books, this is the book for you. After reading this book, I look forward to reading another one.

  1. Stacey -

    Thank you for the kind comments on my book, BONE CHILLER. I am glad you enjoyed it and took the time to review it on your site and on Amazon.

    My stories of "suburban murder and malice" make my wife very uneasy! In fact, I am a loving husband and father of two little girls - so the graphic novels let me unveil my dark side.

    Just wanted to let your readers know they can check out excerpts of the book on myebook.com and wowio.com (digital copy), and on my website at www.coldbloodedchillers.com.

    Good luck on your publishing journey. Keep writing, and keep having faith in yourself.

    All the best,

    Bob Heske
