My Favorite Reads of 2015!

Hey guys!

I was going to complain about 2015 being a shitty year overall, but this was the year I got my first book published AND I went to Bizarro Con! So, I can say 2015 was shitty 11 out 12 months.

I'm not going to do a big recap on the year. Instead, I'll pick my top reads of the year.

These are not necessarily the best books released in 2015, but the best books I've read this year. And if you click on the titles, you too can feast your eyes on these exquisite books. After you buy them.

And, if you can, leave a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. It helps authors. It helps A LOT.

Oh yeah, all the lists are in alphabetical order. And they are all top 6s, instead of top 5s or top 10s. Because 6 is a nice number.

Let's get to it :)))

First up, the top 6 books released in 2015 which I haven't read yet, but am most excited about reading in 2016:

Michael Cisco's Animal Money

John Skipp's The Art Of Horrible People

Carlton Mellick III's Bio Melt

Max Booth III's How To Successfully Kidnap Strangers

Michael J. Seidlinger's The Strangest

Gabino Iglesias' Zero Saints

Now, my top 6 favorite collections/anthologies I've read this year:


Ecstatic Inferno, by Autumn Christian

The Four Gentleman Of The Apocalypse, by G.Arthur Brown, Dustin Reade, Douglas Hackle and S.T. Cartledge

I'll Fuck Anything That Moves and Stephen Hawking, by Violet LeVoit

In the Fishbowl, We Bleed, by Jeremy C. Shipp

Please Do Not Shoot Me In The Face, by Bradley Sands

Underlaid Overlaid, by Jordan Krall

And, finally, the top 6 novels that I read in 2015:


A Choir of Ill Children, by Tom Piccirilli

A God Of Hungry Walls, by Garrett Cook

I Will Rot Without You, by Danger Slater

Long-Form Religious Porn, by Laura Lee Bahr

Musclebound Mario, by Kevin L. Donihe

Teeth and Tongue Landscape, by Carlton Mellick III

That's it, guys. Hope 2016 doesn't suck for you.

Review copies!

Oh, hi. Didn't see you guys there.
How are you? How is your day? Just remember I love you, ok? You're as special as a Jeremy Shipp metaphor.
Now, here's the deal: I know you love me too. I remember the time you spent on your dad's old tool shed.
I'm sure you remember too.
So, in honor of those magical summer moments, I'm offering 5 review copies of my book BENJAMIN to the first five people who ask for it. PDF or Mobi, it's your choice!
All I ask is an honest review. Even if you hate it, a 1-star review would make me as happy as a 5-star one.
Well, not as happy, but every review helps.
So, who wants it? Just give me a heads up on Facebook or Goodreads, and the copy is yours!
