The Sci-Fi Guys have posted a review of my short story collection from Graveside Tales Books:

“8.5 out of 10…I’ve read this collection five times in the last three months, and each time I’ve finished the book I’ve found myself stunned…a few collections have stunned me in the past, but every collection pales in comparison to Michael West’s Skull Full of Kisses…disturbingly brilliant!”

You can read the full review here.

Stephen Zimmer, of Seventh Star Press, has posted a very favorable of review of my short story collection, Skull Full of Kisses.  Here is an excerpt:

“Skull Full of Kisses is testimony to the presence of a very imaginative and skilled writer, one who is well underway on what promises to be a very outstanding career.”

Read the full review, and an interview with me, here!

My short story collection, Skull Full of Kisses, is now available as an Ebook via Smashwords.     For the low cost of $2.99,  you can download the complete work to your Kindle, Sony Reader, or computer and bring the nightmares with you whereever you may go!

If you don’t have an electronic reader, however, and you just love the feel of an actual book in your hands, fear not!  You can still find the traditional prin copy here for $12.95.
