Hades’ Disciples Is “One Hell of a Story!”

Hades Disciples Kindle

I Smell Sheep has just posted a great new 5-Star…er, Sheep review of my new novel, The Legacy of the Gods Book Two: Hades’ Disciples.

Here is a bit of what they had to say:

“This is urban fantasy that takes creatures of myth and legends and stirs in alien mythology, with the added touch of Lovecraftian horror, to make one hell of a story to read. I cannot wait for the third book in series, Zeus’ Warriors (Legacy of the Gods, Book 3), and the satisfying conclusion I know Mr. West will bring to the readers.”

Here’s a bit of what they had to say:

“A great story that held me, it is dark fantasy tipping close to the edge of pure horror. Michael West brought a tale worthy of Lovecraft to the 21st century, making it real and natural, bringing the unnatural brimming beneath the surface up from the depths.”

Hades’ Disciples “is Done Brilliantly!”

Hades Disciples Kindle

Michael Smith, of the Las Vegas Guardian, just posted a wonderful new review of the second novel in my Legacy of the Gods series, Hades’ Disciples.  Here’s a bit of what he had to say:

“Author Michael West continues the story of the first Legacy of the Gods and takes the horror to another level. Introducing a twist in this tale of a battle to allow these shape shifting creatures to take over the world from mankind. This scribe, who also terrified fans with his tales of terror set in Indiana and his short stories, cranks things up with Hades’ Disciples. West writes action that cracks and his stories have a pace that never drags, along with these attributes, his characters are well drawn and his dialogue never hits a false note…Hades’ Disciples is a cracking read and earns a solid five star rating. Do not miss this one, if you are a fan of horror/science fiction and fantasy.“

Spook House: “a Fun Story About Big Bad Monsters!”

SpookHouseKindle-1

Pustule Oozings posted a wonderful new review of my last Harmony, Indiana novel, Spook House.  Here’s a bit of what they had to say:

“(Michael West writes with) butter-smooth prose and a razor-keen sense of how to draw out suspense. I found a story that pulled me along the shoot like a greased up pig and plenty of greasy-grimy people guts decorating the scenery. I even found myself caring about the main characters a bit and was quite impressed at how whole and solid he makes this little slice of Indiana feel. I haven’t gotten this strong of a sense of the personality of place in a while. Most importantly, I had fun. That’s all that matters here.”

They even compare me to the great AC/DC

“Michael West doesn’t change anything about horror fiction any more than those limeys changed Rock N’ Roll, but only a soulless bastard doesn’t get excited when they here that introductory clang of Hell’s Bells.”

Wide Game Kindle

Author / reviewer Sheila Deeth just posted a wonderful new review of my first Harmony, Indiananovel, The Wide Game.  Here is a bit of what she had to say:

“5 Stars! There’s something seriously scary about The Wide Game…I enjoyed the whole story, but I truly loved the ending; that touch of thought-provoking mystery that raises a tale above its genre and makes it something special.”
