BOOK REVIEW: Side by Side Reviews of TRUE CRIME by Samantha Kolesnik

"I seriously can't recommend this novella enough. Horror fans need this. It's a brutal and unflinching story about psychotic siblings that will leave you gasping for air and wanting to look away.

I’ll be honest, I was skeptical about going into Blood and Rain. I had never read a Glenn Rolfe novel and I’m not big on werewolves in any medium. Not that I don’t like them, I just haven’t cared much one way or the other. The Poltergeist Press reissue of this novel is what led me here, as I’m a fan of the publisher. 

I’m now a fan of...
