I love this fabulous cover of Dead is Dead But Not Always by Eddie Generous. The bright colors and simple content draws me into the horror that is to come.

After I sent Eddie Generous the review links and he stopped in to check us out, he sent me this fabulous wrap around cover that he did himself, and it helps explain the horror cover.
I LOVE IT EVEN MORE!
MY REVIEW
Whether above ground or below ground, Eddie Generous has written a collection of hair raising, blood curdling glimpses into his world of horror. I think it is very hard to write short stories and novellas, but he did a fantastic job creeping me out. An overall rating:
3 Stars
The Howl: A howling wind, blood sacrifice, and the spiders rule in this creepy tale that left me confused and glad it was short. 2 Stars
Of The Knoll: Reaping what he sowed turns Justin’s vacation into a trip to hell and back, and just when he thought he was safe. 3 Stars
We, in the dark, together, forever: I laughed at him turning the light switch off and running for the bed, but I sure wasn’t laughing when his dreams became reality and evil was let loose. 3 Stars
Slithering: The title is so appropriate, and I love this twisted, creepy love story. 4 Stars
The Weight of Solitude, the Pressure of Conscience: Think twice before you make that reckless move on the highway. because your mind will not let you forget, haunting you forever. 4 Stars
Dead Lake: Ya don’t want to swim in Dead Lake and I found out why, but thinking I know how this will end doesn’t make it any less creepy. 3 Stars
Over the fields and through the Woods: I loved this twisted tale of a life of despair and what could happen when pushed to your limits and you need a helping hand. 4 Stars

GOODREADS BLURB
Dead is Dead, but Not Always is the first solo collection from Canadian author Eddie Generous. The mountain winds Howl and blood flows to appease, tradition runs deep and transforms the skin for the sake of togetherness, buried beneath the soil is a book to bridge the eternal dark with the light of life, God’s way is with a hiss but Satan’s way is with a kiss, in the Arctic only the bears can hear your screams, when it’s your time go the lake will tell you, and being a kid ain’t easy when the natural and supernatural collide to peel the layers from your back. From dread to thriller to cosmic, the seven novelettes collected here meld into one bone-jarringly bleak outing, bound to rattle cores and test readers’ nerves.

Really nice use of colour on the cover and it’s different to see this in the horror genre.
I know. Ususally they are grim and gruesome, which I do love. LOL
I like the cover too, Sherry. Curious about these stories.
Covers are very important to me, which you already know. 🙂 I will be curious to see how he progresses in his writing.
The full cover is amazing. These stories sound properly chilling.
Yes, they were. This is his first anthology alone, but I first met him when he was in the Hardened Hearts anthology, which I included the link above. He was in great company.
