Taylor's novella SINKHOLE is another fine look at the natural world gone mad--mad, as in angry at us, the failed custodians. A worthy addition to the emerging field of eco-horror." - Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger and The Deep"Sinkhole is your apocalyptic summer read." - Fangoria"Not for the faint of heart...Taylor builds both suspense and atmosphere well, with vivid descriptions and heated dialogue that hold tension until just the right moment. Shift[s] the perspective of what a horror novel really has the potential to be...an intelligent and terrifying triumph." - Readers' Favorite"A very fast-paced, short and punchy adventure horror novel...[it] has an outstanding change of direction halfway through and hurtles toward a controlled but satisfying finish. You will easily read [it] without drawing much of a breath or pause." - Horror DNA"Sinkhole should be part of every horror fan's TBR pile. Taylor masterfully weaves a lightning fast tale that's ostensibly about an apocalyptic situation but has oh so much more going on." - Medium.com"A fast-paced apocalyptic nightmare." - Grit Daily"This was an engaging and fast paced story...Taylor's prose reminded me of Daphne du Maurier's "The Birds" with its oppressive atmosphere and the feeling of dread." - StudioHNHPraise for The Haunting of Cabin Green:"Grief is the driving force in The Haunting of Cabin Green. Taylor weaves a haunting tale of a man who can't be sure if the desolate cabin he's staying in is full of ghosts or if his mind is playing tricks on him." - Popsugar, The 13 Most Chilling Horror Books of 2018"I thought this would be a simple ghost story like Paranormal Activity. It wasn't. Filled with so much grief and craziness that I might need therapy." - BoredPanda"I will never look at puzzles the same way again. The one is DARK. If you're looking for a happy ending or a more humorous take on the genre, look elsewhere." - Stephanie Rabig, Author of Sink or Swim: The Search for Aveline"Polarizing and paralyzing." - Medium.com"Slow-burn claustrophobia." - Grit Daily"Unique... the author depicts the grieving process amazingly well. The story is claustrophobic... and what an ending. All of the flashbacks and delusions suddenly make sense... [it's a] sucker punch." - HorrorTalk.com"A spectacular read...absolutely gripping. I couldn't force myself to put it down. Taylor did an excellent and meticulous job creating this story, forming imagery...invoking real emotion on the part of the reader." - The Horror Report"Takes [the] standard genre template and turns it upside-down...with a literary approach that combines modern and mid-twentieth century techniques." - Inquisitr, The Best Horror Books of 2018
