In this book we follow Gary a down on his luck film maker doing whatever it takes to pursue his love for the craft. This story hits the gas and never lets up till the final page. Plenty of bloody gory scenes occur as Gary gets a job as a director of snuff films and his life begins to unravel. This is horror done in all the right ways.

This book started strong, and even though I'm not the biggest fan of gory stuff it remained promissing, even with the subtle hints at paranormal activities and satanic rituals. I wouldn't have minded the whole "satanic cult killers" not even "sacrifice evil souls to please Satan and bring forth the end of the world". But, unfortunately, none of those things happened.
Our morally corrupted protagonist found himself wishing to destroy his evil boss, even though it was clear that he was CORRUPTED from the very beggining. He could have spiraled deeper into those nasty ideals of his. We could have found him slowlly getting POSSESSED by the evil spirits that plague his work... Many things could have happened, and unfortunately none did in terms of shocking twists or unconvecional endings. I would have killed to see the book end when Gary showered after his last film with Dany, not because he felt dirty but because he felt calm and ready to start again.
Touching something as important as a human's corrupted nature just to end the easy way: repentance and the opening of a new path takes quite a lot from this book.
Despite all of that, the book was still good enough to make me feel the horror behind the scenes.

This is a wild one. It starts out like an extreme horror nightmare, morphs into a religious horror nightmare, throws in a pandemic and from there it just blows you away. And this all in a novella length story. It’s well written with great characters and enough fun to not take itself too seriously. Recommended.

Snuff Films, Grisly Murders, and Terrifying Trips Down the Rabbit Hole!

At Midnight We Possess the Damned is a quick thrill ride adventure chock full of disturbing acts of violence all while our main character, “Lee Revok” attempts to discover exactly how deep he is willing to travel within a secret (and deadly) organization.

The story places you very quickly in the middle of the action and lets you make decisions along with the narrator. You’re watching a beautiful train wreck unfold and you cannot look away. As the mystery aspect starts to be revealed, I found myself truly unable to look away. It’s just done very well and I think I might be desperate for more information on this world. We get left in a place where there could be follow-ups and I’d be very happy.

There are also some disturbing scenes and sequences that I think horror fans are going to love too. It’s a dark story bordering on splatterpunk (if it already isn’t classified as such), so this could be something to check out if you need to. I didn’t know what (or who) to trust by the end of it, but it made the final scenes breathtaking to read!

Don’t miss this story, it’s truly something readers will love!!

This is perfect for fans of David Sodergren, Brian Smith, and Craig DiLouie!

What happens when you take your passion too far? This book does a great job of exploring the line between passion and obsession. It’s a riveting journey, I found myself constantly eager for what would happen next. A truly thrilling novella, that has so much action and depth despite its size. I enjoyed every second on the edge of my seat.
