Ekleipsis is comprised of five short stories; each one introducing a likely familiar, possibly relatable human reality then turns it inside out, bending and twisting until you feel uneasy at least, horrified at most.

There are many subgenre's of horror media and as a self proclaimed horror nut I am familiar with them all, almost always consumed with a slight indifference, walking away feeling like I was missing out on something because it was horrific enough; until now.

Tamel Wino has hit on perhaps the most unnerving type of horror..human nature. Each of the five stories an excellent representation of the worst side of humanity. With a strong narrative voice, excellent prose (every word exactly the right one, right where it should be to cause the most reaction from the reader). These stories burrow in to your subconscious leaving you feeling uncomfortable and leery of every person you see for the next several days, recalling the twisted ugliness that is present within certain humans.

Ekleipsis is perfect for any horror/thriller fan, especially those itching to test their immunity to respond to material designed to scare you. You won't regret picking up this book and you wont be able to put it down. Tamel Wino has definitely created something with the capability of becoming a cult classic.

I received an advance copy from booksirens so I could give my honest opinion and I'm grateful for the opportunity and the introduction to an author I will most certainly be following from now on. ( )

With a very interesting description, I got this book expecting something completely different. My bad! But what was inside, was a bunch of horrific stories about torture and violence, and one that goes a ton of different directions at once. Many different people, places, and things, the creepy cover is a perfect fit.

Check out my full review here!
