Review:

Everything in Blue November Storms works. Brian's lean and vivid prose propels us through a story that surprises and moves; his characters and their relationships with one another ground this otherwise fantastic and frightening story in human experience. The spell worked for me and my bet is that it will work for you, too. --Ray Garton

It's the depth of the novella I find most compelling. Beneath frenetic action are the underlying themes of sacrifice and destiny, as the author experiments with varying degrees of pressure to force his characters to their breaking-point... The ending will leave you stunned and shocked, but mostly it will make you think. Too few books do that anymore. --Hellnotes

The name of the work is Blue November Storms and it is quite simply the best nature run amok story that I have ever read... Brian's writing style is very reminiscent of King's as he creates very real, very true characters that we can all relate to. We have all known the guys that we share this story with, they are our friends, our family and when they hurt, we hurt and when they are scared, we are scared... I was totally transfixed by this story... I just could not put it down and I had to see how it all worked out. --Creature Corner

If you like horror, especially horror that focuses on character, then this is one you ll want to check out. --Amazing Stories
