MY BOOKS & STORIES



Praise for THE SUMMER I DIED


"A tense, bloody ride. I enjoyed it." — Brian Keene
"This book hooked me in hard. I blazed through it, loving every minute of it. 9 out of10!" — Creature Corner.com
"The Summer I Died is one wicked trip through man-made hell and I was glad I hitched a ride. Four out of five stars." — Insidious Reflections
"This book is everything you wish Hostel was!" --Horrorwatch.com
"This novel takes us deep into the bowels of hell where Thomas doesn't hold any punches." — SciFiHorrorBooks.com
"Keeps you in suspense and keeps the pages flying."
-- Horror-Web.com
"Thomas may very well be the next big name in extreme horror." — Hellnotes
"I loved this book...it makes an Eli Roth film look like Sesame Street." — OzHorrorScope.com
"A hell of a promising beginning from a hell of a writer." — WretchedAndViolent.com
"The Summer I Died isn't a movie. God damn though, if it doesn't remind me of a down and dirty drive in splatfest, 70's style." — HorrorDrive-In.com
"My muscles were actually sore the day after I finished reading this book because I was so tensed up." — Multiverse Reviews
"The most brutal story I've experienced since Poppy Brite's 'Exquisite Corpse.' When you think the author can't wring any more raw energy out of a situation, just turn the page and things spiral even deeper into anguished pain." — John Sunseri, editor/author
I have never flinched so much while reading a book. An excellent, nasty little book. I loved it!" - Desmond Reddick, Dread-Media.com (podcast 72)
