Psychic Teenage Bloodbath
By Carl John Lee
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Susan Ward is in a coma. She’s been there for one year, ever since the accident.
She can’t speak. She can’t move. She can’t even close her eyes.
Unable to sleep, Susan has gone quite mad. But, deep within the recesses of her mind, she’s discovered a new and frightening set of skills.
And now, one year later, Susan will use these skills for one single-minded, blood-soaked purpose — REVENGE.
From the sadistic mind of Carl John Lee, author of Horror House of Perversion, comes a nightmarish tale of vengeance and brutal, stomach-churning violence.
PSYCHIC TEENAGE BLOODBATH.
Don’t let her inside your mind.
This is only the second extreme horror/splatter punk I’ve read and I liked this. Proper horror scenes blood , guts and more blood. Brutal till the last minute. I guess bullying really isn’t a good idea you never know what’s coming to get you back. A quick I want to say fun read but maybe fun isn’t the right word 🤣
In the original stories, Hera is vilified, portrayed as unreasonably vengeful, spiteful even. In this version, we can see her motivations. She can’t possibly direct her revenge on her monarch - that would endanger her position and Zeus would deal with her like all those who acted against him.
Hera is complicated woman, and she acts in the only way she knows how to. Her anger has centuries to mature and grow, and there’s a real sense of the passage of time. It’s just that that passage is pretty meaningless to a God!
This novel doesn’t excuse Hera’s behaviour, but it certainly gives the reasons for it. I love Greek mythology, and Jennifer Saints retellings have been excellent. This is another great addition to the series.

A woman wakes up to realise that she’s being held captive by a man - and she has to work out how she’ll escape.
Over the course of the story, we learn who she is, why she’s captive in a cellar and who’s holding her there. The fact that the cellar is in complete darkness made my imagination run wild - as well as the imagination of the main character! What had she done? Was this revenge? Or something even more sinister?
This is a claustrophobic read and I was right there in the cellar with the woman. They all seem to be thoroughly unreliable characters: no one seems to be telling the truth. I felt that my job as the reader, was to try and detect who was lying the least!
It’s a sad story with some dark, violent themes. This novel was a really good tale, executed really well.
