ABOUT OUT-OF-PRINT BOOKS

All the crazy prices on my out-of-print books are set by third party sellers, not me. I don't make any money on them, and there's no reason you should buy them. That's because all my out-of-print writing guides have been revised, retitled, and expanded as brand-new editions.

How to Write Realistic Characters (2015), How to Write Realistic Men (2015), and How to Write Realistic Women (2017) are now all in one book as Writing Heroes and Villains.

How to Write Monsters, Aliens, and Fantasy Creatures (2016) is now Writing Monsters and Maniacs.

How to Write Zombies and Post-Apocalyptic Fiction (2016) is now Writing Apocalypse & Survival, with more focus given to natural disasters and non-zombie apocalypses, including two new plot templates.

How to Start Your Novel (2016) is now Writing Dynamite Story Hooks. It's been greatly expanded but is missing the case studies from How to Start Your Novel, so that would be the only reason to pick up a copy of the old version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Twisted!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2015

If you like horror, you will love this book. I think Jackson Dean Chase outdid himself on this one. All the stories are about young girls and they all keep you on the edge of your seat. The scary poems in-between the short stories are icing on the cake. Jackson does an excellant job of fleshing out each character in the best (gory) way. I couldn't put it down until I finished it. As always the endings of each story are so twisted you would never guess them yet they fit the story perfectly. My favorite story was the one about bullying. This is a different way of looking at bullying but makes a lot of sense. Jackson is the best horror author out there. Don't hesitate to buy Gore Girls. You will love!

4.0 out of 5 stars Gore Girls
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2016
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review. I was just reading through some of the other reviews, and one phrase that resonated with me was "a nasty sense of humor". These are stories about girls who have had enough of the bullying and peer pressure, and have decided to do something about it, no matter what. The 'nasty sense of humor' keeps them from becoming stories of tremendous psychological horror. All in all, a very good book to introduce teens to gory horror fiction. The poetry is quite thought provoking, as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Great Book!
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2015
Wow. Just Wow. This book totally caught me by surprise. It's full of dark poetry and dark short stories that make my black little heart sneer in delight. Jackson Dean Chase is definitely on my radar as an author to keep an eye on in the future.

Each story is full of pain and horror. At the end of the first story, I actually gasped out loud (and may have uttered my favorite F word) to the point where my husband asked what was wrong. He thought I had seen a spider or something! The best part is that this happened several other times while reading this book!

His stories are from the perspective of teen girls. I'm not talking the pretty girls in school either. I'm talking every girl who felt like she might not be the most popular girl in school. The girl who sat alone at lunch or had a small group of friends that she was comfortable-ish around. How this author can do such an amazing job of narrating from that point of view is beyond me. He perfectly captures the feelings of being that angst ridden, awkward teen girl. I know because I was that girl.

The stories and poems in Gore Girls, had I found them at 15, I would have thought they had been written either by or for me. Disturbingly enough, some of them can still be related to as an adult. Each story has its own message or purpose and damn, is this guy twisted.

I enjoyed every single minute of Gore Girls. So much so that I read all of his other books right afterwards. Trust me when I say the rest of his books are just as crazy good. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever felt like they might not have fit in at some point in their life.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The receipt of this book did not imply or guarantee a favorable review, nor did it influence my opinion of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for anyone who likes horror
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2015
This was quite an interesting book by Jackson Dean Chase. It is a perfect read for anyone who likes horror. There are several poems and short stories, a little bit of something for everyone. There are stories about zombies, aliens and cannibalism. I liked several of the poems and it would be hard to pick a favorite but I would select “A Dark and Stormy Night”. I also liked some of the zombie ones but “Worms Ate Your Face” may make you shiver. While the stories are short, they are well written and there is enough to have your imagination run wild.

When I read something, I like being surprised by the ending. This happened in “The Gift of Flesh”. I never read a love story like this, Martin and Heather were truly in love. I thought I knew what would happen but I didn’t. If you like horror, you won’t be disappointed in anything in this book. Without giving too much away, if you are a zombie fan like me, then “My Own Decisions” is for you, too bad Lisa was so curious. “A Bad Person” may have you checking the ingredients in your drink. “I Melt With You” taught some kids not to be too curious but it had me rooting for the characters.

Sometimes we may think of monsters or scary things but Jackson Dean Chase takes it a step further and puts his thoughts on paper for our enjoyment. I received a free copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.

Not Kindle Unlimited, received it via one of those here are some free books hope you take the time to review it. Actually aware of this writer, read Worms Ate Your Face {poetry collection} and quite a few of his other works, and he never has been 'right' but he's been entertaining and sometimes amusing and sometimes gross, but at least never boring.At one time had quite a few on ku but don't think any or many now.Just check out his writer page on amazon already.Some of the others got through freebies too or else ku.

Once again Jackson Dean Chase gives us a wonderful dose of horror as seen through the eyes of a teenage girl, either the victim or in some cases the perpetrator. The final story about the end of the world and a love obsessed girl is brilliant.
