There is no room for chaff in this mill  Anderson's writing is his own, but you could make comparisons to H.P. Lovecraft in his love for detail and the slowly mounting terror in his stories. There is also a good deal of science fiction in the mix that might make one think of Ray Bradbury for the humanity and Michael Crichton for the tech end of things. The opening story 'The Further We Soar Into Madness' demonstrates this mesh quite well. -Brian J. Lewis, \u003ci\u003eHorror Review\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Full of emotion and characters that mean something, there is more to these tales than just the novelty splat of blood and spooky ghosts that you'd expect from horror, and the impeccably written plot to each one stretches your mind to the capability of these worlds and true terror found within humans. -Chloe Magic, \u003ci\u003echloeemagic.wordpress.com\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On The Gore Hole \u003cbr\u003e I enjoyed Jordan Anderson's story, which was reminiscent of tales like SK's 'It, ' and J.J.

The slow build of kids exploring an unknown terror will always reel me in... -Chris Carmen, \u003ci\u003eFiction on the Web\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On Angelic Tendencies \u003cbr\u003e A very well written story that sees the world through the complicated and  inexplicable] view point of a child, a challenge to any writer.

A young employee of a tech firm discovers strange abilities in the wake of losing his virginity.

A boy's patience is tested and his faith is challenged as he awaits prophecy under the guidance of his mother's righteous fervor.
