PRAISE FOR OCTOBER:

"A creepy novel which doesn't rely on gratuitous blood and gore but rather world building to tell. And it's very effective." - Horror Reads

"Bastianelli has combined a love of those meaty horror novels of the 1980s, the Halloween season, small town America and the everyday “stuff” of boy’s lives into a heady brew chronicling strange goings which build in intensity and turn the novel into something that is more than autumn and Halloween and streets lined with piles of leaves" - Concatenation

"Much like many of Ray Bradbury’s works, Bastianelli takes the reader on a journey back in time to their own childhood and then rips the innocence of those memories away. That is the true terror of the novel. This novel is life. It is unrelenting in its approach and takes a small piece from the reader that can never be replaced." - A Reviewer Darkly

"This one will have you reaching for your favorite fall beverage and perhaps an extra light to light up that darkened corner of your room." - Erica Robyn Reads

Praise for SHADOW FLICKER:

"This is a gripping horror story from an author who deserves a wider audience." - Booklist

"It’s a dark, disturbing treat." Publishers Weekly

"An original, well written horror story, which is sure to scare you or creep you out at the very least! Very well written, with characters written in perfection for this twisted tale! Unique, fun, and chilling to the bone at times! Highly, highly recommend!" - Johnna Whetstone

"This book grabbed me from the start! It had a creepy atmosphere that fit the storyline very well. Must read!" - Naomi Downing

"Shadow Flicker is an intriguing, character driven story with one foot in Eco Horror and the other in Sci-Fi. I loved the descriptions of the island and getting to know it's residents. It is a story of love and desperation and well as greed and fear. The horror creeps up slowly until suddenly it comes crashing in like high tide nearer the end." - Irene Cole

"I read this book almost in one sitting (darn having to go to work) and was captivated right from the first sentence ... This is my first book I’ve read by the author, but it will definitely not be my last." - Michelle Donaldson

"A book that's a blend of genres, horror, mystery, sci-fi and supernatural it was a book I enjoyed to the fullest... This really is a book with a fresh and unique plot. Gregory Bastianelli has done some fantastic world building to make the reader feel like they are transported to Kidney Island with the strange things that are going on." - SharonBeyondTheBooks
