Flash Fiction Video Trailer

Here's the video trailer I made for the nine flash fiction horror stories I've written...

 

5-Star Review for THE COMING


A nice review posted on THE COMING's Smashwords page: 

Review by: Carl Amoscato on May 22, 2013:  "This is the second book I've read by Chuck Grossart, and I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the first one!  His imagination is incredible.  The twists and turns The Coming takes are surprising, but not so out there that you lose the suspension of disbelief, and that's a hard line for a lot of authors to find.

The story moves along at a fast pace, but with lots of little telling details to flesh out the characters, as though everything extraneous has been trimmed away to leave only the elements that are necessary.  I'm looking forward to more from Mr. Grossart!"

First 5-Star Review for "Burial Ground"!



From James M. M. Baldwin, posted on Burial Ground's Smashwords page: 

Review by: James M. M. Baldwin on April 30, 2013:

"I’m glad I read Chuck Grossart’s “Burial Ground” in the middle of the day surrounded by living people.  If I had read this alone in the middle of the night I would have found myself looking over my shoulder in a state of anxiety.  Chuck does a great job portraying the fear of being alone in a dark unfamiliar place.  Not only that, he brings it to a climax that is the basis of all human terror.  I would highly recommend this frightening tale of a young man’s journey into the dark confines of a house whose occupant is not of this realm."

Wow!  Thanks, Jim!

Another 5-Star Review for THE MENGELE EFFECT!




From Carl Amoscato, posted on THE MENGELE EFFECT's Smashwords page: 

Review by: Carl Amoscato on April 18, 2013:  "The Mengele Effect is a fantastic read! It starts out fast, and the pace and tension ratchet up and up until the climax, with a nice little twist to bring you gently back down at the end. It's a horror story, but it's also got a good dose of techno/military thriller in it, too, and Mr. Grossart does a great job of keeping the mix just right. If you're looking for a good tale told well, I recommend it highly."

Thanks, Carl!

"Burial Ground" Available for Download!

My new horror short story, "Burial Ground", is available for purchase at Smashwords.com! 

On a dark Halloween night in 1980, three high school friends in search of mischief decide to enter a neighbor's home, sitting empty and silent, waiting for its owners to return from an extended stay in the mountains.

The house, they say, is haunted.

What follows shakes their beliefs to the bone, and reveals the horrid secret which dwells beneath.

Based on a true story.

"Reflections" Available for Download!

My new horror short story, "Reflections", is available for purchase at Smashwords.com! 

"After her family moves into an old farmhouse outside of Twin Creek, Nebraska, Anna is enchanted by a rustic cheval mirror her mother finds in the attic, covered by a dusty patchwork quilt.  Behind the cloudy glass surface, she imagines another world, an exact copy of her own, separated only by a thin wall of glass.  An impenetrable barrier, she believes, until late one night a few days after her ninth birthday, when the antique mirror—and that which dwells within—reveals its true nature."

Awesome 5-Star Review for THE MENGELE EFFECT!

It's reviews like this that really make a rookie writer (like me) do a HAPPY DANCE (like Snoopy)!

From Mr. Scott Crowder, posted on THE MENGELE EFFECT's Smashwords page:

Review by: Scott Crowder on March 29, 2013:

"The Mengele Effect is a TNT-fueled juggernaut of a novel that barrels along at a breakneck pace, a pace so fool-hearty that , as you read it, you’re sure Mr. Grossart will lose control at any moment and send it hurtling into the nearest train station full of innocent bystanders, killing them all and maybe their next-of-kin too, just for good measure. Instead, he keeps this monstrosity on track with a deft touch and a vast arsenal of verisimilitude presumably picked up from his days in the Air Force. A staggeringly good novel that’s part horror, part political techno-thriller, it’s so good it won’t let you go until it’s over."

Thank you, Scott!
