New Review of Quiver

by | Sep 18, 2013 | Reviews

Aussie horror review site Thirteen O’Clock has reviewed my novel Quiver. Reviewer Alan Baxter pulls no punches, and offers a thorough critique of the book, warts and all.

“Jason Fischer has embraced the pulp novella, embraced everything about zombie stories and combined them into something equal parts familiar and refreshingly original. If you’re a fan of zombie action, bow-wielding badass heroines and good pulpy fun you should really check out Quiver.”

Another Quiver Review

by | Apr 16, 2013 | Reviews

Hey folks! I’m hoping to do a quick write-up of my Supanova experience soon, but in the meantime, here’s a new review of Quiver. Reviewer OzNoir writes:

“…QUIVER encapsulates many of the tried and true formulas common to survival horror; the building of fortifications, scavenging, zombie (or coffin-dodger) hoards and their migration, the fall of Government and the rise of independent parties, but the most important component of this zombie post apocalyptic concoction is the humans themselves who are commonly more inhumane than the walking dead. Fischer goes to great lengths to portray a dead world whose living souls are rotten and more menacing than those who threaten to end mans existence.”

New Review of “Quiver” from Scaryminds

by | Mar 25, 2013 | Reviews

Scaryminds do love them some Aussie horror, and it was great to see them do a lengthy review of my first novel, “Quiver”. It was not without moments of tough love, but all’s fair in the world of reviewing. Having reviewed for many years before writing in earnest, I have nothing but love for anyone who’d take the time to read my work and express an opinion about it.

“The book is a big read that should have a few people squirming as the gore hits the page, but Fischer never drops his narrative edge from first page to last page. A solid example of decent writing in a ghetto sub genre Quiver kept my attention, and more importantly didn’t bounce me off the page, as the journey went increasingly more surreal.”

New Review of Midnight Echo #8

by | Jan 13, 2013 | Reviews

A new review has just gone up of Midnight Echo #8, the issue that contains my story Pigroot Flat. Reviewer OzNoir says:

“PIGROOT FLAT by Jason Fischer flips the script on zombie horror by introducing an all too real horror amidst the dust and desolate Australian outback. I particularly liked the living dead in PIGROOT FLAT as being objectified as mere obstacles while the true horror flourishes behind the face of the living.”

Glad it worked, that’s exactly what I was aiming to do! The rest of the review can be read here:

Anywhere But Goodreads

by | Nov 2, 2012 | Pimping, Reviews

A nice reader review just landed on Goodreads for a collection I’m very proud to be in – Keith Stevenson’s tome-tastic “Anywhere But Earth”. Reader Dave Versace had this to say about my story:

“Of the rest, I am hard pressed to pick a favourite, but I will mention that “Eating Gnashdal”, Jason Fischer’s horrific vision of a post-human culture, is inventively funny and creepy.”

Thanks Dave! We aim to please 🙂 the rest of his review can be read here:

The book itself is available from Couer De Lion and is worth every penny. Get onto it!

Ooh, lookie, it’s now on the Kindle. Considering it’s a HUGE slab of book, this is also a good option for the discerning reader. Value for money either way.
