3.0 out of 5 stars
Humorous, scary, and clever, all at once!,
This review is from: Perverted Realities (Paperback)
Through three short stories of paranormal fantasy/horror, we get to know best friends Sammy (a punk who can astrally project himself), and Frankie (who is half-dragon). Although Sammy and Frankie often introduce themselves as self-proclaimed freaks, they see themselves as totally normal. Frankie doesn't bat an eyelash at Sammy experiences astrally projecting himself into a cartoon drawing, and Sammy find it totally normal that parts of Frankie's body is covered in dragon scales. Through the lens of Caress, we see them as completely normal, as someone we might have known once.
Although the writing style has choppy moments, the stories are humorous, scary, and clever, all at the same time. It reminds me of early Stephen King, the psychological horror/suspense with open endings, adrenaline rushes, and very little actual physical danger. You're pretty sure the good guys won, but you're not completely sure the bad guys lost, either. Two of the stories involve paranormal happenings, ghosts, seances, astral projection, and the like. The third one involves aliens, and although a fine story, did not seem to fit with the other two. My biggest beef with this piece was the length. While reading, I got the impression Caress had a lot more to say, so the short suite surprised me. At first, I thought the short length was great, as I finished the book in two sittings, but by the time I got to the end, I was ready to demand Caress e-mail me what happens next. Caress is clever, obviously cares about her characters and the pain and suffering they may go through, so I'm happy to hear she's decided to turn "Frankie and Sammy" into a (hopefully) paranormal series. Editing can usually take care of any choppy writing or syntax issues, and I want to know what happens next with Sammy and Frankie. They remind me of someone I know, someone I care about, and I know Caress cares about them too. 3.5 out of 5 spaceships. Reviewer: Andrea Johnson for Multiverse Reviews

A Heaping Helping,
By Robert Starr (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Perverted Realities (Paperback)
"Amusing supernatural tales"
For those of us who enjoy a touch of "paranormal" in our books, PERVERTED REALITIES has a heaping helping! With spellbinding intrigue, Perverted Realities takes us to the brink of reason, to the edge where spiritual and physical meet . . . a world unto its own that breathes within the shadows with cartoons that come to life, spirits, ghostly fires and much more. PERVERTED REALITIES is a clever combination of horror and paranormal with a touch of fantasy that cleverly blends together into a strong novel that readers from all three genres will enjoy. The story lines contain humor to ease some of the tension. However, what will amaze the audience is how Jennifer Caress is able to cleverly amuse or frighten the reader from one moment to the next. Three clever tales in one chillingly hypnotic book. A must-read that you will not be able to put down --- just make sure you are not alone. Review by Sheryl S. Soper, owner of [...]

4.0 out of 5 stars
not my style, but i stayed glued until the end,
This review is from: Perverted Realities (Paperback)
I don't read a lot of fictional books, especially with subjects that stretch the boundaries of what is real and not. But regardless, this was a book that played to my curiosity and kept me engaged despite being a kind of thriller and at times just odd story. I'll be looking out for the next book!
