Review
"Tense, quick-read horror...Evil Eye would appeal to fans of the slasher genre, with creative gory kills...there are many moments of clever character development and analysis." - Reedsy
"A suspenseful horror story for classic horror fans everywhere...This one isn't for the faint of heart, so this serves as fair warning...The character development is obvious and intentional, and you don't get that in a lot of horror...Taylor confidently and expertly wraps a horror story within a survival story...It will become one of your horror favorites, and Taylor will quickly become one of your go-to horror writers." - Readers Favorite
"You'll anxiously be turning each page unable to wait to learn the fate of each character." - The Horror Report
"I had a blast hunkering down in bed with the lights off and getting swept away with this book. More then once I thought about turning the lights back on. The novel just has such a great creep factor to it!" - Creature From the Book Lagoon
"The murders are ruthless, and they're supposed to be. When combined with the vivid characterizations, they'll stick with you long after you've finished the book." - Madison Graph
"Taylor does a great job with a breakneck pace, keeping both action intense, and dialog engaging. Even in such a quick read, Taylor succeeds at bringing each character to life, as their lives are threatened at every turn." - D.M. Siciliano, author of Inside

About the author

April A. Taylor is an award-winning, multi-genre author and dark art photographer. Her debut novel, The Haunting of Cabin Green, was featured on:
-Popsugar's '13 Most Chilling Horror Books of 2018.'
-Inquisitr's 'Best Horror Books of 2018.'
-Ranker's '2018's Scariest Horror Books.'
-BoredPanda's '7 Books That Scared Me Half to Death.'
-BLGM's 'Best Gothic Horror Books.'
Sinkhole: A Horror Story and Missing in Michigan received 5-Star ratings from Readers' Favorite. Corvo Hollows was named a 5-Star Must Read Book by Reedsy.
Sinkhole: A Horror Story was featured on:
-Grit Daily's 'Horror Continues to Thrive with the Scariest Books of 2019.'
-Medium.com's 'Celebrate Halloween with These Macabre and Progressive Horror Books.'
-BuzzFeed Community's '7 New Horror Books That Will Actually Scare You.'
The Haunting of Cabin Green was the #1 Amazon best seller in the U.S. New Horror Releases category for three straight weeks. It went on to become a #1 Best-Seller in Gothic, Ghosts, U.S. Horror, and LGBT Horror. Additionally, it was the Top Vote-Getter in the Horror/Suspense category of The Kindle Book Review's 2018 Reader's Choice Awards.
Both books in her Midnight Myths and Fairy Tales series became a #1 Best Seller in Amazon's Canada store during March 2018.
Many of April's books take their inspiration from real-life events. Local history is woven throughout the Alexa Bentley Paranormal Mysteries Series, and all of her novels/novellas contain at least one or two elements from the author's life.
In her psychological thriller book, Corvo Hollows, April delved even deeper into her own real-life events through a fictionalized account of one of the freakiest encounters she's ever been involved in. The main character in Corvo Hollows also battles fibromyalgia, as does April.
Like many writers, she started putting pen to paper during early childhood. Her first project was a family newspaper entitled The Taylor Family Times. Since then, she's spent more than three decades honing her craft through a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction projects.
April's appropriately spooky black cat, Riley, is her toughest editor and critic (look for pictures of him in action - and sleeping on the job - on Instagram!).
Horror caught her attention at a young age, and she's enjoyed exploring the darkness hidden inside everyone’s psyche ever since. She's also intrigued by each person’s capacity for astounding levels of goodness in the face of overwhelming evil.
April's horror, paranormal mysteries, thrillers, and dark, reimagined myths and fairy tales tackle both these topics. The darker side of humanity is also on display inside her Fine Art and Dark Art photographs, which have been published and exhibited around the world by a diverse list of media sources such as Fangoria, Scream: The Horror Magazine, and the short horror film Cathartic.
April is a proud member of the Horror Writer's Association. She lives in Michigan with the love of her life and their two cats. If her life was a cartoon, she'd be Lisa Simpson.

Oh boy did I enjoy this! Start to finish, it was fast-paced, in your face, intense. I loved all the little horror references. The lack of detail in the writing leaves your imagination to run wild and I love it. It's an eerie cat and mouse game from start to finish.
*Spoiler Alert*
And let's all be honest, we wanted Heather to go first, she was the most insufferable character and her death was the most sweet. I was rooting for Kate to pull through to the end, and was heartbroken when it came to her time. Spencer's death was depressing, I felt for him. And Chad? I was fairly indifferent to his death.
The killer himself was impressive, smart, analytical, and terrifying. He knew what he wanted and wasn't letting a damn hurricane stop him.
I hope a second book comes out, I hope Annette gets her revenge.

From the very start there’s pace to a story that unfolds just like the hurricane that engulfs those left behind on an island. Soon enough they realise someone is hunting them down and so the real slasher story begins but it’s more than that. Each character has their own complexities and we see things from each of their unique perspectives which then interact with one another – most of the time in these stories it’s easy to pick out who will be taken down first but there’s an unpredictability here making it all the more enjoyable and page turning.
While we are used to our masked but faceless killers being without any dialogue the author carves an original path with her version of evil walking because for some of it he is also talking. As he slowly stalks his prey and throughout it feels as if there is no escape with the hurricane situation heightening that terror. And in this particular situation there is nowhere to run. To some that’s uncomfortable, but to me that’s the perfect storm of horror quite literally.
Although titled as a slasher I’ll happily admit it’s a lot more than that with some nods to modern issues in society and the wider world. Much of the time there’s seems to be a lack of ideas with the ending but for this one, there were a few final twists that capped of a fun read. So come for the slashing but stay for everything else this story is about, you’ll be pleasantly surprised while also being on edge.
