For A Glimpse Beyond the Terminus marks the second collection of horror and emotion by author Jordan R. Anderson.

Within these pages, a middle-aged man encounters oddity in a used car purchase, and a pair of detectives investigates the aftermath. A young employee of a tech firm discovers strange abilities in the wake of losing his virginity. After the stillbirth of her child, a woman flees from her pursuant nightmares into the arms of her sole blood relative. A boy’s patience is tested and his faith is challenged as he awaits prophecy under the guidance of his mother’s righteous fervor.

These and other tales lay elbow-to-elbow like corpses in a mass grave, offering unique struggles and differing perspectives on the meaning of life, death and the spaces between.

“Anderson’s writing is his own, but you could make comparisons to H. P. Lovecraft in his love for detail and the slowly mounting terror in his stories. There is also a good deal of science fiction in the mix that might make one think of Ray Bradbury for the humanity and Michael Crichton for the tech end of things.” —Brian J. Lewis, Horror Review

A Great Follow-up to The Things That Grow With Us

February 5, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

For A Glimpse Beyond the Terminus is Jordan Anderson's second book, which is a fantastic follow-up to his first collection The Things That Grow With Us.

While The Things That Grow With Us was more science fiction driven horror, Anderson focuses more on cosmic, paranormal, and primordial horror in For A Glimpse Beyond the Terminus. Each story is different than the last, fueled by a plethora of different driven protagonists with several motivations: sexual, terror, strange curiosity, and so forth.

My favorite story in this collection is "Under and In and So It All Begins," while "Master" is a close second.

Mildly interesting stories. Very wordy and at times down right tiresome. Anderson spends 2 pages discribing a garage.

Eerie, unsettling collection of atmospheric and creepy stories.

May 4, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

I’m a huge fan of horror stories, so when I saw a request from the author to review this book pop up in my mailbox, I simply couldn’t resist. Not only does it have an awesome, fitting cover, the stories inside are pretty awesome too.

Usually with short story collections, they end up being a bit of mixed bag, with some excellent stories, some mediocre ones and one or two that are not so great. With For A Glimpse Beyond The Terminus, none of the stories really fell into the latter category – some stories were excellent, some were mediocre, but there wasn’t a single one that I didn’t like.

“The Midnight Baby” and “Master” were my two favorite stories in the collection. I also really liked the plot of “The Harem Within” and how it was executed. Perhaps my least favorite was “Under and In and So It All Begins”, but several other reviewers mentioned that as their favortie, which just shows you can’t argue with taste.

Author Jordan R. Anderson has the uncanny ability to sketch his character’s personality in a matter of minutes, like a painter bringing a portrait to life in just a few brushstrokes, and he masterfully creates an eerie, unsettling atmosphere in all of his stories.

I just finished this one, and I’m already looking forward to the next collection! I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Some great concepts here

February 16, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

When you think of Terminus you think of the end of line. You also think of the ultimate end which is death. In For a Glimpse Beyond the Terminus Jordan R. Anderson gives us Nine stories having to do with death, cosmic horror and the paranormal. These stories are hard-core and give a serious look at what truly scares us.

My favorite story in this book was Under And In And So It All Begins. This story is simply enough about the beginning of the apocalypse. It all starts with a recently divorced man who is down on his luck and just happens to have a portal to another dimension under his car. What makes this interesting is it's like two stories in one. In the beginning it's just a man who is dealing with his own depression over his failed marriage, he finds an opportunity to be a hero but everything goes horribly wrong. The end of this story turns out to be an all out gore fest. As simple as it was my favorite part of this story was when the man decides to go into the other dimension in order to save a life and he wonders what his ex-wife would think of him now. He's doing what he needs to do and wants to be a hero but the despair over his wife divorcing him never leaves his thoughts. This story had a real Lovecraft feel to it with an awesome ending.

Another story I really liked was The Harem Within. You have to give this story points for originality. The star of it is a sexually awkward man who has a unique power. When he finally has the opportunity to have sex with someone he absorbs them into his body and the victim lives inside of him. His new power turns him into an addict and he wants to take as many souls as he can. I enjoyed the concept here and how the main character keeps referring to himself as a fiend. I love how the character sees himself at the end and the reader is left to wonder was he really a fiend? Or was he just a lonely man with no idea what was happening to him.

For a Glimpse Beyond the Terminus was a mixed bag for me. The book has the feel of being written by someone who hasn't been professionally writing for very long. There are some great ideas and content here but some situations and settings get over described which takes you out of the story. That being said I found the book entertaining and thought there were some great concepts and good content here. Jordan shows he has a passion for writing horror and I think his writing will get better in the future. I 'm looking forward to seeing what he will write about next.

For short stories, these are some of the best.

January 2, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

This is the second collection by Jordan Anderson that I've read. I liked the first quite a bit, but this one is better. The prose has improved dramatically, and the first story almost felt more like poetry than a novel—and that's a good thing. For my personal taste, what brings horror alive is the realism of the characters. Not every horror novel captures that, but this one does. Reading about the struggles, even the most mundane disappointments that the characters experience, made them real. That's the absolute best thing about Anderson's writing: his characters feel like people you know. My only criticism is that sometimes the prose gets too flowery, especially in story #1, and I found my mind wandering at a few points.

Bryan Aiello

A brilliant death themed short story collection

February 21, 2018

Format: Paperback

These short stories by Jordan R. Anderson hit about the way one would expect a story written by a rock musician would hit. They have a rhythm and style to them that screams in-your-face, eyeball melting, tangents. One suggestion I might make is, listen to them with raging music curdling the air about you.

The nine stories in "Beyond the Terminus,"tell tales of death. A man eats the souls of those he makes love to, another escapes his miserable life for the apocalypse of another dimension.

Blood gut and ruin, the perfect tropes of the storyteller.

Short story writing is a unique art in that the author has less than 8000 words to write a fully standing story.

This can be a frustrating endeavor so it makes me happy writers like Anderson are accomplishing much with it. I look forward to reading more of his work as he publishes it.
