BOOK REVIEWS

"I think Gerhard has a great voice and I love his writing style."
​- Carver Pike, author of Grad Night, Scalp, and the Diablo Snuff Series 
“I really enjoy Gerhard’s writing style.  It’s psychological, which is really fun to dig apart and dissect.”
-Brandy Carroll is one half of the Horror Review Dream Team responsible for Horror Nerds and Book Nerd’s Book Reviews
​"​Geick writes in an enticing manner that builds the anticipation all the way to the shocking climax!" 
- Goodreads reviewer, Negan88

"Nobody else working in our part of the horror field is like Geick. There is nothing predictable about his work, save for a growing sense of unease as he drags us through his narratives towards who-the-fuck-knows what end.
​-Kevin Sweeney, author of The Lusty, The Gnome, The Whorehouse that Jack Built
​"Gerhard can really write. With his mastery of imagery, and unexpected plot twists, I’m terrified at what he will dream up next. I wouldn't miss it for the world though."
- Simon McHardy, author of Mother Maggot, Neil, and Pitbull ​
"I look forward to more from Gerhard Jason Geick."
-Goodreads reviewer, John The CrippledGimp

"Nosophobia by Gerhard Jason Geick is a short, sharp tale which I found very relatable. Having spent a lot of time on South East Asia, I felt a degree of familiarity with the location being described, and the behaviour of those involved.
"There’s an uncomfortable edge to the tale, something which never feels quite right, and this gives an overwhelming sense that things are not going to end well for anyone involved. It’s dark, challenging and meaty in places, with just enough of a weird tang to make you realise you might not be happy to stomach the contents.

"A good, fast read which pays enough of a nod to the strange times we find ourselves in. Definitely worth a look."
- Peter Caffrey, author of The God of Wanking, The Devil's Hairball, and The Butcher's Other Daughter
"This was a cool story. The first part was reminiscent of Chandler Morrison, very bleak, kinda eloquent. The later bit was enjoyable because it was a trip to have all that thrown at you. I'm looking forward to seeing what else he's got up his sleeve!"
- Rayne Havok, author of Mukbang Princess, Furry Beaver, Killstream, and Devour
"Riviting, disturbing, morbidly fascinating and as always with Geick's work, exquisitely written."
- Beate Oster, a Godless reviewer and author's mother

Omagod!!!!
​This is my 2nd Book by Gerhard, the first being Nosophobia, which I loved. And I loved Nihilophobia even more. Chilling, dark, humorous, gross, brutal, sick and twisted... all my favourite things! This psychological story started out great, and ended awesomely, I couldn't put it down, it had me hooked! And Oma!!!! Omagod, what can I say, but I didn't see that coming!! 5 Gold Discs From Me
- Corrina Morse, a Godless reviewer
"Relish in Gerhard’s appetite for destruction. Another finely-crafted thrill ride with haunting undertones. This meta-story will pull you in from the very start and pummel you around the back of the head repeatedly with its originality and cleverness. You won’t see the punches coming or where they intend to land. There are many layers to this one that will have me coming back and reading it repeatedly until Gerhard brings forth his next, undoubtedly awesome, book."
- Sean Hawker, author of Neil, Fish Pie Face Fuck! and Die, You Fucking Cunt!
"Nihilophobia Is the fear of nothingness. Perhaps this explains the main character's thoughts at the end of this total mindfuck of a story. (I am so glad that I don't have to review this on Amazon.)
"There are components of familiarity, if you have read Simon McHardy's work, and Simon himself appears in this book. Oh, no, Simon, say it ain't so. I cried. The author's imagination is wild and weird, and leaves no stones (or bodily functions) unturned. The story was sick, and for being so out of bounds, I award it five stars. Next episode please, Mr. Geick."
- Janie C, a Goodreads reviewer

"Disturbing and gross. This book made me uncomfortable the whole way through. And I have to say I would probably react the same way that the main character did with those living conditions. Guess I'm just as sick as the author."
- Donna L., a Godless reviewer
"You’ll never EVER forget this story! 
​
Cynophobia: The fear of dogs, you say? Well, I have the opposite problem. I was actually afraid to read this, because I get BIG mad when someone even suggests hurting an animal. I was so worried that I’d be scarred for life by the images, before even opening page one, because Gerhard’s stories take you on a very intense and personal journey.
"Fast forward to the end. I’m open mouthed and shocked. It takes me a few moments to compose myself and I breath deeply and wait for thoughts to form. I’m overwhelmed with feelings. My heart is broken, I feel compassion, utter sorrow and also a bit of amusement. How do you do this to me, Gerhard?! How do you make me love a story that I was terrified of, just because of your raw talent and ability to feel compassion for a person I swore to hate?! This is the power of a gifted writer. THIS is why I’ll be a forever fan!
"When a downtrodden man and his spiraling marriage begin to falter, he does everything in his power to overlook his wife’s flaws and oddities. He’s a “glass half-full” kind of guy, and everything can be rationalized and explained away. But, as things get more out of control, and the mental illness cannot be denied, he’s left with some very troubling predicaments. In the midst of the madness, our storyteller is surrounded by his wife’s bad decisions. He’s immersed in her chaos day and night… until one day, after one last straw, he snaps. The ending will shock you! You will never ever forget this story!!
​"After a few moments, you too will be overwhelmed and unable to fully express yourself. You’ll look up from this book, take a few gulps of air, and immediately wish you had a drink. I guarantee it."

"Geick Has a Proposal for UsContinuing a tradition started by none other than the author of Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift, Geick presents not only a strong defense for the consumption of babies, but an entertaining glimpse into the future.
With food scarcity a real concern, what better solution than to devour babies and unwanted children?
As presented in A Modest Proposal, the argument was that it serves a twofold solution, removal of a hungry mouth from circulation and a suitable meal provided for those who might otherwise be starving. I Eat Babies provides us with a refreshed and reinvigorated baby eating platform for the modern age.
Using the drabble form, Geick succeeds in packing a hugely amusing--albeit perverse--collection of themed snippets of story into small packages. The important thing is that he does it well.
Personally, I have to say this is a successful teaser for his upcoming collection of drabbles, double drabbles, and pentadrabbles. While I understand that this medium might not be for everyone, this collection has been made available for potential readers at no cost, so there's no reason not to give it a chance. I know I will be picking up the new collection when it becomes available.
​Maybe we can enjoy the new collection together, over a main course of baby stew?"
- Nikolas P. Robinson, author of Daemonica, Horseplay, and Unspoken
"Disturbing, Thought Provoking, and Eerily Not Too Far Fetched. I Eat Babies is a fantastic prerequisite to Gerhard’s release of In A Dark Place on the Godless.com platform. It is a wonderful way to experience what a Drabble is, if it is for you or not, and gives a feel of what is to come in In A Dark Place.
​"Gerhard doesn’t hold back in I Eat Babies. He hits on politics, religion, and many of the no no’s most people try to avoid. It was a very gutsy move, but I think that the ongoing story throughout plays well. All in all, I give I Eat Babies five stars out of five stars. Drabbles are an art form in and of themselves. They are not as easy as one might think, and that is commendable. Not to mention Gerhard writes them so well, and he definitely scores points for not being afraid to voice his opinions and stance. There are also many of the Drabbles that can be left up to reader interpretation, and I really love that. This is also a factor that appears in In A Dark Place. Check this out now, and by the way it’s free!"

"100 words. Each word cares weight. Each word is important. This book contains all of that weight and importance. I love me some short shorts. Each story is wonderfully thought out and crafted. This is a true test of talent and Geick has tones of it." 
 - Todd Love, author of Sweet Shot, Platinum Blondes, and Poisoning the Well
"In A Dark Place" sets a few different tones, most of them being quite thought provoking and also entertaining at the same time… Writing stories in 100 words can be extremely difficult but this pulls it off pretty nicely… and the hits are all grand slams!" 
-Goodreads reviewer, Robbie Morgan

Another Homerun
​
Are you afraid to die? Do you enjoy stories of yesteryear with your families? Do you enjoy traumatizing your children? Then this one is for you! As per usual, Geick gives us more than we bargained for in this short. His series is one of my favorites and for good reason. The writing flows seamlessly between each installment that they feel cohesive even though they have nothing to do with each other. A definite must read.
- Christina Pfeiffer, a Godless reviewer
