Spooked and satisfied--Where's the movie! Wow. As one who has written thrillers, this book had me on page one. No boring prose. I read it on a friend's device...couldn't stop reading it. Felt like I was watching one of those scary paranormal films I enjoy watching late at night on TV. The author knows how to keep the reader's interest. A lot! This should be an audiobook.

Not for the faint of heart! Fright House is a fast-paced splatterfest with all the elements horror readers crave. It has a fantastically scary setting that overwhelms all the senses, a diverse cast of young characters who are inevitably separated and subjected to Fright House's individually catered horrors, and enough blood, guts, and other fluids to keep you reeling.
\n
\nA very well constructed story, Fright House will dig its hooks into you and keep you turning the page...desperate to find out what happens next despite the aggressively mounting terror. Fred Wiehe is very talented at setting scenes and providing a crystal clear image of the unfolding horrors.
\n
\nFright House would make for an excellent on-screen adaptation, and I look forward to the possibility of following the Paranormal Scene Investigations team in future adventures

A front you seat into Wiehe's mind. THE COLLECTED NIGHTMARES by Fred Wiehe is like a front row seat in the theatre of Wiehe’s mind.
\nThe conflict between the heart and the responsibilities of family, the vivid details of an attack by creatures from another works; protecting the earth; The intermittent poignant poetry and and standout shorter segments about the repercussions of bullying to the beautiful erotic side of death. The sneak peak of the author’s mind when he sleeps. Wiehe’s collection is not only a ride of fantasy and horror but an expression of relativity and reality.

The Collected Nightmares is a stellar collection! I may be biased because I’m the author’s son, but I don’t care. I love this book, and I think you will too. I’ve gone back to reread, for my own personal enjoyment, all of the stories in this collection at one time or another, Under the Protection of Witches, The In Between, and the Aleric: Monster Hunter sequel novella being personal highlights. The book passed through my rigorous editing process so you know it’s good, Haha! Seriously though, the Aleric followup alone makes this more than worth a read. Give it a try!

Stories that Haunt the Mind and Soul is a celebration of horror—13 tales filled with fear, despair, and horrifying consequences created by the twisted mind of bestselling horror author and Horror Writers Association member Fred Wiehe. Each story will take you to new depths of supernatural and paranormal experiences that will have you questioning your longstanding beliefs of what’s real and what isn’t. If you didn’t believe in the occult, ghosts, demons, evil entities, werewolves, Satan, or other haunting creatures of the night before reading this collection, you just might afterward. Read at your own peril if you dare risk inevitable nightmares.

I really liked the characters in this collection, especially Theresa in “Sleep Driver.” She felt so real, confused, scared, but still strong. Her story stuck with me the most, and honestly, I think a lot of readers will find her their favorite. I also loved Finn because he added some warmth and humor in the middle of all the creepy stuff. The characters in these stories aren’t just there to be scared or killed off. They have actual emotions, histories, and relationships, which made the horror hit harder. Overall, I’m giving this 5/5 stars and two thumbs up!

These stories seriously messed with my head (in the best way.) They're not just jump-scare horror. Most of them start off normal, then slowly slide into something unsettling or outright terrifying. “Shadow Man” totally freaked me out, and “The Hole” was super trippy. There’s this slow-burn tension that keeps building and just doesn’t let go. Some endings left me thinking “wait, what just happened?” but in a good way. It’s the kind of book that gets under your skin. 4 out of 5 Stars

I’ve read a lot of horror, but this collection felt different. It’s more psychological than bloody, and a lot of the stories deal with things like guilt, revenge, and even the supernatural in a deeper way. It’s not just about scary ghosts or monsters, it’s about what those things mean to the characters. It’s creepy without trying too hard, and some stories had me actually pausing to think, “Whoah, that’s deep.” Definitely not your average horror read. Therefore, I’m giving this book a perfect rating of 5 stars. Highly recommended to horror enthusiasts!

Stories that Haunt the Mind and Soul by Fred Wiehe delivers a chilling mix of psychological horror and supernatural unease. The book is full of creepy moments--from strange sleepwalking to scary encounters with dark forces. Each story starts out normal but slowly turns into something very disturbing and hard to explain.

The writing is clear and fast-paced, making it easy to get caught up in the stories. You meet everyday people like students, couples, and lonely folks who suddenly find themselves in frightening situations that make them question what's real. These stories show just how quickly the world around us can become strange and scary.

If you like slow, creepy horror stories like the Haunting of Hill House or the Twilight Zone, you'll probably enjoy this collection. It's not just about scares--it's the kind of book that stays with you and makes you think long after you finish reading.

5/5 Stars

I didn’t expect “Shadow Man” to creep me out the way it did. The slow build, the basement, the weird smells, the sense that Brooke knows more than she’s letting on—ugh, so good. It has that classic haunted house feel but with an unexpected psychological edge. The tension between Emily and Brooke was just as unnerving as the supernatural stuff. And that final act? Unflinching. It’s not just horror for the sake of it, it’s about control, trauma, and the things we can’t explain. 5 Stars

","source":"graychristine64, BookBub","isInactive":null},{"id":"164719","content":"

Wiehe’s characters are layered and full of contradictions, often straddling the line between victim and perpetrator. Whether it’s Theresa’s transformation into a conduit for justice or Emily’s breakdown into violence, the emotional realism is sharp. These aren’t just archetypes, they’re complex people thrown into impossible situations. Even the unreliable or possibly delusional narrators are believable because they’re written with such emotional honesty. 5 Stars

Hey Darklings! This (Bloodthirsty) is a tight time-trippin' noir style murder non-mystery. It also includes drugs, heads exploding, generalized slaughter, superhuman strength, suicide, murders, and let's not forget the ever romantic first date cannibalism. If you think that's too chaotic to have all these things in one story ... you're right ... and it's beautifully executed. What would you do if you loved someone so much that you hated them? Not only that but you take it upon yourself to rip the fabric of space and time in order to brutally murder them in every single plane of existence. Non-stop action, decent pacing, and a dash of spontaneou-n-drug fueled antics, super noir feel, an experienced whiskey-drinkn' police detective and you have the trappings of a massively enjoyable story.

Believe in Multiverses or not, the BLOODSHOT series by Fred Wiehe will at least suspend disbelief. Seemlessly slipping between realities, the sociopathic villain wrecks personal havoc as he tracks and kills the person he believes betrayed him (and worse yet, intended to steal his glory). Only one person, a failed, feckless hero homicide detective determines to track and capture this elusive, nearly invisible, killer across multiverses in order to stop the possible infinite killing spree.

Interdimensional travel, the space-time continuum and the fringe sciences permit us to study and learn about things that are fuzzy even for the sciences that exist today. What is so cool about it when we already have had so many movies, series, and books made about the same thing? I mean the concept may not be new but the approach the author took, the motive he gave the villain and the exhilarating chase which was generated in turn is the thing that made this book special...

An interesting and intense mix of science fiction, horror, and crime thriller. The premise caught my attention and kept me reading. This is a page turner and hard to put down. Detective scenes are interspersed with chapters of individuals taking Bloodshot, and the carnage that ensues from this. These scenes are gory, intense, and gripping. None of the characters feel throwaway, and all play their important roles. I especially like McGrath, and how his alcoholism fit into the story; it wasn't just a random character flaw, but something which molded parts of the story, and which the novella wouldn't have been effective without. The exciting and emotional ending definitely leaves the reader urging to know what happens next.

Filled with multi-dimensional travel, wild action, and drug-fueled gore. Bloody is the word of the day because this book is dripping with it.
\nBloodthirsty acts like a bomb. Relentless tension building page by page as the chemicals within mix—the cunning villain's bloodshot red, the tortured hero's cop blue—and you’re on the edge of your seat, anticipating the explosion.
