"Your Fortune Looks Bright!

I believe I have read everything published by J.P. Jackson to date, and as with all his other novels this one is brilliant. I’m not going to gush and go on and on about what a fun read this is. Just know that this is another amazing story by Jackson with rich colorful characters that you’ll enjoy reading about.

Allan and Patrick are an unlikely pair and I found them a bit of an odd couple at the beginning of the story. However, the more I read the more they grew on me. There were times I felt the story was a bit rushed and there were a couple of plot points that, in my opinion, got waved away. I would have liked deeper explanations into certain events of the story that never came. However, that all said I enjoyed the story and found it a lot of fun to read. I especially liked the dog and the raven. They provided some hints of levity and fun throughout the story that I appreciated.

One-bit of a bonus for me in this novel, was how encapsulated the story telling was. You really focus on the two main characters and you don’t have a lot of background characters fluffing out the story or getting in the way of the plot (this is also one of my bugaboos as well. When you read the story, I think you’ll understand why). All said, by the end of the story I felt like I really understood both of the characters and I wanted more.

This novel is part of a larger universe, so if you are so inclined you can read the additional stories, by different authors and see their take on the overall universe. But don’t let that sway you, this is a wonderfully crafted standalone novel that any reader of MM Paranormal will love and eat up.

"Where do I begin?! I love slasher horror movies, especially campy slasher movies. Long Night at Lake Never reads like all of the slasher films that I love. On top of my love for horror, this books is so queer, which makes it even better. Eric sprinkles his own humor, which is fucking hilarious, throughout the book giving readers a moment to breathe before jumping right back into the gore and violence. This is what a good slasher should do instead of pure gore the entire time. Let readers savor the exciting, horrific moments. This is a short and easy read, but it is 100% fun and camp. I want to thank Eric, who has become a good friend, for writing such a fun read. I haven't been able to sit down and read a book (physical or e-book) since January 2023, and Long Night at Lake Never ended that slump for me. I can't wait to read more from Eric. I highly recommend this book to everyone you enjoys a good slasher! "

"Eric David Roman's slasher novel captures the balance of portraying the sinister nature of conversion therapy camps and the gory, campy goodness of old-school slashers with queer characters."

"Fantastic read

While the summer camp slasher has been done countless times this is the first great conversion camp slasher. Likeable characters, gruesome deaths and it's own mythology; what's not to like?"
