Overview

“His ability to weave the surreal with the hyper-real is his greatest talent.” — Signal Horizon.

Editorial Reviews

"With new twists on vampirism and the haunted house, horror fans will find this Lovecraftian terror tale of interest."

"Fast-paced, hair-raising, and with a twist ending with enough spin to make you rethink who the real monsters are, The Forever House is the sort of phantasmagorical terror that keeps you reading through gore, grit, and grime until the very end."

“His ability to weave the surreal with the hyper-real is his greatest talent.”

"THE FOREVER HOUSE is a dark, imaginative horror read from Tim Waggoner."

From the Publisher

"Waggoner is literally the blueprint for horror writers."

Cemetery Dance

"[...] if you like multiple worlds, ancient ones type horror but with more action than your typical Lovecraftian fare, then you will love this."

Ginger Nuts of Horror

This story reads like one of those nightmares you wake up from only to learn you're still sleeping and experiencing a nightmare...except that it just continues like a Russian nesting doll of nightmares within nightmares. The narrative paints a distorted and dreamlike allegory, showcasing how guilt, even (or especially) when associated with long-forgotten—or suppressed—memories can weigh heavily on us.

Domus Necrophageous

What I love about the author’s style is how he gets his characters to step away from their element. You think you know the characters well, but then they get possessed to do all sorts of unspeakable things... “Your Turn to Suffer” is probably my favorite from all of his works, and I hope he continues to write many more!

Rajiv Reviews

Tim’s Your Turn To Suffer is a book I’d recommend to fans of the genre, especially those who truly enjoy tales of the weird and disturbing.

FanFiAddict

If you like your horror to be dark, deeply themed with a sly smile on the pulse of Barker and Lovecraft whilst making his own unique addition, you can not go wrong with Your Turn To Suffer. An Excellent read.

The Literary License Podcast

While having some grisly splatterpunk elements this novel maybe leans more into weird fiction, and reminds me of classic 80s horror (think Nightmare on Elm Street or Hellraiser.) It was a lot of fun.
