So I can totally appreciate the love for a cat in Cat Dad, the visceral imagery you get while reading Beautiful, and the pure drive to get them back in Endless. Overall I found myself at the very least entertained by all the stories, I was even updating my husband on how each story unfolded over dinner.

I also need to mention how stunning I find the cover of this, as it’s the true reason I even picked it up while browsing.

I loved this. I started reading more short stories last year and really have loved them. Thanks to my raging ADD I have a very short attention span, so short stories that are fast paced and super good are just my style. Each story actually frightened me which is pretty hard to do. My favorite was definitely the last one “the Last Hike” or “Cat Dad”. Seriously good stuff! Will definitely be checking out if this author has any other works!

I absolutely loved this book! I don’t usually enjoy a book with multiple different stories in, but I loved each and every one of these. I don’t have much to say other than I hope Brandon writes more books! I enjoyed his writing.

So The Endless and Other Stories is a collection of short stories in a short 85 page read. Each story explores a different sub-genre of horror.

I liked this a lot! I only just got into horror reads in the past year and this was a really cool intro for me to different types of horror! - My personal favorite was "Beautiful" out of the 5 story collection.

I think if you like horror, or you are interested in picking up something in small doses - this is a good choice for you!

I'm a huge fan of Brandon's and when I saw online that he was publishing a book I was like "oh my goodness" and immediately read it. I love how creative and unique all the stories are and how you can tell he put so much hard work and love into this work.

Brandon, are you sure you haven't written anything else? this was incredible. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!

I highly reccomend this short story collection. perfect for the spooky season

This collection of queer horror stories is absolutely fantastic!
The stories are so original, I’ve never seen any of these ideas anywhere before. The writing is evocative, chilling, and disgusting.

A must read for fans of queer horror!!!

What a fun batch of stories! ‘Beautiful’ has to be my favorite, but they were all so great and different from each other! Great work Brandon :)

If you want a quick read of some mind blowing stories, you’ve came to the right book. I didn’t enjoy every story but I was intrigued by most of them. Most of the stories had an ending I didn’t see coming.
