I have been reading Anthony Renfro’s horror stories for some time now. I am always eager to get my hands on a new one, all while trying to catch up on the backlog of his work that I haven’t read yet. Just keep ’em coming Anthony.

MY REVIEW
God vs Devil. Good vs Evil. Is man inherently good? Do we just stray occasionally, only to come back to our true selves?
Anthony Renfro has a way with words, showing me the haunted house. You know, the one the neighborhood kids talked about, daring each other to spend the night alone.
Satan fights to claim Tom’s soul. What would you do if you met Satan face to face?
One day Satan approached God and said he’s mine.
God said he’s mine.
Now, we will see what choices Tom makes. Satan will dog his every step to drag him down to Hell. He pops up here, there, leaving his messages.
tom is not a shining example of being a husband or father, but he’s not a serial killer wither. He had become a Ghost Buster, along the lines of Ghost Whisperer. He could see and talk to the dead, helping them to move on.
About halfway through, Anthony lets the shit hit the fan. Will this be the final push for the devil to win his prize?
“,,,I’ve gone on for so many years without it, and now, at one of my worst times, it seems to be the strongest it has ever been in my life.”
“…faith is a healer. It is during the dark times when we lean on it the most, even though it is just as strong during the good times.”
When The Devil Calls is different from his usual horror stories, though anything with Satan in it is filled with horror. It may even leave you questioning your own choices in life.
Bonus #I – Wasteland Delivery Driver – Wow What a fabulous start. If that’s a sample chapter, I want the book.
Bonus #2 – The Man From The Road- Curiosity creates a nightmare and the blood flows…4 Stars
Bonus #3 – Demon Energy – Sometimes, even when you win, you lose. 4 Stars.
GOODREADS BLURB
What would you do if the devil came calling?
Tom is a ghost hunter and a good one at that. He is a man without morals, without laws, a one man do-it-yourself kind of guy. Then the devil shows up, and Tom finds he is now face to face with pure evil. This sends Tom on a journey that will bring him into contact with all of those he has loved and lost throughout the years. He will reconnect with his ex wives, his kids, and himself. He will explore a side of himself that he never thought existed while the devil tries to regain the soul he is losing. In the end Tom must face down the devil or succumb to a fiery eternal damnation. Win or lose. Tom has no choice but to fight.
Bonus Short Story: The Man from the Road
A man suddenly appears on a road. He’s lost, confused, no clue as to how he got there. He starts to walk and stops suddenly. There’s a bonfire in a field nearby. He sees people dancing around this fire. They are performing some kind of ritual. He turns to flee, but he’s captured. No chance of escape. He hopes he is only dreaming, because all of this seems a bit too real.
Bonus Short Story: Demon Energy
A short story about 1 man possessed and tormented by a 1000 demons who must fight for a soul he is starting to lose. Will he ever find salvation or is his body now an eternal host of hell?
