More Rave Reviews for SOULSNATCHER
"Wow! What an imagination KD has! I am amazed by his ability to make the reader feel as if he/she is right there in the story with these fascinating characters. I certainly am hoping to see more of KD's work here, there, and everywhere.... especially in bookstores! What a pleasure it is to have the opportunity for a sneak preview of a great story such as this one on such a great website. Thanks!" - Jimi Ann Burgess

"A grabber from the gitgo! Steadily paced and intriguing. Can't wait to find out who the "Dark Man" is..." - Tanya Thieleman

"This Guy Rocks! Chapter 1 got my attention, Chapter 2 has me pining for more!!! And I ain't easy to please! Gimme More, Gimme More..." - Candace Brenner

"Can't wait for Chapter 3! So far, I really dig it and I want to see more of what is in this writers imagination. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to discover Mr. Denney!" - Karin Johnson, vocalist, songwriter, musician

"Too bad this is only going to show 3 chapters. It pulled me in instantly and set a really incredible pace. I didn't see how Chapter 2 could keep it up but it did. Very addictive. This would be a book hard to put down." - Cecil Hutchins

"Meets the basic criteria for a possible breakout novel – originality, plausibility, inherent conflict, and emotional appeal." - Reginald Beal, author of Zeus - The Avenger

"I truly enjoyed Chapter two. I can't wait for the rest. I think this would be a hard one to put down!" - Sherry Jolly

"Finished Chapter 2 and can't wait for the next! I am an avid reader... 3 or 4 at a time... but there are a finite number of storytellers out there who can grab not only your attention but your heartstrings as well. Keep it coming..." - Tanya Thieleman

"Cool book. I would have continued reading if there were more here. Nice style. Intriguing storyline. I will definitely buy the book when published, and very likely more by this author!" - Barrie Hicklin

"Intriguing style, which is easily read and pulls the reader through the story like a child wanting ice cream. Well done." - Bill Copeland, author of Ashes to the Vistula

"Easy reading and grabs the reader into the story. I can't wait to read chapter 4!" - Thomas Landon

"I've just read the first three chapters of "Soulsnatcher"! I remained motionless and locked in stunned silence for a full five minutes afterward. So lost, was I, in the surreal panorama that Kerry Alan Denney had created for me that my subconscious was reluctant to return so abruptly. It was a transcendental experience... a turbulent flight of fantasy in which my cerebral safety harness released , my pulse raced and my breath became shallow. My inner being now insists that I procure "another chapter, one more chapter... feed me another chapter!" with the gnawing persistence of a nicotine addiction. (It admonishes me for my failure to comply. It threatens to screw with my psychological stability.) I enthusiastically implore you to publish this novel! In the meantime, I anxiously await an "encore" chapter. Just one,...one more chapter! (C'mon, be a sport... shoot us another chapter.) Please. I'm giddy with anticipation!" - Michael Marjenhoff, artist

"Excellent blend of narrative and dialogue to build suspense. Does not slow down the action with back story but gives the reader enough information to build up the suspense without confusion. Pulls you forward to keep reading. An excellent story for serialization to keep people coming back to the website to read more. Please keep more of Mr. Denney's work coming in the future." - Ken Schmanski. award-winning author

"Very well crafted for such a fast paced and high energy narrative. After these first 3 chapters it compares favorably with a Stephen King Dark Tower novel. Not a copy or imitation but just a general feeling. My favorite aspect of this so far is that I can't wait to find out what happens next. I want the rest of the novel. Three chapters only makes me want it all. Where can I get it?" - Metalhead, the undisputed Chili Master

"Wow, I really enjoyed this read. I am always looking for a new author to read. I can't wait to see this author get published. I hate it now that I am left hanging. I would love to read more..." - Sandy Rosenberger

"These first three chapters are excellent. I enjoyed them completely. Now when will I be able to read the rest???" - Sherry Jolly

"This story has had me captivated from the start. Excellent visualization, free-flowing narrative, and an energetic, fast moving pace that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Can't wait to see where I'm gonna wind up. Please put this in print ASAP! My mouse doesn't scroll fast enough to do the urgent page turning justice! Somebody smart would be first in line to grab this guy and his stories up! Hope to see more of him here! More chapters please???!!!" - Paula "Doc" Lark, former stage manager for Parliament Funkadelic

"After Chapter 3... there is no turning back! Please continue, I can't stand to be left hanging. Please let me know if Kerry Denney is in print anywhere. If all of his writing is of this caliber, I can't wait to read more! MORE CHAPTERS PLEASE!!!" - Tanya Thieleman

"Wow! It's hard to imagine that this talented novelist hasn't been "discovered" yet! I was entirely mesmerized by the story. Very compelling, original and well-written... a fascinating confluence of horror and suspense!" - Michael Curtis Brown

"This is my favorite chapter so far! I was RIVETED and I cannot WAIT to read the rest of this intriguing & well written story. More please!" - Karin Johnson, vocalist, songwriter, musician

"This guy has me on edge already. Fast paced and extremely good visuals. Gimme More, Gimme More!" - Ben Cranston

"Awesome imagery! Love the different perspectives of the characterizations. Keep goin' bro'!" - Kevin Scott Denney, renowned educator (thanks, bro!)

"Fast paced and engrossing. This draws you in instantly and keeps you looking to see where it goes next because you just can't tell. I know 3 chapters will not be enough." - Cecil Hutchins

"I have been lucky enough to read a bit of Mr. Denney's work and I must say - "I LOVE IT". It is a rare writer that can grab you within the first few paragraphs. I have read the first chapter of Soulsnatcher and can hardly wait for the next! all I can say is "Kerry Keep It Coming"!" - Tina Rodgers

"Wow! I have really been keeping up with this new author and he is soooo AMAZING! I love how he seems to have mastered the art of showing, and not telling. Easier said than done, for sure. And aren't the characters fascinating? I hope that Kerry will continue to be as prolific as he has been thus far, and continue to bless us with his wonderfully intriguing stories." - Jimi Ann Burgess

"The first line grabs you. This chapter really paints a mental picture. Can't wait for chapter 2. Good stuff!" - Bob Thieleman, owner of Virtual Image Prepress

"Kerry Denney is a promising new author. His work has elements of mystery, suspense and the paranormal. I'm really looking forward to reading more of his work!" - Lynda Fitzgerald, author of LIVE Ringer, LIVE Ammo, Of Words & Music, If Truth Be Told, and An Irreconcilable Difference (forthcoming: LIVE in Person)

"MORE! MORE! MORE! I'm hooked." - Thomas Patton

"Wow, this is GOOD stuff! Check out his site everybody, he's got some really good stuff to read there, too. Somebody let me know where I can buy his books! You Rock Kerry Alan Denney! Keep it coming!" - Paula "Doc" Lark, former stage manager for Parliament Funkadelic

"No! Don't make me wait till tomorrow! Somebody please publish this guy-QUICK! Is he going to offer signed copies? I want one!" - Brenda Crandall

"I can't wait for the next installment, Kerry. I love the fast-action and fantasy. Please share the next chapters ASAP." - Natalie Watts

"Love this story... I really would love to read more... Wow where did this guy come from..." - Stephanie Hayden

"This is relentless and I don't want to put it down. I hope it is published soon so I can see where it goes. If this is an 800 page novel I'll be exhausted before I finish it but finish it I will." - Cecil Hutchins

"Where can I find Chapter 4 and beyond? I like Kerry's style." - Bob Thieleman, owner of Virtual Image Prepress

"Wow! I wish I had one tenth of the creativity, talent, and imagination that Kerry Denney has! How does he do it?? It's possible we'll never know but I, for one, am going to continue to enjoy his gifts by reading his wonderful stories. So, let's get 'em published, okay?" - Eleanor Fante

"I have thoroughly enjoyed the serialization of Mr. Denney's first 3 chapters of Soulsnatcher. He has a unique voice and a talent for dialogue and narrative that does not get buried under an avalanche of back story. He gives the reader credit that they can handle the pace and details given as he moves the story along. This helps build up the suspense and make you keep reading. The words disappear and the story grabs you. You see the characters evolve and do not see the writer. A rare talent not exhibited by many writers. Keep Mr. Denney as a contributing writer to your website and I'll keep coming back." - Ken Schmanski

"I love this guy's style! First he brings you to the edge of fear and worry only to show you how these girls "gifts" if given a chance could bring such joy and happiness. So, lead me through this maze, I am eager to learn their fate... you have to give your readers MORE!" - Tory Jean Andersen

"All I can say is WOW....let's have chapter 4! This is a great escape. Do you have more novels and where can I find them?" - Adam Andrews

" 'It was the boogeyman.' Did anybody else go pee-pee just a little bit when that guy showed up in the front yard? My heart raced with Kaylee's as she scrambled for safety! There is some powerful suspense unfolding in the first three chapters of "Soulsnatcher". I'm thoroughly captivated. What a great novelist!!" - Michael Curtis Brown

"Emotionally charged...spellbinding. This is a real page turner. Where can I get a copy?" - Elisa Cervantes

"I'm totally engrossed! This promises to be as magical as her fertilizer! What's going to happen with Kaylee and the dark man? When is the next chapter coming? This has me moving through the story at a blistering pace and I can't wait for more! Keep putting Kerry Denney's work here and I'll come back for more everyday!" - Carrie Barnes
