Through a Goodreads giveaway I was given a Kindle edition of Unholy Revelations by Arsenio Franklin in exchange for my honest review. Whew, that always seems so awkward to disclose at the beginning of my reviews. Well, it’s out there now. Nowhere to go but up from that.



Unholy Revalations is a short story written by Franklin an avid blogger at The Depressed Househusband, which I just so happen to have checked out after reading a little bit of his bio on Goodreads. I love scoping out my fellow bloggers! His blog is a combination of personal poetry and life experience that make for a comfortable way to spend a few minutes. Check it out!



Unholy Revalations is his first published book that I can see, which, for a debut short story is jammed packed with detail and action that gets the pages turning. (Or the finger swiping in this case). Reader be warned this is a graphic account of the ultimate battle between Satan and God, with chillingly realistic and gruesome scenes of Satan’s influence on mankind to do unspeakable things. Brutal murders, mass shootings, and nuclear warfare to name a few, leave you looking into the eerie window of current events.



Short action stories are tough to read and horror has proven to be even more intense, as you are thrown into the trenches of battle in the first pages and the momentum is kept until the very climactic and abrupt ending. This story is no different. It slams head on into your psyche, sickens your stomach and brings you on a ride that will stick with you long after you read the final word. A terrifying story that will leave you checking for brimstone and ash falling from the sky.



This story would make an excellent stepping stone to a novel, involving more of the human reaction, interpretation and struggle rather than only showing the unseen forces as Satan takes action to destroy the world and overtake God.



With excellent flow and description, I am interested to see what Franklin does next. While not for the faint of heart, it is a very interesting and fast paced read that will put you on the edge of your seat. Check it out! Happy reading bookworms!
