Book Reviews of Altmann's Tongue
Book Review: Delightfully Disturbing
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, it was a great pleasure and honor to attend Brians Fiction Writing courses when I was a student at Oklahoma State University. I found him the most selfless instructor of the written word and took to heart the advice he gave to me concerning my work. If you want to write, study from a master.
Towards 'Altmann's Toungue', I would simply tell you that Brian is the thinking mans 'Stephen King'. There is no spoon-feeding of plot here. It is brutal, raw imagery. And it is clear that he is a true student of Poe and Kafka. If you are hungry for horror in small servings, you must dine on Altmann's Toungue.
