"Nicely paced and laced with palpable tension [...] Horror fans
will be pleased as the terrors of the tomb force each character to
confront a past trauma"
“The suspense of the story, aided by sly hints from the author, and
the atmosphere of a dark, claustrophobic tomb work together to
create a scary story. The characters’ fear invites the reader into
the world to experience the fright themselves.”
“Moreland gives us a unique vision of Egyptian deities in “Tomb of
Gods” and the novel is a fun read with a strong plot yet easily
accessible story. A definite recommendation for fans of horror in
general but particularly for those who like stories about Egypt and
its mythology.”
“The novel will scare you, confound you, and force you to think,
and that, readers, is the mark of an excellent read.”
"Tomb of Gods completely knocked me out from beginning to end, with
some of the sequences so unrelentingly fast moving it was
impossible to put down."
*Tony’s Top 10 Horror Novels of 2020, HorrorDNA.com*
“What starts out as a good adventure story, grows into so much more
as it moves along. Tomb of Gods is fantastically imaginative,
darkly fun, and horrifically astounding; I expect this book to make
my Top 10 Reads of 2020.”
*Dead Head Reviews*
“Tomb of Gods was a thrilling and chilling read, cleverly weaving
together history with mythology, with the creeping presence of
horror underneath.”
*Beneath a Thousand Skies*
“I just wanted to read this book and fall in love, all over again,
with Egypt and the gods… I definitely wholeheartedly recommend this
book to anyone, lover of Ancient Egypt or not.”
*The Magic of Worlds Blog*
“It is obvious how much research the author has done as he weaves
the beautiful scenery, and traditions into this horror story.”
*The Divine Writes Blog*
“The horror was chilling, and I had a hard time putting the book
down once I started it. Brian Moreland puts a great deal of care
into his characters and his internal mythology, and he can write a
spine-tingling story.”
*We Who Walk Here, Walk Alone Blog*
“This is a book that actually made me feel the pain of the
characters, the fear was visceral. Several times, I had to put the
book down because it was so well written."
*Book Bustle Blog*
“With a mixture of adventure, tense claustrophobic horror,
horrifying monsters, an engaging cast of characters and a slightly
different portrayal of the Egyptian pantheon, we are drawn deep
into the “Tomb of Gods” and we might not leave.”
*Books I Like Blog*
“This is not a book to read with the lights off, but it is
absolutely a book to read!”
*Reading Reality Blog*
"Horror fiction and horror films abound with stories of the
“you-don’t-want-to-go there” and while Tomb of Gods can be filed
within this sub-genre, Moreland has come up with something
different within that trope by combining Egyptian mythology (which
he clearly knows a lot about) with great scene-setting,
claustrophobic horror, uncovering the unknown, thrills and action
and maybe a smattering of romance"
