Take the time to read Out Of Time!

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

This was a well written, quick story about a writer who goes on a little getaway to get the creative juices flowing again. What he finds is something more, something much more. Each day he awakes and he is in a different time. Each night he is plagued by horrible dreams, are they related? Read this and see.

Some review said this was fantasy, I guess "time travel" is somewhat science fiction, but the ends it was used for is horror in my opinion. Even if it wasn't I believe "Out Of Time" is a satisfying story.

An Interesting Story

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2016

This was an interesting short story. I liked it a lot up until a point. The story was about an author trying to get past a writer's block. It was well written and just descriptive enough without being too descriptive. The storyline was good and I thought I had it figured out...but I didn't. That one twist...I just felt it was out of place. But maybe that is just me. For a short story, I would recommend it. I liked it enough to say that without reservation, but my honesty dictates that I mention the dislike for that one twist.

This was an interesting read, it could have been written better seems like no proofreading was done but the plot was very good, needed more development, not horrible just needed more work.

Fun, creepy read

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2014

Verified Purchase

It's hard to review this book with a lot of detail, because many of the twists rely on information given to the reader in each chapter. I'll try not to include any spoilers. I can say I didn't see the major twist until the author revealed it, so well done, Mr. Saunders.

Out of Time is disturbing, with a few descriptions that are cringe-worthy (in a good way), but I'd describe it as more psychological horror that creeps into your subconscious so it stays with you a little longer than gore alone can. Overall, a well-written, creepy story with a dash of weirdness that keeps you unsettled until the last page. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Caught Off Guard

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2018

Out of Time by C.M. Saunders took me on a ride. I honestly expected a story about an author overcoming writer's block with a near-death experience or something along those lines. For the longest time, I thought I was reading a science fiction story instead. However, once the truth is revealed, I realized Saunders had found a way to combine horror, sci-fi, and the supernatural to expose Dawson for the monster hiding behind his books.

This book should be filed under fantasy. Sorry but there is no way I can recommend it. I will do my best to not read another such as this.

Joe the writer is an introvert and a loner. Otherwise, he’s a pretty boringly normal person, until he’s not. Then this story begins to twist and turn in unexpected ways. Joe has made choices that haunt him and will have consequences he would never have guessed. I didn't guess what was coming, that’s for sure. The ending was a surprise, always a plus. This book is fast and entertaining reading, well done in every way. I really enjoyed reading this and I’m happy to recommend it.

Just finished this: The book feels like its in two pieces, both good and interesting. Well-written and fun to read. I really like the second part the most, (but won't say why cause I don't want to spoil).
The attention to detail is up to snuff, and you'll find yourself comparing what you know or remember to what the main character goes through.

I don't its spoiling to say this involves time travel, but I'll say that it does it in a way I've not seen before. Well done!

Sting in the tail

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 10, 2017

The opening chapter, which described the lifestyle of a struggling writer, made me chuckle. Joe headed to the bleakness of Rhyl on a retreat. His mother was fond of visiting Rhyl. Then two twists completely shook the book up. The intricate detail from the earlier chapters suddenly gained relevance. The pieces slotted together. The story took on an eeriness. I enjoyed the clever plotting and the unique storyline. The book is filled with humour, too, that contrasts well with the darkness.

Well worth your time...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

What begins as an intriguing time-travel mystery quickly changes gear and stamps full throttle towards the horrifying. Christian Saunders writes with a mirthful charisma and unveils a brutally astute understanding of humanity's dark side that places him firmly in the footsteps of the modern horror greats. Anybody searching for a new voice in horror/thriller won't be disappointed by this novella.
