The God Damn Dead Reviews
In the GD Dead, Colt Skinner writes with a real, gritty, cinematic style that would make you think he went undercover in a real vampire motorcycle club, escaping just in time to peel out and leave his story behind in skidmarks across the page. It's that badass."
- Carver Pike, author of Kin of the Fallen and Faces of Beth
'. . .Skinner has crafted an unlikely duo you'll be rooting for with Hellbilly and Death Mask. This novel rips along - the reader will be sweating bullets as the action ramps up all the way to the brutal, bloody, unabashedly enjoyable ending!'
- Steve Stred, 2X Splatterpunk-Nominated author of 'Mastodon' and 'Churn the Soil.'

Red Laces Reviews
"This was wild! Colt Skinner has a seriously masterful grasp on writing realistic characters and settings that exist in or around niche subcultures. The writing style is crisp, clean, and confident with a first-person POV told in a unique tense that is not easy to pull off. This is just a testament to the writing chops this guy has. Red Laces may be his best work yet: a bold endeavor into some of the darkest parts of humanity, with an unexpected and OH SO satisfying twist."
-Megan Stockton, author of Bluejay, Lovely Dark and Deep, and more
This book blew me away. At only 81 pages, it packs one hell of a punch. It doesn’t take long at all to realize that Tank is a complete waste. He is full of hate, loves violence and seems to be waiting for his chance to lash out at anyone he can belittle or harm. He loves the feeling of power and uses that to psych himself up and flex on others within his crew. He definitely takes his role and his red laces seriously. This character is the worst and Skinner’s vivid writing brings him and this whole book to life. It’s almost as if you are tagging along with these lowlifes. A couple of things in the book made me think maybe Tank had a soft side in there somewhere but was proved wrong. He only gets worse. The blurb mentions “Some people deserve what’s coming to them…” remember this because I did not see this ending coming. THIS is seriously one of the best and most powerful endings ever. This is how it’s done. The last sentence is going to stick with me.
