"A knife wielding jinn and a drunk seeking revenge result in a deadly duo in this bloody and brutal novella!" - Carnage Chapters
"Ghost Knife is a bloody, brutal, brilliant extreme horror story skillfully penned by Dave Davis. Lauded for its entertainment value as supernatural horror and revenge horror, I found it to be even more than that, deeper than that. If you don't think extreme supernatural revenge horror can be deep, well, come on in.
This is a gripping story, due in no small part to the author's impressive wordsmithing. The narrative flows yet remains succinct and provocative, and I enjoyed Davis's clever use of alliteration throughout. But as always, the story's the thing, and this gruesome and graphic tale oozes underlying complexity.
Ghost Knife is absolutely a visceral, graphic, and darkly entertaining story of intense and violent revenge with supernatural elements. A good story of such. But it's also a deep dive into the mind of Jake, his thoughts and thought process, perceptions, and internal reactions to it all, and it's incredibly disturbing, chilling even. There's thought-provoking subtext on adult bullies, adult bullying, police procedure, and due process. And ultimately, there's the question of the corruption vs. obsession.
So all in all, Ghost Knife is a grisly, violent, intense, and sophisticated extreme supernatural revenge horror story about bullying, retribution, judicial corruption, a mystical blade, an ancient djinn, and a man driven to the brink." - Review by Bibliophilia Templum
