This year’s Bram Stoker Award for superior achievement in long fiction went to Gene O’Neill for The Blue Heron. Dark Regions Press originally printed a mere 13 signed copies of the novella-length work, but plans to issue a trade paperback edition this year. A bit of research on the internet also suggests that it was briefly available as an e-book on the author’s own website or Facebook page, but that no longer appears to be the case.I’m frankly puzzled by the Stoker win. The Blue Heron is a dece...
Originally an extremely limited (only 13 copies made) signed hardcover from Dark Regions Press. After it was placed on the preliminary ballot for the 2012 Bram Stoker Nominations for Long Fiction, Gene O'Neill made it available as an e-book from his facebook page. This is why I love following authors, you never know when they're going to get the urge to share something for free.From the synopsis of the story found on the Dark Regions Press website..."In 1962 a USMC Force Recon team, after destro...
Picked this up at the 2012 World Horror Writers Convention in Salt Lake City.I got a great autograph from Mr. O'Neil, which reads: "For my new friend FURB (a name cooler than The Blue Heron!) ~Gene O'Neil WHC 2012
2.5 *, rounded up for writing style.A USMC Recon team finds themselves on a mission in Vietnam, and accidentally make a fatal mistake. Nearly 50 years later, the six members of that team begin dying in mysterious circumstances. An Origami "blue heron" is the only obvious clue linking these deaths.The writing style was smooth and paced very well. My main complaint was that there was really very little "mystery" involved in the story. Personally, I figured out what was happening as soon as I read
This was a great book about revenge, mystery, and espionage. A recon team in Vietnam make a terrible mistake, and years later, one by one, they begin dying. The only clue linking the murders is a small origami figure of a Blue Heron. Two of the survivors go on a quest to find the killer(s), putting themselves into the heart of the danger.
Gene O'Neill's novella “Jade” was my number six read of 2010, I wanted another 100 pages. It was a charming post apocalypse story, yep you read that right. O'Neil is a talented story teller through and through and that story set in the ruins that had once been San Diego was emotionally gripping from the first page to the last. I also read and loved his Bram Stoker award winning collection of stories taking place in San Francisco called “The Taste of Tenderloin” So I jumped at a chance to review

Excellent novella by Gene O'Neill. Interesting characters, plot and close attention to detail. I highly recommend it.
