As soon as I heard the synopsis of this short story I knew I wanted to read it. Pretty much anything to do with ghosts or paranormal will at least get me to look at it, throw in paranormal investigators and I definitely have to pick it up. That being said, I really enjoyed this story as a very unlikely trio worked together to figure out the secrets in an empty warehouse they were visiting. The characters that were featured in this story were definitely characters I would read about again as I en...

Plague Review 10: Go Fish by Ian Rogers Three investigators working for the mysterious Mereville Group investigate the gruesome death of a night watchman in a fish processing plant. These are not your run-of-the-mill investigators, as they possess certain abilities that make them perfect for the job. But the entity they are after is equally unique and maybe far more dangerous than they thought. Ian Rogers wowed me with his collection Every House is Haunted, and I wanted to experience more of hi

Pretty good Paranormal Detectives routine. It's a bit rough around the edges, and could easily have been 5 stars with tighter edits, but it's entertaining enough. There are a few "What's wrong with you, are you trying to get yourself killed?!?" moments.

Full review available at reelhorrorshow.co.ukSomething that drew me to the story was the mention of a night watchman. I’ve worked security detail on buildings before, including patrolling a (mostly) empty mental health facility. One thing I’ve never done is patrol an abandoned fish processing plant, nor have I encountered anything spooky, so I was intrigued to see how the story was going to progress.Yes, a security guard certainly does meet a grisly end. So grisly, that I’m pretty sure someone h...

This was just... meh. The premise sounded so promising too: abandoned warehouse, gruesome murder, psychic investigators, but the end result was just so... boring.How can you make a psychic murder investigation boring, you ask me? Well, let's see.The characters are mere caricatures with no personality. The story is full of exposition. It's the worst case of tell, not show I've seen in a while. First we get to listen to an interrogation about how the security guard died. Then we listen to one of t...

An interesting story from an author called Ian Rogers who I have not come across before. Apparently, this story of psychic investigators is part of a series and he has a short story collection of them out at the moment. The story was sufficiently enjoyable as to encourage me to look it up.

I really really enjoyed this and think a longer story would be fantastic the only downside is that it is a digital read, otherwise it would be 5 stars.

Loved it! Perfectly spooky, engaging and funny.

This is my first read by Ian Rogers. I was very excited to read this and I liked the beginning of the story. It kinda kept me on an edge until the end when I felt the built up was for nothing. Good start but end was very weak in my opinion. Also, this is not one of my go to genres may be that's why I didn't enjoy this short story as much as the others.3 stars

A free short story you can find here:https://www.tor.com/2020/04/15/go-fis...It was short, but not very good. The characters were caricatures & stilted. Worse, I didn't really get any sense of overall logic in the story; one reason I don't read much paranormal stuff any more. Still, thanks to Peter who turned me on to it in his review.

This was a nice short story about 3 paranormal investigators looking into the death of a night watchman at a secret haunted building. I liked the idea of the insurance company they work for and the interesting creature they find. This would make a great series of books.

3.5, rounded up to 4 because Ian deserves a half star added, not one taken away Mr Goodreads! Take a bit of this...add a bit of this.....and one of these...(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]And we have some supernatural Ian Rogers noir. :)Now, if only those publishing dickheads would release the rest of his stuff on kindle, we could enjoy more of Ian's work.

Amusing short story. Though now I wonder if there is more in this universe, because I really enjoyed the world building set up for this story.

More, please.

Great short story about a haunted fish processing warehouse that isn't haunted by what you might expect. This story is part of a series of stories featuring an insurance group that handle the eight most haunted properties. The stories cross genres, jumping from horror to hardboiled noir to comedy in a way that Ian Rogers really excels at. It's what keeps me tracking down his new releases.This is a great stand alone story and well worth anyone's time but I can see how it may not be the best intro...

Ian Rogers has been a Canadian author that is frequently recommended to me and while I still have his release ‘Every House is Haunted’ to read, when Tor announced this novella release as a Tor.com Original, I was excited to snag it and read it asap. At a brisk 50 pages this was an easy one sitting read and I think I finished it in around a half hour, which for anyone looking for a slump buster or a distraction from a slow spot on a long read, this fits the bill perfectly.What I liked: The story

She wasn’t exactly the Neil Armstrong of astral projection, but so what? Practice made perfect, right? And she didn’t need to be perfect today. She only needed to be bait.if you have already read rogers' short story collection Every House is Haunted, congratulations! 1) you have good taste in horror/dark fantasy! but also 2) you have already met the canadian team of paranormal investigators in THIS story from having read The House on Ashley Avenue: Short Story, which according to my review and N...

A fun little novella...horror /urban fantasy. There was a lot of world building in a small package. (Read on I09 )

How lucky am I to read Go Fish before anyone?! Really incredibly lucky because Every House is Haunted was an amazing read and Ian Rogers is a magnificent storyteller. Do I usually like stories about fish processing plants? Not generally but with Roger's strong imagination and incredible story telling abilities, I'd read a grocery list if he published one. In just 26 pages Rogers forces the reader to run the gamut of emotions from confusion and empathy to joy and dread and of course fear, a prima...
