Check out this awesome review of my book, Private Number/Claws!
Rebecca, the reviewer said: “Devoured Derek Muk’s double feature Private Number/Claws in two days. Like Alex Cross? Miss Agents Mulder and Scully? A fan of The Witcher? This is right up your alley.”
Here’s a nice Amazon reader review of my book, The Demon Seeds. It’s always nice to know someone enjoyed something you wrote. Thanks, Jesse! 😀
Derek Muk asked if I could review his book. I wish the cover was better, but the content beneath is worth reading.
The Demon Seed is a fast and enjoyable read with realistic, and sometimes comedic dialogue. The story begins with a disappearance. I don’t know about you, but I enjoy a thrill right from the get go, and this book delivers that. Just as important, the thrill maintains its momentum throughout the story.

This book review of my most recent book made my day. Thanks to Amazon reviewer Dona! You’re awesome!
This is a great short read. I see the plot is outlined in the other reviews – demon entities, taking on the guise of bubogs, come to LA to disperse their seeds throughout The Valley and eventually the world via Charles Manson styled cults which prey on young women using mind control and similar techniques — enter our (Darrin McGavin in the old television series Nightstalker styled) professor monster hunter and his trusty side-kick student whose friend has been brain-washed and impregnated with demon seed. Hang on for some (Indiana Jones styled) action and hang on tighter for an ending I will not reveal. I’d like to see a series–in books and/or on television. Muk’s writing style is engaging and lots of his references made me smile.

A great review of my book The Demon Seeds, was just published by Eddie at Unnerving Magazine.
Here’s an excerpt:
Derek Muk writes in a horror style that is one part mystery, one part thriller, with a sprinkling of gore. His style is somewhere between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Mary Higgins Clark. It’s lively and fast in a way that thoroughly covers the important points while skipping most character backgrounds.

Thanks, Eddie!

Another review of my book,The Haunted Academy (this one’s short and sweet). I like ’em that way:) If there’s a cherry on top even better. I think this one sums it up well.

Imagine if Fox Mulder had been sacked from the F.B.I. (let’s face it, Mulder probably should have been sacked early on in season one) and been given a job with Lone Gunman becoming Editor-in-Chief of their newspaper, this is the type of book that would have been written about him.

A.M. Stickel takes a look at “The Occult Files of Albert Taylor” in issue 56 of Black Petals Magazine.
Here’s a short excerpt:
An Asian-American writing about an ‘oriental’ paranormal investigator? Works for me. Author Derek Muk’s western settings are all places I’ve been, and he is true to them in THE OCCULT FILES OF ALBERT TAYLOR. Way to go, Derek!

“The Occult Files of Albert Taylor by Derek Muk is an entertaining collection of eleven short stories featuring Professor Albert Taylor and his investigations into the paranormal. Though there are some minor flaws, namely with the reader having to make some leaps of imagination, the stories are entertaining. Fans of speculative fiction will not be disappointed.”
