By Mike Robinson
Martin Smith and John Becker: bestselling authors with ordinary names and extraordinary minds.
Their words have power — to heal, to kill, to change the lives of their “characters” in shocking and unexpected ways. Famous for their uncanny similarity in both physical manner and literary voice, their childhood rivalry spins out of control into adulhood.
The death of one at the hands of the other brings to light their troubling past — and a mysterious presence, watching on from the shadows — an authorial entity with roots beyond our time or dimension; an entity with far-reaching designs.
The pen is truly mightier than the deadliest sword.

“The Green-Eyed Monster, ostensibly horror, explores the complicated idea of the “butterfly effect”, albeit in a very interesting and highly original way. “

)“The Green-Eyed Monster makes for an excellent read with a staggering measure of depth. This isn’t your typical gory horror story, it’s a character study with heavy metaphysical influences.”

)“Mike Robinson skillfully blends chaos with jealousy and supernatural horror in The Green-eyed Monster, a book filled with characters as eerie and strange as anything thought up by King or Koontz.”

)“This novel is as good as any you’re going to find, a page-turner, an electron burner. I read this book in one sitting and decided to write this review. Now, I’m going to go back and read the book again, just to enjoy every nuance of Mike Robinson’s excellent writing”

)“This was an awesome crazy wild ride of a story. I absolutely loved the dynamics, the backstory of the boys, the interweaving of characters and the sheer “out-thereness” of the plot.”

)“If you’re looking for something different, something a little creepy in a psychological way, check it out. Again, it’s written well and it definitely kept me turning the pages. It just made me long for a nice Happily Ever After, but hey, you can’t always have one.”
