“Nobody ever wants to be inconvenienced by all the things that happen to girls.” Ellie Frias is a teenage girl with the same basic desires as any other young girl: to be pretty, to be liked, and to have friends. Instead, she goes through middle school being bullied and ostracized, and enters high school simplyContinue reading “Book Review – I Stop Somewhere by TE Carter”

Book Review – When the Reckoning Comes by LaTanya McQueen
‘“What are you?” the boy had asked and not, “What are you supposed to be?”‘ Horror has always been a genre where true grief and trauma can be explored through ghosts and other metaphors, and I think social commentary in the horror genre specifically is so important when it’s used with intention and care. ThisContinue reading “Book Review – When the Reckoning Comes by LaTanya McQueen”
Book Review – Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour
“It was difficult, when ghosts were everywhere, to figure out what was real and what was imagined” I read this book and waited two months to review it because I was so overwhelmed with how much I loved it; I already checked a few more of Nina LaCour’s books out from the library and amContinue reading “Book Review – Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour”
Book Review – Cats of the Pacific Northwest by J.W. Donley
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and that’s exactly the type of situation David and his girlfriend find themselves in on a spontaneous backpacking trip gone wrong. Alone and starving, the two begin losing all hope when they find something strange lurking in the woods – or, rather, when it finds them! Creepy and disquieting, CATS OF THEContinue reading “Book Review – Cats of the Pacific Northwest by J.W. Donley”
Book Review – Inheriting Her Ghosts by S.H. Cooper
I buddy read this one with a few pals on the LOHF team, and I can already tell it’s going to be a favorite amongst fans of both the horror genre in general, and more specifically, gothic horror. I haven’t heard a bad word about it, and didn’t have a single thing to say thatContinue reading “Book Review – Inheriting Her Ghosts by S.H. Cooper”
Book Review – All Hail the House Gods by Andrew J. Stone
What a strange little book! I loved this one – it wasn’t what I was expecting at all, and honestly, that made it so much better. This is the first time I’ve read anything by Andrew J. Stone (although he recently released another book you can grab here!), and I managed to squeeze it inContinue reading “Book Review – All Hail the House Gods by Andrew J. Stone”
Book Review – Come Closer by Sara Gran
This was my #LadiesFirst21 choice for Ladies of Horror Fiction’s first reading challenge of the year, and whoa! What a great way to start off my reading in 2021! I love subtle, quiet horror – it can be difficult for a story to nail, often edging into “too subtle” territory where not enough happens, andContinue reading “Book Review – Come Closer by Sara Gran”
Book Review – Helena by Claire L. Smith
“I only talk with the dead, and they’re the best at keeping secrets.” I love period stories, especially with horror leanings, so it’s no surprise that this one about Helena Morrigan, a mortician struggling to pay her bills in the 1800s, peaked my interest. In addition to her financial woes, Helena also struggles with ghostsContinue reading “Book Review – Helena by Claire L. Smith”
Book Review – The Strange Tale of Miss Victoria Frank by Kelly Evans
I absolutely love historical fiction, especially when it involves characters from real history whose lives I find very interesting. Nikola Tesla is one of those people for me, with his inventions and visions of what could be setting him apart from a lot of people from his time. From movies to even other fiction, IContinue reading “Book Review – The Strange Tale of Miss Victoria Frank by Kelly Evans”
Book Review – The Hereafter Bytes by Vincent Scott
“Normality is subjective.” Anyone who has been following my blog for awhile knows that while I lean heavily into the horror genre, there are sprinklings here and there of others that I love as well, with science fiction being a huge one that I grew up enjoying. Give me a well-told story set in theContinue reading “Book Review – The Hereafter Bytes by Vincent Scott”
