Have you ever watched the movie Grave Encounters & thought to yourself, wow, I love this, but I wish it had more physics??? ….Okay, reading that back makes it sound like I’m being facetious, but I’m not at all. That’s kind of how I would elevator pitch this book. It’s like Grave Encounters with more…
Book Review: The Radium Girls by Kate Moore
If I told you I’d read a book featuring The Society of the Living Dead, coffins that glow in the dark even after being buried for years, and young women with bodies that are literally rotting to pieces before their eyes, you might think I’m describing a horror novel—and reasonably so. But actually, it’s non-fiction.…
ARC Review: A Blackness Absolute by Caitlin Marceau (Out February 21st)
If you thought This Is Where We Talk Things Out was anxiety inducing, wait until you read the first and titular story in Marceau’s upcoming short horror fiction collection, A Blackness Absolute. I don’t know how Marceau got into my brain, but sometimes it feels like she’s in there scrolling through a fancy iPad menu…
Review: Ghost Eaters by Clay McLeod Chapman (Out September 20th)
Ghost Eaters. Y’all. When I first finished this book, I had to just wander around my apartment staring at things for a little while, trying to process my thoughts. I was afloat. I, myself, felt like a bit of a ghost. You’ve heard the term “book hangover”? This gave me a major one. I didn’t start…
My Picks for Your Spooky Season TBR
Building a TBR can be hard. There’s way too many good books out there and with so many to choose from, how can you narrow it down? I myself am not great with TBRs, because I’m completely winging it almost 100% of the time. Sometimes I have a vague idea of what I’d like to…

ARC Review: The Depths by Nicole Lesperance (Out September 13th)
Imagine a ghost story featuring creepy Victorian era ghost girls with tragic backstories and a barrage of supernatural goings-on to torment the main character, except instead of taking place in a spooky old mansion or a crumbling castle, it’s set on a tropical island with beautiful aquamarine beaches, palm trees, and colorful flowers. That’s The Depths, and…

With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemies?
Some friends are the type of people who will be at your side no matter what, who will lift you up when you’re down, and who will prove to you when you’re at your lowest who really loves you and will always be there for you. And some friends are the friends in these books. …
Disturbing Tech-Themed Books
Far be it for me to explain the attraction, but perhaps because I’m a steadfast member of the cell phone generation, I have a real weakness for horror or thrillers that center around technology, screens, the Internet, anything of the sort. This goes for both books and movies. I am almost always in to watch…
