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…

If you are looking for the perfect book to add to your list of Halloween & spooky season reads, look no further. This is the one. Keep reading to find out more, but no need to beware—I won’t be dropping any spoilers here. This is one you have to experience for yourself. I seriously cannot…
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. …
“Something’s Not Right With This House” Books
The thumbnail for this one is shortened to “Haunted House Books”, but it’s really called “Something Isn’t Right About This House” Books. These don’t all necessarily deal with houses that have classic ghosts or things that go bump in the night, but they all deal with houses where something is just off, and the residents know…
Short Horror Books You Can Read in a Weekend
I’ve been making reels lately over on my Instagram, and—I’m woman enough to admit when I was wrong—it’s actually been a lot of fun. I’d forgotten my love for the video format and video editing, and this is a small way to delve back into it. But the only problem with reels is, at the…
