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…
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…
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…
“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…
ARC Review: Burden Falls by Kat Ellis
Burden Falls was a fun mix between traditional thriller and supernatural. Penguin Teen describes it as “Riverdale meets The Haunting of Hill House”, which I thought was a really fitting description, because as I was reading it, I was getting major Riverdale vibes, if Riverdale had a little more of a New England-y, old money, old families type vibe. Burden Falls follows Ava,…
Spooky Saturday Cryptid Edition: The Wendigo
Hey, spooky babes and welcome back! It’s been a little while since I’ve talked about cryptids, and I just mentioned them on Instagram the other day, so I thought now would be a great time to bring up another creepy cryptid for us all to think about when we try to fall asleep at night:…
Spooky Saturday: Why We Like to Be Scared
If you’re here, you likely already know at least one thing about me: I love spooky stuff. I love scary movies and horror, creepy books, disturbing images, and generally just weird things. And the thing is, this is far from uncommon. (It’s so common, in fact, that there was recently a bit of a controversy…
Bird Box: Book vs. Movie & Mini Movie Review
I talk about the biggest differences between Bird Box the movie and Bird Box the book, as well as a mini review of the movie & discussion of which one I think was done better. (As if you can’t guess.)
