I really love horror novels, and I’m excited to bring you an excerpt from Jaq Evans’ WHAT GROWS IN THE DARK. Here, a YouTuber who “investigates” places experiencing paranormal activity, then fakes her results, must return home and face the trauma of her sister’s suicide sixteen years ago. Here’s an excerpt of the novel. This […]
The first installment of Catching Up With… features THE MONSTER MUSEUM, book #10 in J.L. Bryan’s Ellie Jordan Ghost Trapper series. I could go on and on about how much I love J.L. Bryan’s books and writings, and I highly recommend any of his standalones and series for paranormal and horror lovers. This series features […]
It’s been a while since I’ve read a great horror novel, and after reading the fantastic sci-fi novel It Takes Death To Reach a Star by Stu Jones and Gareth Worthington and seeing that they were recommending Beneath the Lighthouse by Julieanne Lynch, I definitely had to check it out based on the cool, interesting […]
I really enjoy psychological horror, and it’s been some time since I’ve delved into one. Michael Barsa’s debut, The Garden of Blue Roses looks deep at the adult son and daughter of a famous horror writer, just after their parents died in a car accident. While it was deemed an accident, the question remains to […]
Picking up one of J.L. Bryan’s Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper books is sure to be packed full of chilling scares, a bit of historical research about a real place that’s purported to be haunted, great one liners, and smart decisions/ways for the characters to get to the bottom of the hauntings. The fifth installment […]
It’s October again and that means that Halloween will soon be here. Since I spent a good part of the summer (and this year for that matter) reading horror, I’ve culled through my books read list on Goodreads to find the best–the scariest books and series that I’ve been recommending to everyone. Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper […]
Good, solid storytelling sets a great foundation for an audiobook. But a unique way of telling that story makes for a stellar audiobook that you don’t want to stop listening to, and The Dead House is told in such a way that it excels head and shoulders above so many other stories in my opinion, […]
This has been my “Summer of Horror,” and to mark the end of the season and a lot of wonderfully dark and twisted books, Kevin P. Keating’s The Captive Condition was my end cap. I’d like to say that this novel lived up to my expectations, but maybe a chocked-full summer of great horror […]
William Todd Rose struck me as a horror author to not miss with his novella Crossfades (my review) that came out earlier this year. It was in this work that we first met Chuck, whose job it is to astral travel into the in-between areas called Crossfades and help stuck souls cross over into the light. […]
In the first book(my review), The Mirror of Souls, we’re introduced to Jacqueline Talbot, who is known as the Gorgon—a spiritual being that is preordained to be the host body for the demigod Khayrat. While her Aunt Mitzy and Mitzy’s vampire bodyguard Edwin are sworn to protect Jacqueline and keep this prophecy from coming […]
Don and his wife Nikki take his mother Harriett to Mercy House, where she’ll live out her final days in this retirement home being cared for due to her Pick’s Disease (similar to Alzheimer’s Disease). Over the last year, Harriett has grown angrier and more resentful–especially towards Nikki–and she’s not happy to be pawned off […]
Hydra has published solid horror titles this year, and after reading and loving Consumption by Heather Herrman, I dug right in to William Todd Rose’s novella, Crossfades. While novellas can sometimes leave you feeling like there’s something missing, or maybe story isn’t as well developed as it could be with characters that you don’t get to […]
Hi, everybody. I am so happy to have the wonderful Heather Herrman here today for her TLC Book tour for her fantastic debut novel Consumption. Horror is my favorite genre and I reviewed Consumption last week. I’ve often found that when I recommend such great books that just happen to be firmly rooted in the […]
