NEWBOURNE PARK by Jennifer Thorne – Review
Posted September 8, 2026 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 0 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A visceral tale of monsters both human and supernatural, Newbourne Park is a bloody, terrifying story of hunger and survival. “You’ll soon come to wish we ate you too.” When I finished Jennifer Thorne’s last book, Diavola, I knew it was going to be hard for the author to top herself. But with […]

The nitty-gritty: Top notch horror elements and heavy handed social commentary combine with mixed results in this slow but entertaining story. There’s a lot to love in The Burn Line, the latest novel by horror podcaster Jonanthan Sims, but I also found this to be a frustrating read for a couple of reasons. The London […]

SMALL TOWN SLASHER by Stephanie Rose

SMALL TOWN SLASHER by Stephanie Rose
Posted August 28, 2026 by Tammy in 2 1/2 stars, Reviews / 16 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Small Town Slasher delivers some killer action, but the character development falls short and the story overall lacks any heart or emotion. Note: This is a review of the novella-length version of the book. Stephanie Rose is the owner of Death By TBR Books, a horror bookshop, and she’s also a writer and […]
