Summer of Horror 2026 kicks off on June 1st, and I’d love you to join me in celebrating all things horror! Last year I was thrilled that so many bloggers join in, so this year I’m hoping to expand things a bit with a sign up sheet to keep the event more organized. This is […]
The nitty-gritty: Two unhappy women seek revenge in this dark, bite-sized story, full of black humor and cats. I loved Icelandic writer Hildur Knútsdóttir’s last book, The Night Guest, so I was very excited to read Dead Weight.
