The nitty-gritty: Despite a fascinating, horrific premise and plenty of emotional hooks, Headlights turned out to be a disappointing reading experience. I am a huge C.J. Leede fan, let’s get that out of the way first. Her last book, American Rapture, made my top five books of 2024, so I was confident I would love Headlights […]
Welcome to Buffy’s Corner, where I take a look at what’s coming up this week on the blog! I’m linking up with The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s blog, The Caffeinated Reviewer. Well, summer has arrived in full force. We actually had to run the air conditioning a couple of times:-( But I really shouldn’t […]
The nitty-gritty: Naomi Kritzer explores the perils of pregnancy and childbirth in Obstetrix, a tense, near future thriller with thoughtful themes. I didn’t really know what to expect from Obstetrix, but I was pleasantly surprised! It’s hard to describe this book with just one genre label, but I guess I would call it a near-future […]
I can’t let June slide by without recognizing Pride Month, and of course you know I’m going to pair it with Summer of Horror😉 Here are 20 upcoming queer horror releases on my TBR! Get ready to add more books to your TBR, because there is a lot to choose from, including not one but […]
The nitty-gritty: Mark, Astrid and the gang return in the third installment of Rob Hart’s high octane Assassins Anonymous series. Get ready for a wild ride! “Lulu is the best,” Booker says. “A real sweetheart. Unless she’s calling the Russians now to tell them we’re on our way. But I trust her.” I pause and […]
Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently […]
I’m linking up with Top Ten Tuesday, which was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog. Today I’m combining the Top Ten Tuesday prompt with Summer of Horror, because why not! I have scoured the book covers of […]
The nitty-gritty: Craig DiLouie twists the traditional camp slasher trope into a story told through the eyes of local law enforcement, without losing any of the thrills and chills that slasher fans expect. The Summer Fun Massacre was not quite what I expected, but I still had a fun time with it. Rather than your […]
Welcome to Buffy’s Corner, where I take a look at what’s coming up this week on the blog! I’m linking up with The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s blog, The Caffeinated Reviewer. This week flew by, I’m not sure why because I wasn’t busier than normal. But I’m glad it’s the weekend! Not much else […]
I’m kicking off the first Friday of Summer of Horror with a list! Last summer I explored color in horror book covers, and this year I’m tackling some horror tropes, both familiar and a little off the beaten path. Haunted or possessed dolls is one of the creepier themes in horror, and while it’s not […]
