Today’s Summer of Horror theme is “strange appetites”—books whose characters are consumed with unusual hungers.

For today’s Summer of Horror cover love, I’ve found books with dripping blood on the cover (as opposed to splattered blood, which is a whole other category, lol). OK the first book is more of a “pool of blood,” but I love the cover so I decided to include it anyway. This is a mix […]
It’s not quite the end of Summer of Horror, but I couldn’t wait to share this list. Many of these books will end up on my Best of 2026 list at the end of the year, and some may even make my Top Five. All of these earned five or four-and-a-half stars, and I highly […]

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 […]
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 […]
