The nitty-gritty: Cosmic horror with a twist, You’ve Awoken Her provides mystery, chills and relatable characters. You’ve Awoken Her is the latest YA horror book from Ann Dávila Cardinal, and although I usually shy away from YA these days, I do take chances on YA horror from time to time, and this one did not […]
It’s time for the Rainbow of Horror, and today I’m sharing horror books with yellow covers. This was actually a tough color, did you know that yellow isn’t very popular for book covers? Especially horror, for some reason. Some of these feature yellow title font instead of being all over yellow, but I think they […]
Music and horror is a natural pairing that works, based on the dozens of examples I’ve read over the years, so it just made sense to put together a list! I’ve read all of these books, although some I read years ago before my blog, so I haven’t written reviews. And obviously, this isn’t a […]
The nitty-gritty: Craig DiLouie uses music as a framework in this dangerous, outrageous good vs. evil headbanger of a story. “Whatever he turned out to be, you have to admit he had star power. Even if his playing drove people mad. Even though people died. The man could goddamn perform.” – Ramona Perez, drummer, the […]
In honor of Pride Month, and as part of my Summer of Horror event, I’m thrilled to present a bunch of upcoming queer horror books! All of these feature queer characters, queer themes, and/or are written by queer authors, and most of them were already on my TBR, I only had to do a little […]
Welcome to Summer of Horror 2025! This is my third year, having started it in 2023, and as usual, I have quite a few summer horror releases on my TBR that I’d love to get to (all of these come out in June, July and August). What better way to make my way through the […]
Summer of Horror 2024 has come to an end, and I read some awesome books! I didn’t get to everything on my list, but that’s OK because I had other genres I needed to read as well. Below is a graphic of the books on my original list, and the ones with an X were […]
The nitty-gritty: 80s nostalgia and slashers come together in this top notch coming-of-age story full of humor, horror and heart. Slashers are in Stephen Graham Jones’ blood, as evidenced by his Indian Lake trilogy and now his latest, I Was a Teenage Slasher. This time we follow the story through the eyes of the killer, […]
It’s been a while since I’ve done an A – Z list, and I thought it would be fun to do a horror version listing book titles A – Z (since I’ve never done one), especially in celebration of Summer of Horror. All of these are horror books I’ve read, except for a couple of […]
Last year I noticed that there was a ridiculous amount of horror titles being released over the summer months, and so I decided to see how many of them I could read. Maybe it’s just me, since I love horror and tend to track it down, but this summer is equally as rich with new […]
