VOODOO HEART by John Everson – Review

VOODOO HEART by John Everson – Review

The nitty-gritty: A thoroughly entertaining mystery with an unappealing protagonist, Voodoo Heart was a fun read but ultimately a mixed bag for me. I was eager to dive into this horror/noir mystery by the prolific John Everson, especially when I found out that the story is set in New Orleans and involves voodoo. Can a […]

The nitty-gritty: Stylish and creepy, The Remaking takes inspiration from a real life ghost story and twists it into a macabre homage to horror movies.  I’m so glad I received a surprise copy of the new paperback release of The Remaking from the publisher, because otherwise I might have missed it altogether.

The nitty-gritty: Shocking, brutal, funny, and heartbreaking, Mongrels is my new favorite werewolf story. This is the way werewolf stories go. Never any proof. Just a story that keeps changing, like it’s twisting back on itself, biting its own stomach to chew the poison out. I’m making an attempt to catch up with some of […]
