Turns out purple isn’t a very popular color for horror covers, but I’ve managed to find eleven that have purple in them (some are more purple than others!) I have only read four of these, and five are on my TBR. The Last Witch by C.J. Cooke Play Nice by Rachel Harrison House of Monstrous […]
The nitty-gritty: Carnival horror meets gross-out humor in this wickedly funny, touching tale about memory, friendship and port-a-potties. “And you’re saying he’s coming in through the port-a-potties?” “Portal-potties. Sorta like Doctor Who, except the Tardis is a shitter.” “Tardis?” “Goddamn, Gaynes, like a time machine.” What if a port-a-potty was a portal-potty? That’s the idea […]
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 […]
The nitty-gritty: Chuck Tingle mixes absurdity and heartfelt emotion in this story about saving the world, a weird (and sometimes confusing) mash-up of sci-fi and horror. Chuck Tingle always comes up with unexpected ideas, and Lucky Day might be his most original and unusual book yet. First a confession: I nearly set this book aside. […]
The nitty-gritty: A magical AI program is the catalyst for this high stakes tale, complete with humor, spice and engaging characters. # I AM MAGIC. ASK ME ANYTHING I follow Liz Shipton on Instagram, so I knew what I was in for when I picked up her latest. And I was not disappointed! Dot Slash […]
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. So, it’s been a week. I’ve been struggling with technical issues on my blog since last Monday, and trying without any success to […]
The nitty-gritty: A dangerous game of cat and mouse, a maze-like house, and a family curse—all these elements and more make up House of Monstrous Women, an excellent horror story rooted in Filipino folklore. “The Ranoco house wasn’t a normal house, by anyone’s definition. It sprawled on the outside. But inside? She felt like she […]
The nitty-gritty: The characters steal the show in this fun, fast-paced YA supernatural mystery, a great blend of humor, romance and creepy intrigue. Susan Dennard is one author I will break my “no YA” rule for, and I’m very happy I had the chance to read The Executioners Three, which appears to be a standalone […]
This week I’m featuring books with wallpaper on the cover. Most of these are horror or thriller books, and yes, not all of the wallpaper featured is “creepy.” In fact, some of these aren’t technically wallpaper, lol. But still, I love the look of these covers together. I also want to mention that all of […]
The nitty-gritty: A sweet, uplifting story about finding yourself, complete with witchy magic and adorable spiders. Now that I’ve read Cackle, I’m officially caught up on Rachel Harrison’s backlist (except for her short story collection Bad Dolls, which I’m not interested in). And Cackle was a lot of fun! This is much lighter than some […]
