Today is the final Friday of Summer of Horror 2025, and I’ve brought together one last “color” gallery of horror: black. Of all the colors (and I realize black isn’t technically a color, but let’s go with it), black screams “horror.” Here are eleven books I’ve either read or want to read: Crawlspace by Adam […]
The nitty-gritty: The giant lizard steals the show in Jackson Ford’s first foray into fantasy, an enjoyable but uneven story. It pains me to give anything by Jackson Ford a middling rating, but unfortunately The Bone Raiders didn’t completely work for me. As someone who is backing away from reading a lot of fantasy these […]
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: Academic rivalry, romance and past trauma come together in Sara Raasch’s new series opener. I’m a big fan of Sara Raasch’s Royals and Romance series, so I was excited to see she’s started yet another series called Magic and Romance. These are all MM romances (at least so far), and her latest book […]
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. We had a lovely thunderstorm yesterday! It rained for a couple of hours and there was a lot of loud thunder. I loved […]

Welcome to Over-Booked, where I share my latest and greatest book acquisitions! There is a new blog hosting Stacking the Shelves, so do check out Reading Reality for more information! I realize there is one more week in the month, but next Saturday I already have another post planned (my Summer of Horror wrap up!) […]
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 […]

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. […]
