The nitty-gritty: Although I didn’t enjoy all the stories in this collection, I’m still a big fan of Mamatas and his unending, quirky imagination, and some of these stories will be hard to forget. I have read and enjoyed a couple of Nick Mamatas’ novels, and I thought it would be interesting to see how […]

The nitty-gritty: Lush imagery and beautiful writing make this a stand-out YA fantasy, despite some issues I had with one of the characters. Keeper of the Bees, as I found out after I requested it, is a companion novel to Blackbird of the Gallows, which got lots of rave reviews from the blogging community last […]
The nitty-gritty: Delightfully twisted and disturbing, The Mouth of the Dark is part Tales from the Dark Side, part Poltergeist, and completely bat shit crazy. The launch of small publisher Flame Tree Press caught my attention last month when they were blasted all over the internet—good marketing, guys!—and I was curious enough to head over […]

The nitty-gritty: Disturbing and atmospheric, The Chrysalis combines traditional horror elements with solid character development and delivers a cautionary tale about addiction. The Chrysalis is being described by a lot of readers on Goodreads as “science fiction,” but I just don’t get that. To me, this was pretty clearly a horror story, and while it […]

Last month I did something completely new to me, and I had SO. MUCH. FUN. I’m not a Bookstagramer by any means, but I have been on Instagram for several years and I’m getting into the Bookstagram community more and more. I happened upon a month-long challenge where you post a photo of a horror […]
Happy September, everyone! As you read this, I am in Boston getting my daughter moved into her dorm, and we’re spending our final moments together until she comes home at Christmastime. My son goes back to school in about three weeks, and then it’s going to be pretty quiet around here, which I’m both looking […]
