VOODOO HEART by John Everson – Review

VOODOO HEART by John Everson – Review
Posted November 5, 2020 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 23 Comments

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 […]

Posted November 2, 2020 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 36 Comments

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.

It really was a joy to read a new T. Kingfisher (aka Ursula Vernon) novel, which turned out to be much in […]

RING SHOUT by P. Djèlí Clark – Review
Posted October 19, 2020 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 54 Comments

The nitty-gritty: P. Djèlí Clark’s tale of otherworldly horror is one of the best I’ve read, an emotional tour de force of good versus evil, upsetting at times, but ultimately uplifting and full of joy. Sadie’s no sniper. But she ain’t lying. Girl can shoot the wings off a fly. Never one day in Uncle […]
