SAWKILL GIRLS by Claire Legrand – Review

SAWKILL GIRLS by Claire Legrand – Review
Posted October 22, 2018 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 17 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Stranger Things in this addictively creepy tale of evil entities, friendships and girl power. This is my first Claire Legrand book, believe it or not, but it won’t be my last. I had a great time with Sawkill Girls, a young adult horror story that draws its strength […]

WE SOLD OUR SOULS by Grady Hendrix – Review

WE SOLD OUR SOULS by Grady Hendrix – Review
Posted September 27, 2018 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 40 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Grady Hendrix’s latest hums with frenetic energy, a dark and dangerous, pulse-pounding love letter to the power of music. A girl with a guitar never has to apologize for anything. I became a Grady Hendrix fan after reading Horrorstör several years ago, and I enjoyed My Best Friend’s Exorcism (although not quite as […]

THE NIGHT CROSSING by Robert Masello – Review

THE NIGHT CROSSING by Robert Masello – Review
Posted September 24, 2018 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 28 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Full of mystery and adventure, The Night Crossing offers up fascinating history and supernatural eeriness in equal measure. I had no idea what to expect when I started reading The Night Crossing, only that real life author Bram Stoker was the main character in the story. I was sort of expecting a tale […]

Posted September 11, 2018 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 18 Comments

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 MOUTH OF THE DARK by Tim Waggoner – Review

THE MOUTH OF THE DARK by Tim Waggoner – Review
Posted September 10, 2018 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 27 Comments

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 CHRYSALIS by Brendan Deneen – Review

THE CHRYSALIS by Brendan Deneen – Review
Posted September 6, 2018 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 22 Comments

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 […]
