book
REVIEW — The Hotel (Penny Moonz, 2025)
Sixteen pages is all it takes for horror to unfold in an old hotel.
REVIEW — 21st Century Gothic Poetry (Strange Nocturnal, 2020)
21st Century Gothic Poetry is a short time spent in an absurdly gothic environment that makes my alternative heart delighted with joy. If you want a portal to the decrepit manor of your dreams, read this book.
REVIEW — Poems of Grave Importance (Ridley Mortis)
This time of year is known for being cold and dark, highlighted by warm drinks next to a fireplace. What better way to spend these winter evenings than to read a book of morbid poetry by author Ridley Mortis: Poems of Grave Importance.
REVIEW — Bound by Blood (Shawn David Brink, 2024)
Having just finished his newest work this summer, Brink contacted me again to review Bound by Blood, a tale of brothers in a battle of good versus evil. Challenge accepted.
REVIEW — The Return of Camazotz #1
There’s plot. There’s history. There’s blood. There’s horror. There’s mystery. There’s everything you need in a fast-paced, gory horror comic.
REVIEW — Goosebumps: One Day At Horrorland (R. L. Stine, 1994)
For our third installment of an OG Goosebumps book review, I picked the story from an episode I have seen a million times: One Day at Horrorland.
Harvest Tales & Midnight Revels — The Art of All Hallows Storytelling
Many years ago, I was gifted a book, Harvest Tales & Midnight Revels: Stories for the Waning of the Year. All Hallows’ Eve is the night when the veil between the living and dead is thinnest, so it’s fitting that so many different stories can all relate to the same thing: Halloween.
REVIEW — Humbug Witch (Lorna Balian, 1965)
And we’re back with the second of three Halloween-themed children’s books from my mom’s past (that she has given to me, and that I share with my own kid). This time it’s Humbug Witch, a book about a little girl that dresses up as a witch and has a lot of fun doing so.
REVIEW — Goosebumps: The Haunted School (R. L. Stine, 1997)
I’m continuing my Goosebumps kick with 1997’s The Haunted School. Bell Valley Middle School has some secrets, and new student Tommy gets right in the middle of this ghostly mystery.
