My first taste of horror was, no surprise, IT by Stephen King.  I spent summers with my grandparents, spending the day at the library where my grandmother worked. I always picked the biggest and thickest books to read.  I remember the day, … Continue reading →

Posted on June 15, 2017 by Jenn

Excusing all puns, this is quite the chilling read.  This book has a lot going for it.  Not one, but two, incredibly terrifying treks that numb the mind with terror.  It deals with two treks I’ll never take: caving and … Continue reading →

Posted on June 12, 2017 by Jenn

I listened to the audiobook production of this short story.  It was absolutely perfect; I needed a bit of Stephen King in my life get me out of a reading slump.  If only it were a little longer! Gwendy’s character … Continue reading →

I’m going to keep this portion of the review short. Skitter is the second in The Hatching trilogy.  There’s not much that can be discussed without revealing too much, particularly if readers have yet to start the series. While it … Continue reading →

Review: Ararat by Christopher Golden

Posted on May 5, 2017 by Jenn

Christopher Golden excels at crafting the most chilling horror reads. I devoured his previous book, Snowblind, and this most recent novel shared the same fate. Golden uses the setting, in both cases a frigid, treacherous blizzard, as a character within … Continue reading →

Review: Little Heaven by Nick Cutter

Posted on January 6, 2017 by Jenn

Egads, this book is spooky.  Having ready Cutter’s previous works, I thought I was prepared for this one. Clearly, that wasn’t the case.  This is the type of horror that chills you from the core, an evil that reminds me … Continue reading →

Posted on October 24, 2016 by Jenn

I purchased this title upon release after much acclaim by readers whose opinions I trust and value. There’s even a blurb from the king of horror himself on the cover! All of the acclaim was so, so worth it. What … Continue reading →

Review: The Women in the Walls by Amy Lukavics

Posted on October 19, 2016 by Jenn

A few weeks ago, I listened and loved Daughters Unto Devils, the author’s previous work. That title chilled me to the bone.  This one? Not so much. While the concept is chilling (generations of women haunting their descendants) I don’t … Continue reading →
