Happy Saturday! Today I come with two books over 400 pages, and one that’s not too far behind. So once again for this week, let’s skip the cute intro and just dive right in! I DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS WORLD ANYMORE by Kristopher Triana "Penitentiary is derived from penance. You know, like monks who do their penance in a temple or monastery or wherever. You serve your time to become worthy of righteousness." He smirked. "I used to think that defined just the inmates. Now think it

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. It's AAPI Heritage month and I would be remiss on featuring my all time favorite werewolf novel, Moon Dance by SP Somtow. Moon Dance Set in 1900's America, this is an immersive read that delves not only into the European lore of the werewolf, but indigenous werewolf lore. The combination of the two make for one of the most brilliantly written werewolf stories ever. As soon as I started readi

METAMORPHOSIS by Ross Jeffery Did someone call for unhinged? Jeffery nails it in this disturbing tale of grief, revenge, and heartbreak. With a truly unique concept and powerful emotional trauma soaking every page, Metamorphosis is a must read. Get it on Amazon. THE SORROWS by Jonathan Janz Janz is a modern-day master of horror with the heart of a wordsmith from a bygone era. The Sorrows takes the reader to a place built by violence, steeped in darkness, and waiting to devour

Today, we have another guest review from local Pittsburgh author, Kerry E.B. Black! Check out her thoughts on her most recent read below! Holly Horror by Michelle Jabes Corpora Michelle Jabes Corpora’s YA novel, Holly Horror (book one) urges, “Playmate, come out and play with me…” After a divorce, a woman moves her family to a family home in Massachusetts. The Hobbie House is known by locals as “The Horror House” because of a mysterious disappearance and reported hauntings. T

Happy Saturday! I don’t have a cute intro today. These books are far too good to even come up with something cheeky to say. Let’s just dive in. Enjoy! CANDY DISH by Mattew Lutton “cacophony” Lutton isn’t new to me as a person, but he is new to me as an author in the sense that other than perhaps in an anthology, this is the first time I really sat down and read one of his books and now a review. It’s funny how this one in particular came to be. I sometimes make posts and ask

Sharing an older but awesome review worth repeating in Warn's absence. He will be back but is currently in need of some family time. Are you ready for adventure? Do you find urban exploration fascinating? If you said yes to both those questions, then I highly recommend taking a tour…… # DEADENDTOURS: Yardley's Cross by Ashley Lister They're back! Billy, Tina, and Cal are back for another urbex adventure. This time the team tackles the story of Yardley's Cross, a hamlet that

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. Today I am reviewing Night Terrors An Anthology of Horror by Blood Bound Books Night Terrors An Anthology of Horror Out of the 31 authors in this anthology, I was only familiar with one, Robert Essig. Out of 31 stories there was only one story I felt Meh about. Blood Bound Books' first ever anthology from 2010 was a banger! I'm disappointed that the 30 authors I wasn't familiar with aren't m

Have you missed this incredible novella from Amanda Headlee? Be sure to pick it up now! Amanda's work is timely, relevant, and chilling. THIS IS HOW A VILLAIN IS MADE is not to be missed! THIS IS HOW A VILLAIN IS MADE by Amanda Headlee Fleeing her father's cruelty, Beatrix Beaumont arrives in Yellow Creek City with little more than a name and a will to survive. When she lands work as a caretaker in the home of a respected town leader, it seems like a stroke of luck. But the

Six by Mark Cassell “Six” is exactly what you’d think. Six creepy short stories from the twisted mind of Mark Cassell. This will be a short review, and it is a short book, a quick read but it does not skimp on quality. The quality of these stories is top-notch and full of terror, and chills. “Skin” completely creeped me out as I read about Gloria’s discovery in the basement, in her frantic search for her husband, after hearing a scream rise up from below. In a marriage plague

SPIDERS ON A SHIP BY STACI LAYNE WILSON I just finished listening to this on Audible and let me start by saying this does not go how you think it might go. The title may imply something like a 'fun' horror story such as "Snakes on a Plane" or something along the lines of "Sharknado." I assure you that is not even close. First, the synopsis: When jealousy awakens ancient forces, a dream vacation becomes a floating nightmare. Christopher Webb, the Amazing Spider-Mage, brings h

NO LAUGHING MATTER By M Ennenbach Everyone loves a circus until they forcefully abduct people off the streets of the city. A Cyberpunk novella from the author of Blobert. Praise for M Ennenbach! "When I say that Mike is a stellar storyteller, I mean that in every sense of the word. He IS his own genre. There's no one like him and there never will be." — Warn Iverson, from the Yeti Reads and Reviews Cover art by the daughter of M Ennenbach. Cover formatting by RJ Roles. Edited

Can Chris realize she may be crossing the line before it’s too late? First line: “The first time Chris buried a part of herself by her son’s roadside cross, it was an accident.” Favorite line: “She believed in a smiling sacrifice.” Thoughts: Well, I needed a good cry and to renew my stock in Kleenex.

WE PAINT OUR FACES WITH THE ASHES OF OUR DEAD The New Collection from Nikolas P. Robinson! Featuring an introduction from Lucas Mangum! When an author puts a short story collection together, they are sifting through the ashes in the hope of finding something valuable and breathing new life into things that were dead.
