Happy Goat Horror
We review mostly indie horror books, all kinds of books (novels, short story collections, anthologies, comics, etc), and all kinds of horror, so basically anything that fits under the horror umbrella. Anything from the quietest horror that can barely be classed as "horror" to the most extreme, stomach-turning content.

Diversity in Horror
I only review books that fall into the horror genre and are diverse reads preferably "own voices". This means your book needs to contain a major character, preferably the protagonist, who is BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, or disabled. I also give preference to books written by minority authors. I'll review any kind of horror, but if there's graphic sexual assault, rape, animal abuse or CSA I appreciate if I'm given a warning beforehand.

Mindy Rose
My name is Mindy, I'm open to reviewing pretty much anything aside from books that deal largely in animal cruelty/violence and books where the main plot point is "this person is fat and that is horrifying and gross."
I review and rate everything I read on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/51029452-mindy-rose

I'm also a bookseller at B&N so I'm always trying to find new indie horror to try to get on the shelves at my store.
