Happy Saturday! We made it to February! This week brings a good range and something for everyone. Enjoy! VERY VIOLENT GHOSTS By R.J. Benetti “Reshooting the forever-film… the reels spin without end… powered by our remembered suffering.” This was hands down the hardest ARC I have ever received that I was asked to keep under wraps. Why? Because Benetti came out and did something insanely special with this one. IT’S DEEP. If you’ve ever read Benetti , you know things can go a li

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you had a wonderful week, and a big thank you for swinging by.

Let's take a moment and meet…… Buttons by Jennifer Osborn Welcome to Cedar Grove, a quiet little town with an unfortunate problem. A killer clown named

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. I celebrate FebruRufty each February so it's fitting to have one of his books as my first review of the month. Escapement is a collection of 3 novellas and would be a great introduction to his work. Excellent! I'm a big fan of Rufty's writing so it's no surprise I loved this collection of novellettes. Each one offered a different brand of horror. Scraps was the most extreme of the three. I

Happy Saturday! This week is a super short one, but I really love it. The ghost here seems pretty handy if you ask me, and I went to college in the area, so I spent quite a few years living within eyeshot of this location!

The structure was requested by the affluent locals who want

THE DINNER SHOW AND OTHER CONSUMPTIONS By Ben Arzate Arzate was a new-to-me author for 2025, and someone I really hope to read a ton of in 2026. I absolutely love everything about his writing.

The Hole by KD Davies Paul is on a cruise, having the time of his life. While taking a bathroom break, Paul notices signs that state, 'Do not flush while seated on the toilet.'

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. This post is going to be some books that I think more people should be talking about. One Grimm Night by Chad Nicholas No question about it, this book gets 5 big stars. Grimm's fairy tales like you've never read before. One night, six people in a cabin on a stormy night in the forest. Little by little the characters' identities are revealed. Little by little the secrets and traumas of the ch
