2-5-2026 Latham's Last Words: Escapement by Kristopher Rufty
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

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

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. Continuing on with my reviews of the Ludo Carstairs Series by F.R. Jameson. Supernatural thrillers with an X-Files feel. The Undead Ravens Book 5 Once again Jameson has delighted and entertained me with the fifth book in this series. Ludo Carstairs and Michael Garris are people I would love to have a conversation with, they are just so real, so human, that I feel like they live next door. Th

1-15-2026 Latham's Last Words: F.R. Jameson's Ludo Carstairs series
Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. The next two weeks I'll be posting my reviews of the Ludo Carstairs Series by F.R. Jameson. Supernatural thrillers with an X-Files feel. The Nemesis Touch Book 1 I had such a great time reading this book and I had a very hard time putting it down. It's kind of a cross between XFiles and Supernatural. Fast paced with amazingly developed characters. I actually even liked the villain of the sto

11-6-2025 Latham's Last Words: The Companions We Lose by Micah Castle
Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. This week's review is being released on November 7th.

A man who's lost his pet and is battling almost crippling OCD. The God Fenrir and a cult wanting to bring about Ragnarok. This book will not fail to entertain you and touch your heart. I was not pre

10-30-2025 Latham's Last Words: Allhallow's Eve by Richard Laymon
Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. This week's review is another Halloween read, Allhallow's Eve by Richard Laymon. Not my favorite Halloween read, but still enjoyable. I've read several books by Laymon, and I find that the ones that should be more horror focused, are firmly in the Ok range for me. While I did enjoy this book, it kind of fell flat for me, especially the ending. I also would have liked for it to be more Hallow

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. This week's review is another Halloween read, Mischief Night Massacre by Jason Parent. An amazingly spooky collection of Halloween stories. What can I say other than this collection of Halloween horror should be on everyone's reading list for spooky season. Ten stories that bring Halloween to life. The stories are the perfect sampling of creature features, slashers, supernatural horror and c

10-16-2025 Latham's Last Words: The Jack O'Lantern Men by Lee Allen
Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. This week's review is another Halloween read, The Jack O'Lantern Men by Lee Allen. Not your typical Halloween story! A surprise 5 stars! I grabbed this book simply because of the title and cover since it's October and I try to read as many Halloween books as I can. I expected scary Jack O'lantern faced creatures on a bloody rampage. But this book is way more than that. Way deeper. Way more
