Happy Saturday! It’s only the second week of November and I have come bearing three more five-star reviews!! They’re all fantastic reads and authors, so let’s jump right into it! INSANE By Emery LeeAnn " From the outside I’m sure I look like a normal girl. Except you won’t see me. My Uncle keeps me locked in a barn. Convinced I am possessed. I mean seriously, if I was possessed, wouldn’t I be able to break free from the locks?" I started reading Emery LeeAnn in the last half

Well, well, well. We meet again! It's Friday, and that means another review. Going to revisit an older review of mine. An author I really enjoy, and I think you will too. Donut Quest by Jerry Blaze Mmmmm donuts, who doesn't love a good donut? Just ask David. Meet David, just your average guy enjoying his morning coffee. When he suddenly gets a craving for donuts. This urge propels our hero on a quest to satisfy his craving for that delicious treat, but the world has other pl

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. And will definitely be in my list of top reads for the year. This. Book. Is. So. Good! Norse folk horror combined with mental illness horror. 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

Today's breakdown is for the audiobook of "Beyond The Breach: Battle Of The Banshees" by Candace Nola : Continuing after the events of Breach, we find ourselves back in the wondrously mysterious otherworld from the first book. We get an expanded look at some of the creatures found there and I love the imagination and creativity behind the realm and I really enjoyed painting a more detailed picture of it in my mind. A fierce battle wages within these pages, it is intense and a

While this is my last review post for GenreBlast 2025 nominees, I am so honored to have witnessed true brilliance in the film industry. I watched a total of 85 films (both feature and short) and somehow, someway not a single film was anything more than pure excellence. The indie film community has a lot to look forward to with these writers and filmmakers at the helm. I truly hope to see all of your work next year and thank you for sharing your love with so many. Title : GUS

PROSPER’S DEMON By : KJ Parker Release : 1/28/20 Page count : 112 KU : No      Hoopla : Synopsis : What do you do when you have a gift so few have? You do demon extraction - but remember there are rules and the same demons over and over. First line : “I have an idea you aren’t going to like me very much.” Favorite line : “Now, conceding that Prospero was at least 40 percent full of stuff that makes roses grow…” “Sometimes I’m so stupid, I’m amazed I manage to breathe.” (Chris

This series will be showcased on my Patreon first, every Friday this fall and winter, through early 2026. If you are not a patron, look for the new author spotlight to appear here on the blog every Saturday! These will be for incredibly talented, but lesser known, authors that truly deserve a spotlight on their work! As is our mission here at Uncomfortably Dark, we want to be a community support and while how we do that may change over time, we will always find a way to shed

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone had a super spooky Halloween! Today’s haunted location brings us to St. Louis, MO. The Lemp Mansion offers a whole lot of family drama and death… and beer. Let’s dive in. This one is a doozie! The Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, Missouri. Photo credit: www.lempmansion.com QUICK HISTORY : William J. Lemp builds a mansion in the 1860s. William uses the mansion as both the family home and an office for his brewery. He is also the son of the brewery’s f

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! I can’t believe it’s already November. Luckily, we’re starting the month off really strong with three phenomenal books. Spoiler, they’re all five stars! LOONEY! By Stephen Kozeniewski and Gavin Dillinger "Walk down the street.   Disregard the marijuana cigarette-smoking Crock O. Dial t-shirts or the Canyon Carl-urinating-onto-a-disliked-motor-vehicle-brand bumper sticker knock-offs which, were they themselves legitima

Happy Halloween, everyone! This Halloween, I'm bringing you a story that has my favorite horror trope, the crazy family. I believe my fascination with this trope began when I first saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and just grew from there. So now whenever I see a story with a crazy family, it's an instant buy. With that being said, I bring you today's review……. Rest Stop 2: Road to Hell By: Eric Butler Momma and the clan are back and still raising hell. A mother trying to find

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

Exploring The Labyrinth In this series, I will be reading every Brian Keene book that has been published (and is still available in print) in order of original publication and then producing an essay on it. With the exception of Girl On The Glider, The Triangle Of Belief, and End Of The Road, these essays will be based upon a first read of the books concerned. The article will assume you’ve read the book, and you should expect MASSIVE spoilers. I hope you enjoy my voyage of d

Today's breakdown is for the audiobook of "Breach" by Candace Nola : It's no secret that I've been a fan of Candace's work for years now, but I had never read her very first efforts as my journey with her began with Hank Flynn. Deciding to go back to where it all started proved to be very worthwhile as this book was full of imagination and heart, Fantasy and Horror. It drives a strong narrative that deals with trauma and loss but in a clever multidimensional way that reminds

HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!! THE SLEEPY HOLLOW INCIDENT: A GOTHIC TALE! by PD Alleva  is a four-book series. Over the next couple of months, Candace Nola  and I will be taking on the series during its rapid release. Today is release day for book TWO!! THE SLEEPY HOLLOW INCIDENT: BOOK TWO (Parts 3&4): A GOTHIC TALE! By PD Alleva Book two starts right where book one ends. I waited a couple of weeks between the two but found I had no issues picking up where I had left off and all the ma

It's Halloween week; I hope you've been reading whatever it is that terrifies you most! THEY COME FROM WITHIN by Jason Nickey 1. I love when a collection really encapsulates the range of an author, and I’d say They Come From Within does that for Nickey. This one really spans everything: quiet to extreme, real-life to monster/paranormal, situations that makes you think to straight in your face scares. I wasn’t sure what each story would bring which made each beginning doubly e

WONDERLAND NOMINEE GOD IS WEARING BLACK By : Kelby Losack Release : 11/27/23 Page count : 124 KU : No         Hoopla : No Synopsis : Thirteen stories that will make the reader feel the gritty and raw side of life - whether they want to or not. First line : “They got this deal at Waffle King where if you get their logo permanently inked in your skin, you can go in and cop a free combo meal as much as once a week.” Favorite line(s ): “I love you, and I’m sorry.” “The night she

DEATH Directed by : Jaysen Buterin Country : US   Run Time : 19 minutes Themes : Grief Content Warning : Death of a parent Synopsis : A man dials his deceased father’s phone number one night and it changes his life forever.
