Warn sends his warm regards as he continues his time off for family obligations, but we are sharing his thoughts on SEVEN RABBITS by Timothy King! Enjoy! Seven Rabbits by Timothy King Tall Oak loves their high school football team so much that they will do anything to shield their star players from any kind of controversy that could threaten the season or their college chances. Every year the star players spend a weekend in a secluded cabin to party before they go to college.

EVERY WOMAN KNOWS THIS by Laurel Hightower SYNOPSIS: A never-ending storm rages, tossing a dark and bottomless sea. Tentacled beasts reach from every direction, a battle at every turn, but they've chosen the wrong target. Armed with teeth and sharp weapons of her own, she'll fight until there's nothing left, and then she'll pick herself up and fight again. For this is what we do. Laurel Hightower, author of Below and Crossroads, delivers the blow that shatters the glass ceili

Today, we have another guest review from local Pittsburgh author, Kerry E.B. Black! Check out her thoughts on her most recent read below! And just check out that gorgeous book cover! On Sundays She Picked Flowers by Yah Yah Scholfield Yah Yah Scholfield’s novel, On Sundays She Picked Flowers, grabbed me by my throat from word one and didn’t release its grip until its conclusion. Our lead is an abused woman who’s reached the end of her patience. When her complicated Mama push

Happy Saturday! I did things a little differently today. I took on all collections! They’re all super different, but they all have one thing in common: how well-rounded and great they are. Enjoy! UNDER A BLACK RAINBOW by Adam "Bucho" Rodenberger UNDER A BLACK RAINBOW blew me away. This collection took my favorite types of horror and each story had me in a chokehold from the first sentence. It states in Rodenberger’s biography that he specializes in surrealism, dark fiction, h

Warn from The Yeti Reads & Reviews is still on a family break. In the meantime, check out his thoughts on DISCO RICE by Robert Essig! DISCO RICE By Robert Essig Trey has an excellent job, a loving family, and a taste for the taboo. Trey enjoys eating things that most people would find atrocious, like disco rice, aka maggots. He can't get enough of the tasty little morsels, so much so that it costs him his job, but it ultimately costs him much, much more. It has been a bit sin

A triple threat of reviews today for Micah Castle. All short reads, each one stranger than the last. Micah Castle is an expert at setting tone and atmosphere, then taking the reader through an experience that cannot be predicted or imagined, except by the author himself. First up, THE WOMEN WITHOUT EYES, the longest of the three stories, follows a detective on the case of a serial killer, in a town already being stalked by another madman. Readers begin to see much more to the

Today, we have another guest review from local Pittsburgh author, Kerry E.B. Black! Check out her thoughts on her most recent read below! HUNGERSTONE By Kat Dunn In the Gothic, period novel, Hungerstone, Kat Dunn retells the 1872 Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. However, Dunn’s work firmly embraces justified, feminine rage. For example, Carmilla possesses great agency, making her a mysterious, unaccompanied woman who accepts the shelter of the manor after a carriage accid

EARLY REVIEW ONE NIGHT AT THE SKULL SPARK CLUB By: Bryan Smith Release: 6/26 Page count: KU: TBD Hoopla: TBD Synopsis: Three friends take the night to come together in order to watch one of their favorite bands. A night of drinking, music, and reconciling life… oh, and a bit of blood here and there. Also includes - two stories previously only on his Patreon (which you should ABSOLUTELY join). First line: “One minute Craig King had his eyes fixed on the dark road ahead,

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

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

PERRON MANOR by Lee Mountford Book 1 of the Haunted series What’s not to love about a haunted manor on a vast country estate? When two sisters inherit an old manor, life seems to be looking up for them both. Soon after their arrival, things start happening that make them question each other, their sanity, and the terrible secrets that lie within a hidden study full of disturbing items used in occult rituals.

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

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

Today, we have another guest review from local Pittsburgh author, Kerry E.B. Black! Check out her thoughts on her most recent read below! SMOTHERMOSS by Alisa Alering Set in the Appalachian Mountains during the 1980’s, SMOTHERMOSS by Alisa Alering follows a family of women, focusing primarily on the young sisters. Because of their poverty and “otherness,” both girls are ostracized by their peers. The older of the two caregivers for her elderly grand aunt and her pet rabbits,

Happy Saturday! Today’s set of reviews is probably my most diverse yet, and the most fun I have had both reading and reviewing. These four books are all very different, but they all have something in common—they're all easy five stars, and standout reads for the horror community in general. Enjoy! HORSEFLY by Aron Beauregard “But his bravado quickly dissolved when he saw the army of tiny, illuminated horseflies swarming under the door. As the winged vampires rushed toward him

A Lonely Broadcast By Kel Byron I listened to this on Audible and it was fantastic, with Multiple narrators, and a fully produced soundscape. This is a creature feature story, built around a perfect blend of survival horror meets small town horror. The story follows a young woman, Evelyn, as she begins a new job as a radio DJ back in her hometown of Pine Haven. The radio station itself is a rickety old fire watch tower, built fifty feet up and set at the edge of town, where t

THE SPITE HOUSE By Johnny Compton THE SPITE HOUSE is an incredible haunted house story with more hidden in its layers than one may expect at first glance. A house built out of spite, long ago, that still carries the stains of its past and haunts the town it looms over. Rumors abound, but in whispers, no one willing to risk the wrath of Eunice, the millionaire matriarch of the town. Eric is a quiet man with a secret, traveling town to town with his two daughters, seeking work
