Happy Saturday! No intro for these three, let’s dive right in! THE DWELLING by Judith Sonnet "There was something about the house, as simple as it was, that told her to turn and walk away. Something in the way the air now smelled, the way the rain fell like hot grease from a pan, the way the hairs on her arms and the back of her neck stood upright, despite being slicked by the elements. It was electric. It was powerful. It was scary." *** "Monsters were everywhere, flitting i

Happy Saturday! Today’s reviews have such a good range! An Uncomfortably Dark Horror release/preorder, a book with some solid comedy attached, and a page-turning psych thriller with some heavy horror elements. Enjoy! CANIS LUPUS HUMANUS by PJ Verfall “We are above you all. We rule what we survey, and we survey everything.” Gritty but smooth. Fast paced but easy to follow. Page turning but never wanting it to end. Original take on a classic monster. Violent and depraved but po

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

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

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

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

Happy Saturday! Today I wanted to skip an intro completely because these five books are too incredible to even waste time with this nonsense. So, on that note, ENJOY! VICAR OF FISTS by John Baltisberger " I finally let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Goddamn. I wondered if I should stop thinking goddamn so much now that I was the pope. Probably, but still, that ass, GODDAMN! I shook my head and followed her out of the shop like a good dog." VICAR OF FISTS by John Ba

Happy Saturday! Today I did things a little differently than usual. Kinda. I feel as though these reviews get a little wild and unhinged, but in the best ways possible—and when I say unhinged, I mean that I went ahead and used multiple quotes for several of the books and censored some of the quotes. If you know me, you know I don’t censor anything. So, that alone should say something. Anyway, I went a bit longer on these, so let’s skip the small talk and dive right in! Enjoy!

Happy Saturday! We’re starting April off strong with the reviews I have today! Two are new-to-me authors, and one is from a very familiar author. The one thing they all have in common is that they’re phenomenal writers, and I cannot recommend their books enough! Enjoy! PUMPKIN SEEDS by Tyler Downs “Burnt goddess of night, Naked in your bed of bones, I welcome you to swim again, In a sea of skulls and tongues, Upon your throne of spines, Amid your maze of madness, Let us gaze

Happy Saturday! This week, I bring you four books that hit so hard it took everything in my power not to use the F word at least ten times per review. I somehow managed not to use it at all, I think. Anyway, I cannot praise these books enough. Absolutely amazing. And as usual, a little something for everyone. Enjoy! AT THE HOUR OF VIOLENCE by Robert Essig " It was as if there was hopelessness trapped behind the façade, trying desperately to get through." Wow! This book was in

Happy Saturday! Spoiler alert, today’s books were all easy five stars for me! I bring you some Eric Butler , which you can never go wrong with, two Reekfeel stories, and one by Angelique Jordonna—one of my favorite women in horror! Oh, and three out of four of these can be found on Godless! That being said… enjoy! THE BARGAIN by Eric Butler “Only a fool isn't terrified of that old woman. She pulled her shawl tighter around her shoulders and entered the woods. Guess tonight, I

Happy Saturday! Today I come bearing two amazing Godless finds and a new release that will live rent free in my head for life. Enjoy! PLÜSCHOW AND THE SPINNING MAN By Steve Berman "I wonder if it was the distraction any of us have when a pretty thing presents itself. Or was it the distraction of necessity?" This book is one of the reasons I love Godless. There are so many hidden gems to be found! PLÜSCHOW AND THE SPINNING MAN is one of those stories I would consider brilliant

Happy Saturday! Today, I bring you reviews for two absolutely incredible new releases. I cannot praise either one of these enough. Both are so easy to give five stars to. The two authors who wrote these books are both absolutely brilliant and deserve all the praise possible. ENJOY! THE DENIZENS By Brennan LaFaro WOW! What a read! This book had me in a chokehold from the first couple of pages. What an absolutely amazing story. Grief, small town, the dead that don’t die, sec

Happy Saturday and Happy Valentine’s Day! There is a zero percent chance that I am bringing you any sort of lovey-dovey, happily ever after romance. But there is a one hundred percent chance that I am bringing the absolute horrors. So, grab a box of chocolate, throw some rose petals around, and embrace the chaos! REAL TELEVISION By Matthew Salinas Once the public was turned into a frantic mess, the rest of the pieces silently fell into place, like a painted backdrop. Now the

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 Saturday! Back again with some great reads. Let's not even waste time, and let's just dive right in! 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. From the tone to the prose, to the vibe in general… I have genuinely enjoyed everything I have read by him. THE DINNER SHOW AND OTHER CONSUMPTIONS is no different as far as my love

Happy Saturday! Per usual, I come bearing the goods. Let's just do this! RUNTS By Daniel J. Volpe "Human meat roasted over the open flames of the fireplace. The smell was intoxicating, and the Runts couldn't wait to eat. It had been years since they had human flesh; not since Pickles died and they risked eating him." RUNTS is absolutely one of the most fun books I have read in a while! Volpe nailed it with this one, and I NEED a sequel in my life asap. There should be zero q

Happy Saturday! Yes, you read the headline correctly… today I take on the backstory that allegedly inspired the cult classic movie, The Blair Witch Project! There are a lot of moving pieces to this one, but I think I was able to nail most of it down in a cohesive manner. I hope, lol. Enjoy! Photo from bloody-disgusting.com Burkittsville is a town located in western Maryland, with a population of around 145 people. It is most notorious for being the town where The Blair Witch

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year! I am beyond excited to see what 2026 has in store. So far, so good, and today I am thrilled to bring you reviews for these new releases. First, we have John Ward’s debut adult horror novel, then we try not to die in Mark Tullius’s first solo entry into the beloved interactive series! Without further ado, let’s dive right in! A BLACKENED HEART, A BLACKENED SOUL By John Ward “People always think, ‘Oh, that will never

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone who celebrated had a wonderful holiday! This is the last Haunted Location for 2025, and I am really excited for this one. It has a hellacious past and is now on my bucket list of places to visit. Enjoy! Oh, and Happy New Year!!! The Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Photo from: historichotels.org The Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, is known as “America’s Most Haunted Hotel,” and from the research I did on this place, I can
