Happy Saturday! What do today’s Uncomfortably Dark reviews have in common? The three authors are incredibly talented and amazing people. And all three of their books are an easy five stars. Without a doubt. Enjoy! THE DEAD HEART by Lucas Milliron "Dead men didn't argue. They never complained about their shortcomings or apologized for cumming too quickly. They never spilled seed or forgot to pull out or try their bullshit machismo banter. The dead played best, the silent, subm

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 cannot even begin to contain my excitement with the three books and three authors featured today. All amazing. Truly. Enjoy! LOVELY FLESH by Michael Stone "...So we took a stand. We decided we needed to educate our students on what beauty really is. It isn’t what’s on the surface. It’s what’s within. Here at PRP, we teach them a deeper truth: beauty is a moment that resonates with the human spirit—authenticity, meaning, connection, and transformation.” Sigh.

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

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. I do love extreme/splatterpunk horror and when I saw the table of contents for this anthology I knew it was going to be a banger. And I was right! Gorefest With the amount of horror talent in the table of contents there's no chance this wouldn't be an awesome, gruesome, gory, disgusting good time. F**kin Maggots by Natasha Sinclair A brutal rock and roll story that was unexpectedly lewd and

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! 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! Buckle up. Today I have four amazing books to tell you about! It’s going to get pretty lengthy, so let’s skip the intro and dive right in! Enjoy! TOWHEAD by Jason Nickey “She took a deep breath and slowly approached the boy. ‘Here goes nothing,’ she said, clutching her cross necklace with her left hand and placing her right hand on the boy's forehead. ‘Heavenly father, I ask that you look over this poor child and protect him from the evils of this world. I ask

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

Warn is on a break to handle some family health issues and will be back soon. I'll be sharing a few of his oldie but goodies, featuring some women authors, for this month! First up, his review for Megan Stockton's PINK NEON! Pink Neon by Megan Stockton It's a dangerous job in the sex worker industry. You never know what can happen. Just ask Tansi. Tansi, new to the scene, learns this quickly when she makes the cardinal mistake of having a bond with a mysterious client named M

We're coming to you all live from Williamsburg, Virginia, where Scares That Cares is happening this weekend! I have a full day of convention stuff to attend, so we’ll keep the intro short. Today, I brought you three super depraved books. Got a trigger warning? I can guarantee one of these books touches upon it, but they’re all easy five-star reads for Splatterpunk and Extreme Horror lovers! ENJOY!!! MADE A MONSTER By Rob Nelson I was made a monster, and now I intend to act as

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
