Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. Today I am reviewing Thin Red Membrane by John James Minster and The Elevator Game by Z. Martin Thin Red Membrane by John James Minster Minster really knows how to write occult horror, with a bit of folk horror thrown in This collection of four tales takes you through time, through different locations and different cultures. A very diverse collection which is refreshing actually. The theme o

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

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. Today I have two reviews for you. Out Of The Drowning Deep by A. C. Wise and Monkey Bones by Rob Smales. Out of the Drowning Deep by A.C. Wise What do an angel, an outdated automaton and a recovering drug addict have in common? They're all trying to solve the mystery of the Pope's murder. But the mystery is just the mechanism to being these three together. A sci-fi religious cosmic horror

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. Matthew Cash is one of my favorite authors. He writes in so many subgenres of horror. This Autonomous God Now this is religious horror. I dare say some would consider this book blasphemy. But that's ok. Horror is meant to make the reader uncomfortable. The story will make you think and some parts will make you squirm with it's grotesqueness. It's not overly extreme, but there are some parts

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. My last post for Women In Horror Month includes three amazing authors, Tanisha Stewart, L. Marie Wood and Izzy Von. The Deadbeat by Tanisha Stewart What a wild ride! Very enjoyable read with great characters and a fast paced plot. Emotionally charged, you can feel Belle and Jessie's grief over the loss of their mother and their anger at their father. A case of revenge gone wrong, toxic fami

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. It's Women in Horror Month and I want to share some reviews from one of my favorite women in horror, Nat Whiston. Death Walks With Me A mixture of horror and dark fantasy, this is a refreshing new take on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Hooked from the beginning, I am so invested in this world and it's characters. Each one, except Abbadon, will find a way into your heart. I love books t

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. It's Women in Horror Month and I wanted to mention a book that is amazing and isn't talked about enough, Keeping Adam's Secrets by AC Whitt. As a mother, how far would you go to protect your child? In this book, that is exactly the question that gets asked. This book escalated quickly and was a ride through crazy town that I didn't want to stay on, but I didn't want to get off of either. It'

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. It's Women in Horror Month and I wanted to start off with Flowers For The Sea by Zin E. Rocklyn. Going through my books I found this one and I can't remember when or where I got it, but I'm so glad I did! I enjoyed it very much. The author brought you right into the world they created from the first page. How life on the ship was described and how the characters adapted to that life made me

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. It's Black History Month so it's the perfect time to talk about The Dating App Horrors Series. All written by Black female horror authors. I haven't read the entire series, but they are for sure on my TBR! The Perfect Profile by Toni Larue Intense read! The characters are so real you think they're sitting next to you. Complex people, each with their own struggles. I was expecting your typic

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. It's Black History Month so it's the perfect time to talk about the Unholy Slaying Agency series by Guy Quintero. Book One: A Whisper In The Dark From the first to the last page it's non stop action. You barely get a chance to breathe before something else is happening. A full speed ahead adrenaline rush of a story. Military action meets occult horror sprinkled with all kinds of supernatural

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

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

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

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, 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
