Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. It's Pride Month so let's talk about Guts, Gags and Gore by Rowland Bercy Jr. A collection not for those with a weak stomach. Each novella is extreme, gag inducing and honestly a bit humorous. My Supernatural Ex-Girlfriend I love the idea of a dating app for the supernatural. The different creatures and their bios were so fun. I felt so bad for Ivan and I hope things with Diego end up good

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. It's Pride Month so let's talk about The Bad Things We Did by Chris Archeske For a debut collection, the stories were out of this world good!

06/09/2026 Candace Reviews: Spotlight Review for Pride Month - THE HOME by Judith Sonnet
The Home by Judith Sonnet THE HOME by Judith Sonnet is a delightfully twisted journey that combines small-town horror with cosmic horror in an almost perfect tale. A story that focuses on friends bound by tragedy, how grief and terror ties us, changes us, and can twist us into something else. But maybe it’s more than that too, maybe it forces us to take a look at who really are, who our friends are, how well do we know those that we would blindly follow into Dante’s Inferno w

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
