Book Review: Husk by Rachel Autumn Deering

I finished the novella Husk by Rachel Autumn Deering last night before bed... and I am still jaw-dropped like whaaa?!  The following is a brief synopsis of Husk from Goodreads:  "Kevin Brooks returns to his rural Kentucky hometown after a three-year-long tour of duty in Afghanistan. He has lost the grandparents who raised him, his …

Book Review: Husk

Husk by Dave Zeltserman opens up with a young man on the prowl for some meat to bring back to his clan.  Little do we know that the meat he is looking for is that of a living human and he's stalking the rest areas off the interstate.  CANNIBALS! Le gasp!  But what happens when …

Book Review: Behind The Door

Behind The Door by Mary SanGiovanni captivated me from the synopsis that mentions an occult specialist.  It also helped that the cover was so creepy, eerie, and menacing with these hands reaching out behind a door like they were coming for me.  This is the first time I have read a book by SanGiovanni and …

Book Review: Toroa

Toroa is Erik Hofstatter's debut novel and it soars!  On the surface, this book focuses on a girl named Mahi.  Mahi does not know her dad, her mother is the opposite of ideal, and she just met a fire-breather at a local festival who turns her world upside down in a sense.  All we know …

Book Review: Camp Carnage

Book Review: Girls’ Night Out

I immediately wanted to read Girls' Night Out once I saw the cover and then scampered over to Amazon and Goodreads to read the synopsis. A trip to Mexico that ends in a missing person? YES, PLEASE! At first I got a little confused with the narration - it is told in multiple POVs at …

A Night Worms Book Review: Foe

Foe is the first book by Iain Reid that I have come across.  I was not part of an awesome crowd before where I would have known of books like this or like I'm Thinking Of Ending Things.  With that being said, I also really had no insight into who Reid is or what his …

Book Review: The Horror Of It All

The Horror of It All: One Moviegoer's Love Affair with Masked Maniacs, Frightened Virgins, and the Living Dead... by Adam Rockoff is a book that I was HIGHLY looking forward to reading.  But the best part of this book is the mentioning of titles that I may not have thought about in quite some time. …
