horror, true crime, and mystery book reviews
You guys... I've been reviewing a lot of books here over the last 6 months or so, and you've all come to know me as someone who likes creepy stuff. Because of this, I fear that you may think I am "reading too many of those spooky books" or I have let myself get taken… Continue reading My Own (Real Life) Ghost Story
Oh, what I'd give to be young again. Sure, high school was rough and being a teenager came with all kinds of obstacles, but wouldn't it be nice to experience those feelings of ❤first love❤ again? Work at the movie rental store with your silly friends? Not pay f*cking bills, perhaps? We all had our… Continue reading There’s Someone Inside Your House | Stephanie Perkins | Book Review
First, a short history lesson... In high school we are taught about many important events in our history classes; World War II, Pearl Harbor, the Civil Rights Movement, and The Great Depression, just to name a few.

You guys... 😢 I am sad to say that this book may have completely changed my feelings on old school 70's-90's horror books! Horror movies are something that I have always been excited and passionate about ever since I was a wee young kid. I like most all kinds of horror: The goofy, the truly… Continue reading The Devil’s End | D.A. Fowler | Book Review
It seems all too common for people to graduate high school and promise to never pick up a book again, as if all forms of reading are a punishment. Most people I know outside of my family, partner, Instagram, and this blog, do not read books. I used to be like that too, I guess;… Continue reading The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires | Grady Hendrix | Book Review
Personally, I love disco! Not just the music, but the style, the dancing, and the overall vibes too. The 1960's and 1970's are iconic decades which brought us many fabulous things. One of which, was Studio 54. Trust, I would've been trying to get inside of that club every waking moment of my life had… Continue reading Disco Deathtrap | Cameron Roubique | Book Review
Some people hate Hollywood, celebrities, and the lifestyle and status that comes with being famous. They could care less about who's dating who, what someone wore, or who's crotch escaped them while getting out of a car last weekend. However, on the other end of the spectrum, there are other people are nearly obsessed. People… Continue reading The Body Double | Emily Beyda | Book Review
The Sun Down Motel Hey guys, I'm baaaackkkkkk. I am one of those people who reads a lot of books with a similar subject matter. I like horror, true crime, ghost stuff, and mysteries... Sprinkled with a romance from time to time. But because I often stick to the same stuff, it can get stale… Continue reading The Sun Down Motel | Simone St. James | Book Review
Before I start... I wanted to note the following: Throughout Guillermo's entire journey it has been so difficult to find anyone's full account of their dog's rostral bilateral mandibulecomy, other than Beamer's Corner. I had a plethora of extremely scary and serious questions during the diagnosis and healing process after surgery, but couldn't find any… Continue reading Dog Bilateral Rostral Mandibulectomy | Guillermo’s Journey
Sadly, I am here to report that Guillermo has Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma, a cancerous tumor behind his front canine tooth. In the midst of the CoronaVirus, it has been extremely difficult to find anyone to treat Guillermo.
