Happy Holidays, Ya Filthy Animals

Do you want to be scared this holiday season? I know this is a book blog, but on the real real, I don’t really enjoy holiday themed books. (Please don’t hate me!) Although holiday books are not my thing, I do sort of, sometimes, maybe a little, enjoy the holiday spirit. What’s not to like?…

Man-Eater: The Terrifying True Story of Cannibal Killer Katherine Knight | Ryan Green | Book Review

Until I stumbled upon this book, I had never heard of Katherine Knight. As a matter of fact, I really haven’t heard of many female cannibals in general. Of course there are the Jodi Arias’s, Aileen Wuornos’s, and Karla Homolka’s of the world, but most often you hear of women committing filicide, poisonings, crimes of…

The Date | Louise Jensen | Book Review

Some people are lucky enough to have met their soulmates at a young age, while in school, or in casually while out and about, and therefore never had to go through the woes of online dating. For those of you who this applies to, I sincerely envy you. If you’re like me, then you went…

There are 2 types of people in this world… People who find the woods relaxing, and people who find the woods to be a vast, mysterious, and terrifying place of dread. Guess which one I am? 😊 When you think about what lurks in the woods, do you think about ghosts? Aliens? Serial killers? Satanic…

What an incredible and fascinating piece of nonfiction. Both touching and terrifying, The Serial Killer Whisperer is a book with some serious re-read value. This novel is able to bring on a strange and unique combination of feelings I never thought possible of a true crime book! Let’s get right to it, shall we? Synopsis…

Killer Clown: The John Wayne Gacy Murders | Terry Sullivan | Book Review

I know you’re probably going to be disappointed in me for my rating of this, but please don’t be. For those of you who do not know me personally, I will inform you of one important detail: I am very fascinated by and generally well versed about true crime, therefore it is the genre that…

The House on Tradd Street | Karen White | Book Review

There’s nothing I love more than a hearty and long series. The more books in a series, the more inclined I am to seek them out and disappear in them for a while. (Seriously, I was off the grid for nearly 4 whole months when I got sucked into The Southern Vampire Mysteries.) I also…

Fantasticland | Mike Bockoven | Book Review

Haha… Wow… Just, wow. If that could be my entire review I would let it stay that way, but I think I owe you guys more than that. Every summer I am ecstatic to go to the local theme park in Pittsburgh. Although I have been there a hundred times and I am nearing 30…

Lock Every Door | Riley Sager | Book Review

I am aware that in my first blog entry I explained that most of the books I read are on audio book, about how I have no time to read hard copy books, and that I would do your laundry for the rest of your life if you could find an allowance in my schedule…
