Something Wicked This Way Comes | Ray Bradbury | Book Review
I love carnivals so much! I like the look, the history, the sounds, and the smells. Carnivals are always filled with so much excitement, aren’t they?! But, is it just me, or does it seem like there’s always an underlying feeling of darkness at carnivals, too? Maybe it’s because of the morbid sideshow acts, the…

Hamartia | Ben Hoene | Book Review
This is the first time I have been asked to review someone’s work! How exciting! When Ben messaged me on Instagram I was very shocked and flattered that he would trust me with his work. (He must’ve never listened to my comedy/horror podcast.) Luckily for him, this is a completely different format! I promise to take…

True Crime | Samantha Kolesnik | Book Review
Hey, it’s my first ARC! If you don’t already know, in between all of the mystery novels and cutesy K-dramas, I do get down on some super weird stuff. Speaking of super weird, I kept seeing Samatha’s True Crime popping up on my Instagram! Based on the cover art alone, I knew I had to…

Favorite Non-Reviewed Reads of 2019
Since I am new to book blogging, I didn’t have the chance to share all of the books I read in 2019! I read a lot, and trust me, I wanted to tell you about every single book… but I also didn’t want to start posting reviews every day and set a precedence that I…

The Window | Amelia Brunskill | Book Review
Twins can be creepy sometimes; not all the time, but sometimes. I have some amazing friends and family members who are twins and they are not scary at all. However, we all have seen the parent trap with Lindsay Lohan… Need I say more? But this book isn’t actually about creepy twins for once! Instead,…

Penpal | Dathan Auerbach | Book Review
All over the internet, I keep seeing Penpal being praised as one of the scariest and most underrated books ever. When horror movies try to claim a title like this, or when the previews say things like, “…scarier than The Exorcist!” I can’t help but get a little bit excited inside, only to ultimately end…

The Dead Girls Club | Damien Angelica Walters | Book Review
There’s nothing like the guilty feelings that come from hiding secrets. It’s a terrible, constant, and anxious feeling, isn’t it? That’s why I am so bad at hiding my own secrets! I don’t like feeling that way, so upon the slightest bit of heat I am confessing to you like we’re in the back room…

Reflection on 2019, and Reading Goals for 2020
2019 Reflection: As we say goodbye to the 2019 year, I’m sure all of us have had both ups and downs to reflect on. There are things we are proud of, and things that we are not. Focusing on the positive only, I must say that I am proud to have started this blog, entered…

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…
