horror, true crime, and mystery book reviews
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. But not many of us, (in fact, no one I personally know,) was educated on the Nanking Massacre,… Continue reading The Devil of Nanking | Mo Hayder | Book Review
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.

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
The first Riley Sager book I read was Lock Every Door, so I appear to be reading his novels all out of order! And you know what? That's fine by me! I could be wrong, but I feel like if you become a fan of an author because of their first book, you are bound… Continue reading Final Girls | Riley Sager | Book Review
I kept seeing this book everywhere I turned! The Silent Patient has a stunning cover that you won't easily forget, however, as the saying goes... something about a cover and some judgement, or whatever. I listened to this one on audio book and finished it within a day or two. I will also note that… Continue reading The Silent Patient |Alex Michaelides | Book Review
In Pittsburgh we have this place everyone calls, "Thirteen Bends."* It is an abandoned road in the woods that is rumored to be haunted. Our local legend goes something like this... In the 1800's there was an orphanage along the road that is now called Thirteen Bends. One evening a bunch of teenagers were playing… Continue reading Rules for Vanishing | Kate Alice Marshall | Book Review
Don't you just love a good old fashion "who done it?" My friends are forever irritated by my desperate complaining to take part in a murder mystery dinner, which I'll finally be achieving soon thanks to my 30th birthday, but it's just such a fun concept! The Hunting Party, at a glance, seemed to have… Continue reading The Hunting Party | Lucy Foley | Book Review
