horror, true crime, and mystery book reviews
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
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

Maybe it's because of the morbid sideshow acts, the… Continue reading Something Wicked This Way Comes | Ray Bradbury | 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… Continue reading Hamartia | Ben Hoene | Book Review

I can't help but get a little bit excited inside, only to ultimately end… Continue reading Penpal | Dathan Auerbach | Book Review
