Black Mouth | 
pickLoved this - old school horror with a very King vibe. Thanks to Jessie and Barbara for the birthday present last year (we always get to them eventually!). The spare one is going to another litten next week.
Really enjoying my current read- but had little to no time for reading again! It‘s very ‘King‘ like and I haven‘t read this author before so I‘m guessing I‘ve found some new books 😁
This was a birthday pressie from lovely littens nearly a year ago!
We‘re going on vacation in few days and I plan to do some book shopping while we‘re there. I‘m hoping to visit an indie bookstore in the area. So I‘ve been thinking about some books I‘d love to add to my collection. And no shocker they‘re horror novels. 😉
But I also need some recommendations so drop your favorite horror novels in the comment.

pickThis was intense! As others have said, it‘s very similar to a Stephen King or Joe Hill story, which is great because I LOVE them! It‘d about childhood trauma and guilt, addictions, and a big dose of the supernatural thrown in. The ending was also quite touching, which I wasn‘t expecting. I‘m really becoming a Ronald Malfi fan! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickI think Ronald Malfi is growing to be a favorite writer of mine. This book was a mixture of Joe Hill N0s4a2 and IT. Jamie Warren is Home.
pickInteresting. Engaging. Starts out with 3 teens finding a magician in which teaches them magic in which leads to drama. Years later they find him again but he hasn't aged.
This was more of a crime thriller with a supernatural touch at the end.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
One of my favorite horror reads this year. This book had It vibes, which I loved. It's classic horror with a modern feel.

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really liked this newest Malfi book. I loved Come with Me. This brings a little more horror elements to the story. It does a good job taking the IT plot line and giving it a different spin and a very creepy main villain. Definitely recommend the audio for this one.
pickThis was one of the best horror books I've read in several years. It has great atmosphere and character development. It reminds me of early King in scope, yet the instances of dread and horror are all Malfi's own. It's also a great book for Word Search points.

“One week after our mother committed suicide, my brother Dennis was taken into police custody while walking along the shoulder of a winding mountain highway wearing nothing but a saggy pair of white briefs and what I can only assume to be a empty expression on his face.

I have a bad cold going into #Scarathlon2022. I‘m reading slower because of it and starting a little early in the hopes of finishing this book on October 1st or 2nd. I‘m loving it so far. It reminds me of early Stephen King and still 100% Ronald Malfi. I feel like I‘m cocooned in a sleeping bag by a roaring fire, hearing a campfire story. There‘s dark magic on the wind.

pickA book by a very talented author at the top of his game, this is a masterpiece.
It grabs your attention from the start and keeps you enthralled until the end, I just love his writing style - it reminds me of early Stephen King.
'Black Mouth' is a very atmospheric read that I enjoyed every step of the way.
The characters were well-developed and likeable.
A must-read for horror fans!
ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
In June I only read 25 books, which is low for me, but I had a lot going on including a few nights in the hospital.
I still managed a few Bingos though and read some great books. The tagged one was my favorite. #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
May July be a great reading month for all of us. 💚😁

Loved this one!
With similarities to It and Boy's Life, my horror loving heart was quite happy while reading this one. A traveling circus comes through bringing The Magician, a man with a devilish desire to coerce kids to do things they shouldn't. The story is told in both past and present as childhood friends fight to save other kids from the traumatic things they were subjected to.
