pickThis book was a treat — a super fast paced sci-fi ghost story. Elements felt a little repetitive or all talk/no show, but so much of this was lyrically delicate, super descriptive body horror. This is the author‘s first novel - I‘m really excited to see where she goes from here.

pickThe audio on this is only 3 hours, and if you liked Horrorstor or like the idea of a story that takes place (partially) inside an IKEA-like store, this is for you. It‘s less horror that Hendrix‘s book, and leans scifi and multiverse. LGBTQIA young adults searching for a missing grandma. Good times!
panI have to say, this book was extremely underwhelming and it really dragged. I wanted to enjoy it and small parts of it i did but for the most part, this book is a waste of time.
#Litsyafterdark 2 nights ago I lay down to go to bed and about 20 minutes later I heard honking outside and it kept going. I got up and saw truck lights outside. I open the main door and keep my metal screen door closed. I yell out can I help you. The guy in the truck whose face I can‘t see says-Is this Tacoma LN. I say no. He says-I punches it into a gps and this is where it takes me. Me-Sorry-it‘s Railroad I don‘t know what to tell you. He 👇🏼
pick👁️Sunglasses & sleep mask needed after reading this Stoker-award-nominated chiller about a Korean-American college student trapped between racist, chauvinistic men and her growing hunger for eyeballs. Unique, clever, scary read during my work trip to Hawaii. I am now afraid of eyeballs. 👁️ #horror #unique #clever #diversebooks
Time to catch up with the #LosersClub. Starting next.

pickI was not excited about picking up King's 1981 nonfiction book about the horror genre, but his engaging style of writing made this read super enjoyable. I would have given it 5 stars, but for the fact that is is really outdated. Which is, of course, not the book's fault. Most of the writers/filmmakers discussed are white men. There are a couple of white women. Zero creators of color (again, 1981). But overall an enjoyable book.
pickA work of modern gothic. Harwood keeps readers engaged with a tale spawning from the narrators‘ experience; the additions of intertwining ‘lost‘ stories written prophetically years before. It has all elements that keep readers guessing, doubting, and enchanted. Supernatural or madness? Research or recluse? Cannot say more good things-just reading it is an experience!
pickOh. My. Gosh. This was such a good story. No One is safe in this expose of how media rots our brains, even the "good guys" will get called out. If you're in the mood for a poignant, political, apocalyptic horror, this one is definitely worth it. Gives a while new meaning to the term "doom scrolling."
Check trigger warnings if you're squeamish, it is horror after all.
