This 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.

The 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!

Eyelit I loved this one - there‘s a sequel of sorts too I think it‘s called defekt 2m
Soubhiville Thanks for the rec @Eyelit ! I just added that to my TBR. now

I 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 👇🏼

Reggie speeds off. I lay down again and what I think is 20 minutes later I hear someone outside banging on my door. Which is weird to me because never have people visit me after 12. I open the door and there are the most handsome, chocolatey, muscley, Black men I have ever seen. They‘re wearing white tanks and their biceps have biceps. They say in their sexiest voice, hey man, let us in. And it is every start of a dream I have ever wanted but I see 👇🏼 (edited) 2h
Reggie menace in their eyes and even in a dream I vote against my best interests. I say no sorry guys have a good night. They start slamming their fists against the door yelling LET US IN! One of them goes to the side of my duplex and I hear him beating at a window. I run to my kitchen and get a dirty knife out of the sink. I don‘t know why I don‘t get a clean knife. This detail bothers me Litsy. So I run to the room. He‘s broken in and is climbing👇🏼 2h
Reggie down, and I‘ve just seen too many home invasion movies, I proceed to stab him to death. And that‘s when I hear that the other guy has broken through the front door. I hide in the corner and he runs in and sees his friend and says-Awwww man, he killed you. And that‘s when I pounce and stab him to death. Litsy it brings me no pleasure to tell you this nightmare because in the first few minutes I thought this was gonna be my peanut butter Oreo 👇🏼 2h

Reggie fantasy come true. But alas I think it was a message. I read nothing but romance since Valentine‘s Day and I have loved my romance vacation but the darkness wants me back. So my next book- it will be horror. lol all that for that. Good day, Litsy! 2h

👁️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

I 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.

A 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!

Oh. 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.
