'Salem's Lot | Stephen King

Somehow I‘ve never read this. I‘ve seen the movies, preferring the OG, a they‘re good, but vampires don‘t really scare me. This, though…had some creepy moments. I expect nothing less from Uncle Stevie!

vivastory This is one of my favorite Kings 12m

Night Side of the River | Jeanette Winterson

Pickpick

Night Side of the River, by Jeanette Winterson (2023)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A collection of ghost stories and personal reflections on the paranormal by a contemporary master of short fiction.

Review: The worst thing I can say about this is that it‘s uneven. It starts off strong, with some seriously disturbing tales of haunting by AI and other virtual technology. ⬇️

Mattsbookaday The rest of the collection returns to more familiar territory but, with a couple exceptions, felt a bit phoned in. (This was exacerbated by my favourite story in the collection being previously featured in her collection of Christmas stories.) But an uneven collection by Winterson is still well-worth reading.

Bookish Pair: For another collection of stories with frightening tech, Uranians, by Theodore McCombs (2023)

The second of 2 redeeming things from some social plans that my bus screwed the pooch on tonight…

That makes 4 SK books scored at a discount for the journey I‘ll be taking myself on through some reads of my dad‘s favorite author in his honor and eventually in his memory.

I‘m not sure if I‘ll be able to purchase any more that are on the list until next month, but now I just want to keep going on this mission!!

AmyG I enjoyed this one. 13h

Comfort Me With Apples | Catherynne M. Valente
post image

This has been on my TBR forever and it‘s just so right up my alley I‘ve gotta get to it either by the end of the year of beginning of 2026! I mean I just know “Arcadia Gardens” must be creepy and diabolical from the description on page 2 of the HOA only allowing colors like Purity, Innocence, and Mother‘s Milk to be painted lmao.

Non-book related, HEB had the BEST (Envy) apples this year!! Yum😋

Life Expectancy | Dean R. Koontz

I used to read lots of his books. Somehow I missed this one. It was not what I expected but I enjoyed it. I liked Jimmy Tock and his family. A different kind of thriller. 4/5⭐️
