This was a trippy little book! An intruder crawls into the window of a family home. But within seconds he has weaseled into the minds of the 4 of them. Every time they interact they have a new memory with this “Martin” who‘s story & relationship changes with each interaction that leaves the reader questioning who or more like what is this “Martin”.

“For a moment he felt like he had never really heard music before, like he had been missing some component of his soul that had not come shipped in the original package.”
Lewis “Bull” Ingram takes a job to the Deep South to find out what happened to Early Freeman. And gets tangled into a cosmic horror tale he might not make it out of alive. This is a stellar debut novel! #southerngods #cosmichorror

Absolutely loved this book! Which was no surprise to myself as I loved everything I‘ve read from Hendrix ♥️
It had lovable characters & a perfect villain. VillainS if you include the chauvinistic husbands 😂
If you‘ve never read a Grady Hendrix novel this would be a great place to start!

This was only my 2nd John Saul book. And this one was definitely a lot better. The characters are pretty one dimensional & the story felt predictable & a bit silly at times. But it was an easy read & the plot was pretty good.

One of the absolute worst books I‘ve read 😂 This is the bottom of the barrel for 2021 for me. Huge problematic writing & content. It almost felt like the author was trying to make rape of a minor sexy 🤮 I never tell people to NOT read a book. Even ones I dislike, but you can go ahead and skip this one. It has zero redeeming qualities 😅

If you‘re looking to read some pure horror with unlikeable characters & shockingly graphic visuals, I highly recommend reading the Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker. And absolute gem of a book! 🙌 #clivebarker #thehellboundheart #reread #cenobites #orderofthegash

Few events in a human being‘s life – at least a male human being‘s life – are as free, as exuberant, as infinitely expansive and filled with potential as the first day of summer when one is an eleven-year-old boy. The summer lies ahead like a great banquet and the days are filled with rich slow time in which to enjoy each course. #dansimmons #summerofnight #horrorfiction

Blood County is a quaint mountain town living off the grid. You can only reach it by foot, and if you plan to be staying long be sure to be behind a locked door @ night, otherwise you‘re fair game for Duquieu Lamprou, Blood County‘s original vampire founder.
I‘ve read a few vampire stories so I wasn‘t expecting too much variation from the standards. And while some things remained the same, I thought this one had an absolutely bonkers premise.

The story jumps from the perspectives of both Simon & Catherine, from the day he left, & years to follow, to the present date. At times this made the book feel slow as the story‘s big reveals were spaced out so far apart.
Simon is such a sociopath! His behavior & actions were deplorable. All the while blaming Catherine was frustrating, but really well written to cause such an emotion from the reader!
