"This place is not haunted. This place is not haunted."

On an old stretch of Route 66, we meet a group of wanna-be ghostbusters, a young lady that is over her head w/ her commercial reality (sic) job, &, well, obv. some ghosts. Plus more. So much more!

"I’ll never eat meat again."

If your idea of fun includes flopping about in a mud-filled cesspool of dead animals & flesh-eating parasitic worms, then this is just the book for you! There are a LOT of gross bits but such a great ending! So... yay?

Stupidity.

"Bananas are naturally radioactive."

Henry lives in a world that is recovering (or not) from 4,081 nuclear warheads being detonated in the atmosphere. He's a sincere foodie making his way through the post-apocalyptic wasteland of USA. It gets weird. ☢️☢️☢️

"There is nothing more awful and ruinous than love. In the end, it destroys us all."

Whiny & weepy pretty-boy Derek has it all...except satisfaction with his life. Then he starts killing & feels nothing? Which is...great?

"We didn't imagine things. He's back."

I never got into this one, as the "horror" as it were was much!!! milder than my usual fare. Plus, no matter how hard I try, I just can't ignore poor editing which just immediately shuts my pleasure receptors down!

"Dearest Beloved,
I promise I will return to you.

I will find your heart."

A beautifully written story transcending reality, time, & our place in the universe "...each room a potential death, each hallway a possible end."

Yes just what any country with universal healthcare and among the best family care in the world needs. A country that can't even wear masks during a pandemic sending a plague ship to help with imaginary sicknesses. Pathetic!

"The worst monsters are the ones invisible to you."

A beautifully written, truly horrific tale that will have you reading for hours & then having nightmares all night! Excellent execution, imagery, & pacing! But is the Devil a vampire? Or vice versa?

No. No more bullshit. We want damn flying cars, not Teslas that look like mutated trash dumpsters!

"Such a ludicrous, flamboyant arrangement could only mean one thing: sexual organs…"

This collection of short stories was in a word, wackadoodle. And remember: Hail Taylor Swift, rightful ruler of Earth! (it actually is very logical in an alien way)

The fact that racism is becoming as widespread and hateful as its ever been?

"Whatever came next, the waiting was done."

The author presents an extremely complex tale full of dread & horror but manages to encapsulate all of it with beautiful prose & characters you can't help but care about! Not the fastest pace read but still A+!

I googled this "cryptid" to learn more and the accompanying assortment of images are ... dare I say it... endless!

Arrr?

I'm oddly torn between finding this appropriate for Friday the 13th and also thinking it's a perfect Valentine's Day get up.

I just threw an old pound note into the garden. If you can find it before it blows away (or melts in this non-stop rain), it's yours!

Too cute. I have literally passed away from this. Please give me a nice burial at sea or even better, grow a tree in my remains!

Nada. Rugby again tomorrow. Got a good book, so I'm a happy happy... clam? Hm, what is it that's happy?

Ooo, looks nice! Doing anything keen for Valentine's?

"All was black. All was darkness. A place for monsters."

This was so much fun to read! Starts off pretty depressing: eldest child is dying from a very aggressive form of leukaemia. But dad asks local Chinese mystic for "help" & well, things get wild!

"I don’t forgive you."

Very intense psychological horror exploring this "situation" through the eyes of three different leads. I won't say if they're protagonists or antagonists … mostly because I'm not sure they know either to be honest. Quick read!

Touring around or staying put?

"I help supernatural creatures have sex with each other."

I loved this book featuring tons of monsters & more. Plus Rasputin? What a great guy, not only running a dating service for the supernatural but he invented National Oral Sex Day, too. My hero!

If France has their way, a lot of his money-making via dirty dealing will be cut off. So expect this to read "New Jersey" by next year!

"I invited this into my life. I killed my wife."

Reads like an overfilled tea kettle getting ready to blow (um, do tea kettles do that?). The tension is high in this gory, sometimes filthy (sex-wise) caper that reads "fuller" than most novellas! Fun!

"I would’ve been better off dead."

A ghoulishly (hee hee) enjoyable book! Poor Rodger just isn't ready to accept his wife's death. But what happens when a victim from another horror begins to take an interest in his plight? In a word: YUCK!

"The world was silenced by the sound of weeping."

An interesting take on a weeper/zombie outbreak in Ireland focusing less on the militaristic side of things and more of the emotional and mental toll of the actors.

"Luck, unfortunately, was always in short supply in the holler."

Welp, just so you know: none of these here vampires sparkled or pouted or nothin. But that vampire sure gets to a'killin' pretty quick once he gets out of that there coal mine! Original!
