June was a much more productive month for me regarding reading and I managed to get through 13 books/novellas. There were no 5* reads for me but a few came close. Dream of the Serpent by Alan Ryker Alan Ryker should be much better known by horror readers. His writing is smooth, his work is well...
We're talking a very, very high four-star read here. What keeps it from being a 4.5 or 5 is the simple fact that I will never, ever, everevereverever read this fucking book again. I like being scared, love the thrill of it. I even love being disturbed, but this one tested all my boundaries. Naw, tha...
A Stephen King blurb. And, it’s declared: a novel of terror. Nick Cutter’s readers know what they’re in for. And, if there was any doubt, little clues speckle the first few chapters. Readers are “waiting for unknown wickedness”. There are shadows coalescing into permanence and logs groaning. T...
What a nightmare read that was. I got physicality sick during three different parts. I quit it many times but had to know the ending. Uggg, it was so awful, so realistically frightening, I wish I never picked it up. I feel sick now just trying thinking of some of the horrors between the pages. It wa...
29/4 - I was really pleased and excited for the author to see this at my local library.

My full The Troop audiobook review can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.Right off the bat we are introduced to a creepy character who must keep eating to fill a hole or something. Doesn't even have to be food. From the thought provoking descriptions Cutter was able to capture my full attention with a ...
Well-written, hideously repulsive, and more than a little reminiscent of THE RUINS by Scott Smith, I wanted to like this more than I did. A quick read, fun in a vile way, and certainly a solid example of horror, it's nevertheless a difficult one to fully recommend. I'd be interested in seeing what C...
Worthy of all the hype it has been getting. Reminiscent of [b:The Ruins|21726|The Ruins|Scott B. Smith|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1388228199s/21726.jpg|2453000]. Either book will make you squirm.
Cross-posted on Soapboxing I'm going to make one of those specious and ultimately rhetorical dichotomies just so I can start with a bang. There are two kinds of horror story: the one one that puts you off your lunch, and the one that makes you sleep with the lights on. This is one of the former. O...
