I´m apologizing to the Halloween book bingo gods in advance for using this book for the “Modern Masters of Horror” square. Thomas Olde Heuvelt might be a lot of things, but a modern master of horror he isn´t. At least in my opinion. Because I did not like this book. Hex is the most nonsensical piece...

Eigentlich ist der Ort Black Spring ganz normal. Es ist ein beschauliches Städtchen im Hudson Valley in den USA. Allerdings liegt schon 300 Jahre lang ein Fluch auf der Stadt und die Bewohner haben gelernt, mit ihm bzw. mit ihr zu leben. Sie haben eine Hexe im Ort, die es vor der Öffentlichkeit zu v...

Considering how many horror authors enthused about this book I was thinking that this book would go down as a classic that I would read for years to come. Instead I found most of the book to be very slow moving. I thought the whole witch who cursed a village thing would be interesting and scary, but...

Welp, it's finished. Don't really have too many strong opinions. We'll see how this goes. Hex takes place in Black Spring, a town cursed by Katherine Van Allen. She doesn't seem to actually do anything to you, but she can make you want to do pretty horrible thing. The town quarantines themselves ...

This a rather beautiful little fable. It is meandering, it is a wish, it is a butterfly. There is beauty here.

The people of Black Spring, New York are cursed. It’s not really their fault. They were just unlucky enough to be born there or buy a house there. The curse is Katherine van Wyler, a woman accused of being a witch who still haunts Black Spring three hundred plus years later. In Hex, by Thomas Olde H...

According to my Audible app, I've listened to 127 audiobooks. You might say, I dig audiobooks. I listen to at least one a week. Which makes me feel that I can say, with the utmost honesty and accuracy, that Hex, written by Thomas Olde Heuvelt and narrated by Jeff Harding, is the worst audiobook I've...

Me and this book just didn't get on well together. I started originally listening to the audio book and the narrator was awful so then I started reading the book and it still didn't do anything for me. Instead of finding it funny or creepy, it came across as extremely cheesy to me. Maybe something w...

I'm not sure what this says about me, but I found the first third of this book absolutely hilarious. It starts out reminding me of Cabin in the Woods, taking this absolutely terrifying premise and making it so mundane it becomes funny. There is a scary witch lurking in the small town, and everyone j...
