I’m not trying to boast or anything, but bugs don’t scare me. I’ve been stung by a wasp before, and I am the person delegated to get rid of all bugs that show up in my home. Spiders don’t scare me, flies are just a nuisance, and I don’t mind slapping away mosquitos and chasing away moths. After reading this…
Horror (Teen)
Darkchylde: The Ariel Chylde Saga by R. Queen
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I first requested this novel, I had no idea that it was based on a comic book series. My experience with comic books and graphic novels is limited to manga that I used to read back when I was in elementary school, and…
My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix
I loved the premise of this novel as soon as I read it. I’m a scaredy cat when it comes to exorcism stories but they’ve always been so intriguing and I’ve always wanted to read a novel on this topic. I found my chance with this book, so here is my review: Abby and Gretchen met in fifth grade and…
The Devil’s Prayer by Luke Gracias
I received this novel from NetGalley as an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. This weekend, I made my way home to spend time with my family. I haven’t had the chance to go back and visit since the start of my Masters, so I thought this would be as good a time as any! Since I was…
Black Fairy Tale by Otsuichi
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is one of those rare times where I have read a book that is predominantly set in Japan and sticks to the cultural setting there. Sure, I’ve read novels that take place in countries in Asia and allude to different cultural norms, but…
Slade House by David Mitchell
I promise you that when I chose to read this book, I did not realize AT ALL that this was the same author of The Bone Clocks (which I have made a previous blog post about). I honestly did not make the connection until I was about a third of the way into the book and noticed some similarities in…
The Damned by Andrew Pyper
I FINALLY HAVE A LAPTOP!!! No more blogging on a slow tablet or on my tiny phone! Now, I have a proper keyboard with a proper screen for viewing and everything is so much easier! On top of that, I’m happy that I was still able to find the time to read even though I have exams coming up this…
The Demonologist by Andrew Pyper
I first borrowed this book in an audio format, which is something I almost never do. I’ve never enjoyed audio books but I could only find it in this format at the time. I listened to about half of the story before finally having to give up; it wasn’t that the story was bad but rather I kept falling asleep…
The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker
I had a lot of trouble with this author because he has written so many books! I had first started with this one novel that I had placed on hold for a while now, only to discover that it was a (sort of) sequel to this book! So I obviously had to read this one! When Frank discovered the puzzle…
