  • “The House of Hundred Whispers” by Graham Masterton

    {Note: This book is for mature audiences only!} I finished reading this book today. There was one particular scene in the book that I’m not particularly fond of. To be honest, I think the whole book could have done without that particular scene anyway and it would have been just fine. Aside from that specific…

  • “Lucky Girl: How I Became a Horror Writer: A Krampus Story” by M. Rickert

    This little novella was an easy read. When I say “easy read”, I meant it was easy to sit down and read in a single sitting. I loved how the story went and how it ended. I don’t want to say anything more because I don’t want to ruin this story for anyone that wants…

  • “Scary Stories for Young Foxes” by Christian McKay Heidicker

    I’ve been reading this book lately and decided to share. It’s a series of scary short stories, however, each story is connect in some form or fashion. This book is also designed for kids so this would be something to read with your kids if they aren’t easily scared. Rumor has it that Peephole Productions…

  • “Out To Get You: 13 Tales of Weirdness and Woe” by Josh Allen (illustrated by Sarah J. Coleman)

    I finished reading this at bed time last night. It’s a collection of short stories geared more towards younger audiences (I’d probably say around the 10-12 year old age range). Each story follows a child about that age (or close to it) and puts them in a scary or unusual situation. This would probably be…

Yes, I know it’s just the first day of September….but I figured I’d give everyone time to hunt down the following selections from your local library or bookstore, whichever the case may be.…

  • “Tiny Nightmares: Very Short Tales of Horror” by Lincoln Michel & Nadxieli Nieto

    I finished reading this over the weekend and let me say that I really enjoyed it. There are plenty of little short shorts for anyone who enjoys such things. Some of them are horror and some of them remind me of the Rod Sterling’s “Twilight Zone” from the late 50’s or early 60’s. My favorite…

  • “20th Century Ghosts” by Joe Hill

    I’ve finished reading this book. I wanted to read this because there is a movie that will be released this month that is based off one of the short stories from book and I wanted to read it before the movie came out. I thought the short stories in this book were good. Most of…

    I finished reading this book today. It is a collection of short stories about different horrors from all over the world. I’ve heard of a couple of these stories prior to reading this book from a few tv shows I’ve watched in the past but most of them were new to me. Let me tell…

  • “Twelve Nights at Rotter House” by J. W. Ocker

    Well, this is my latest read. Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish this book. The first problem I had was that it was really, really slow. I understand that you have to build a little suspense to get to where it would start getting good but that took way too long in this book. Plus, the guy…
