  • “How to Survive a Horror Story” by Malory Arnold

    I finished reading this book today and thought I’d share. This would be a good book to read around Halloween if you are a true fan of the horror genre. This book kept me hooked from the beginning and I enjoyed that ending. This was a debut from this particular author but you wouldn’t think…

  • “The Folcroft Ghosts” by Darcy Coates

    I finished reading this last night and thought I’d share. This author is normally my auto buy author when I want to read horror. While the story was good, and I wasn’t expecting that ending, I didn’t feel like this book was very scary. This book was probably the least scary book they have in…
