What I’m Reading for Summerween (and the Horror Books That Still Haunt Me) 👻 Welcome to my Summerween TBR! Today I’m sharing the horror and thriller books I’ll be reading this summer…from slasher throwbacks and cult classics to new-to-me nightmares I’m finally tackling. I’m ...

My Summerween TBR video is up! This summer’s TBR is full of slashers, monsters, cursed towns, and one book that’s basically a heatstroke in literary form. Plus a couple of horror favorites that still haunt me years later! 🩸🪓🌞

Adding it to my TBR! Thank you for the rec!

I still haven’t read The Salt Grows Heavy. It’s on my summer reading list this year. Chlorine was excellent!

A hand holds a stack of ocean-themed and mermaid horror books in front of a colorful bookshelf. Titles include: The Reyes Incident by Briana Morgan, The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw, Siren by John Everson, Village of the Mermaids by Carlton Mellick III, Lure by Tim McGregor, Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant, Chlorine by Jade Song, and Merfolk by Jeremy Bates.

It’s summertime and that means mermaid horror! Have you read any of these?

Do you have any favorite books featuring mermaids? Any genre.
So far, mine is Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant. So good!

Those are the best finds! I’d be doing the same. Haha

I have the same issue with Friday’s. Just doesn’t feel right. 😂

A Halloween-style promo graphic for the Monster Manor Book Fair event. At the bottom right is a purple haunted house, on the left a sign that reads "read indie". The book "Dark Heart of Ilmoure" by Cara N. Delaney is featured as if it was a polaroid taped to the background of the image. The graphic's text reads: "Pride Itch.io Bundle: 118 comics, short stories, novellas, and novels for $25!"

The sales just won't end 💸

Time for the Monster Manor Book Fair! From June 13-20, get this giant Pride bundle on Itch.io, featuring 118 works by 83 creators for $25. That's just over 20ct per item, and a 90% discount overall! What are you waiting for?!

Haha. Same! It was such a unique way to tackle an important topic. I loved the overall comedic tone too. It could have easily been super depressing or terrifying.

Yes it was! I actually want to re-read it. Such a stunning gothic read.

A hand with a floral tattoo holds a vibrant stack of horror and speculative fiction books in front of a colorful bookshelf. The titles from top to bottom are: “Psychic Teenage Bloodbath” by Carl John Lee, “The Despicable Fantasies of Quentin Sergenov” by Preston Fassel, “Walking Practice” by Dolki Min, “A Botanical Daughter” by Noah Medlock, “You’ve Lost a Lot of Blood” by Eric LaRocca, “Gig of the Damned: Slay the Competition!” by Phrique, and “Thirst” by Marina Yuszczuk. The books are visually striking, showcasing a blend of bold fonts, neon hues, and eerie cover art.

In case you missed my latest video, these are some of my favorite queer horror. I absolutely loved every single one of these books! Check trigger warnings if you have any because a couple of them are extreme horror.

Good to know! That makes me ever more excited to read it!

A hand with a whale tattoo holds a stack of bold, queer, and horror-tinged books in front of a dark bookshelf. Titles include A Certain Hunger, Open Throat, The Cellar, Perfume & Pain, Queer Little Nightmares, Bury Your Gays, Scissor Me Timbers, Psychic Teenage Bloodbath II, and Sugar. The spines pop in neon pinks, purples, and reds—serving queer chaos, monstrous femininity, and extreme horror realness.

My June TBR! Most of these are LGBTQ+ for pride month. A couple are mood reads. The Cellar by Richard Laymon is a buddy read on kindle. All but two are horror and those two are literary fiction. What are you excited to read this month?

Thank you!

A celebratory graphic with a spooky theme features glowing green and neon elements on a black background. At the top, the text “THANK YOU!” is written in a dripping, green horror font. Below it is a screenshot of the YouTube channel Spooky Little Book Nerd, which has just reached 600 subscribers. The banner has lightning and bats with the channel name in neon green and purple. A ghost and a glowing play button appear to the left, and a full moon glows on the right. Bright green slime and spooky tree silhouettes frame the image.

I reached 600 subs on YouTube! Thank you so much to everyone who has followed, subbed, and stuck around!

I never imagined 600 people would want to hear me talk about books.

A tattooed hand lifts a stack of seven eerie and eclectic books in front of dark, moody shelves lined with horror and thriller titles. The stack includes neon-drenched nightmares, unsettling manga, extreme horror, and witchy tales: Neon Nightmares by Isaac Nightingale, Mouth by Joshua Hull, Blood on the Tracks Vol. 3 by Shuzo Oshimi, Mortifier by Sarah Derosa, Psychic Teenage Bloodbath by Carl John Lee, The Upside-Down Voice That Speaks Backwards: Selected Stories by R.J. Benetti, The Witch by Michael Harbron, and Finlay Donovan Knocks ’Em Dead by Elle Cosimano. The backdrop of spines in blacks, reds, and neons adds to the haunted library aesthetic.

In case you missed my chaotic, moody TBR video, here’s my May TBR! These are the books I picked out when I shopped my shelves. Not pictured is Magnolia Parks by Jessa Hastings. I was also kinda in the mood for some light toxic relationship drama. Who am I?! 😂

If you love Boy’s Life, you will probably love Summer of Night too!

A hand holds up two books in front of a bookshelf filled with colorful spines. The left book is “Summer of Night” by Dan Simmons, featuring a vintage-style cover with a glowing window and children outside. The right book is “Boy’s Life” by Robert McCammon, with a more subdued cover showing a sunrise or sunset over water. The background includes various horror and fiction titles arranged on the shelves.

Two coming of age horror novels that I absolutely love! Both are full of nostalgia and will take you back to your 12-year-old self.
Summer of Night by Dan Simmons and Boy’s Life by Robert McCammon
