Pregnancy violence and fetal SA in extreme horror has become overplayed. Authors lean on it for shock, but it’s predictable, lazy, and gross. As soon as pregnancy is mentioned, I expect brutalization. It’s no longer shocking. It’s just tired.

Horror is self-care. Nothing like reading about ancient evil to make your daily life feel more manageable.

Do you ever finish a horror book and feel like something followed you out?

Anyway. Five stars.

You won’t, you can go back in and edit your days of reading if you forget to log it. But I logged out to try and log back in and now I’m kicked out 🙃

I’m hopping in the trend!

I usually do genuinely like most books in my genre. I hand out 4s and 5s pretty often but these…I could have done without.

The vibes I bring:
Gothic mystery, Eerie elegance, and just a hint of the macabre. 🖤
Expect spooky book talk, haunting aesthetics, and a touch of chaos.
