Happy International #TransDayOfVisibility ! ✨🏳️‍⚧️💕 Today and always, this horror lover is celebrating the trans/non-binary horror authors that fill my shelves!

A tiny cult of two, a promise of angels and ascendance, and a calamitous consequence! I devoured CORRUPTED VESSELS by Briar Ripley Page (@flameswallower.bsky.social ) in one sitting! Check out my review here👉🏽 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

#HappySpring!🌷🌱 What’s on your spring reading list this year? I’ve added BETA VULGARIS by Margie Sarsfield and VOICE LIKE A HYACINTH by Mallory Pearson to my list! (Also please enjoy this super cute spooky spring tee my sister got me!)✨

YES!🙌🏽🔥💕

Oh my god all of these recommendations are great!!!♥️🙌🏽

I love the yearly transition from #BlackHistoryMonth to #WomensHistoryMonth ! As a Black woman, it just means the celebration continues. Time to celebrate some #WomenInHorror !!! Share some of your favorite women writing in thriller/horror fiction down in the comments! 🩸🔪♥️

Thank you!!!🙌🏽🔥

“It is this world that makes monsters of us all.” This collection of speculative short stories by author Yvette Lisa Ndlovu ( @yvettel.bsky.social ) might be my favorite of the year so far (and it’s only February)! www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Your copy is looking good!! I hope I can keep my copy in good condition!!!!

I feel like diving DEEP into folk horror/ folk fiction this year. I’m craving lore and pagan rituals, harvest festivals and oral histories, village cults and old gods. Basically I‘ve got a hankering for Wicker Man vibes!
How about you? What’s a sub-genre you feel like binge-reading this year?✨

Really feeling the January Blues lately. 💙

Well….this sucks.

“Fern saw her far-off shadow on the long grass as she went by; she saw all their shadows, and they looked like giants, they looked like monsters, they looked like goddesses. They looked like witches.” #WitchcraftForWaywardGirls had me in a chokehold, y’all! 🔮✨

A bloody, wintery, vampiric tale of warning to those who wish for immortality. #YouCantTakeItWithYou by author @marcushawke.bsky.social is a reminder that sometimes dead really is better! Check this novella out before Winter’s end! 🧛🏻‍♂️❄️

A serial killer living amongst her fellow animal folk, small-town suspicions, blood, gore, and quite the body count! #BeneathTheTreesWhereNobodySees was easily 5/5 stars for me! This entire series can be found on Hoopla for those who are interested! 🧸🩸🔪

Listening to audiobooks and reading novellas really helps! But also, I work at a library (and formerly a bookstore), so I have the privilege of making it my job to read frequently. 🙋🏽‍♀️💕

NEW YEAR, MORE BOOKS! What are some Reading Resolutions you’ve made this year? A few of mine are to (1) support my local bookstores (2) take advantage of my library card (3) continue reading books I already own, and (4) attempt to read 200 more books this year!!! (Yes…I’m insane for that last one)

Filling my remaining December days with more winter hauntings! Anyone else a fan of the Christmas ghost stories from the #BritishLibraryTalesOfTheWeird collection? ❄️🎄☃️

True love is your husband going to bookstores while you’re at work, taking photos of #StephenKing books, texting said photos to you, and asking if he needs to bring back any of the books you don’t already own. A keeper, that one.💕

Right?! I love it!

I don’t know about you, but I consider Susan Hill’s THE WOMAN IN BLACK (1983) to be required annual holiday reading! The perfect book to escape into on Christmas Eve if you enjoy eerie, Victorian gothic settings and angry, vengeful ghosts!✨

This looks amazing!😱

Two of my current December reads! Perfect for chilly nights at home with a cup of hot cocoa and a flickering candle! @valancourtbooks.bsky.social @swiftpress.bsky.social

Oh my god YES I’m so excited for Piper’s new book! I’ve had it on hold at the library for weeks!🙌🏽

Okay what’s on everyone’s December reading list??? I personally plan on binge reading some Christmas ghost stories!👻🎄

Checking this out immediately and adding to my Goodreads TBR!

Yes, I know it’s not Turkey Day yet. But I’ve officially entered #Creepmas mode! I’m craving dark winter reads and snow, please and thank you! 🎄✨💀

“Crota” by Owl Goingback! It’s a gritty, gory, Indigenous, paranormal crime thriller and I’m loving it so far! How about you?
