4/5⭐️ Some really fantastic "coming of rage" stories in here. Several had me wishing they were longer, especially the novella at the end 'Benny Rose The Cannibal King'

Completed after the author talk ( @sgj.bsky.social ) for my two friends ( @kaylareadshorror.bsky.social and Cristi) . Their signed copies πŸ˜€ I only put on it what was discussed at the author talk though I need to figure out where to hide a SpongeBob πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ or plain chicken tacos… or both πŸ˜‚

5/5 ⭐️ @sgj.bsky.social hurt my feelings as usual. Absorbing Mongrels or The Babysitter Lives/Killer on The Road next. Can't wait to cry more.

5/5 10/10 Somethings Killing The Children continues to destroy me emotionally. The art is so beautiful as always. I need to catch up on all of the spinoffs, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Very gory, fantastic story.

im often asked "okay but which books have you read that ACTUALLY scared you" its usually pretty difficult for me to come up with some answers, when you consume as much horror as I do,you become a bit desensitized.Now I have another book to answer that question with. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I don't think it's QUITE as intense as those two, so it doesn't hurt to give it a shot!

5/5⭐️
Mushrooms, Monsters, and Mayhem.

Tamara and Clay make great use of the PNW's unique settings, giving you new things to worry about when you hear that weird sound in the middle of the night.

4/5⭐️. My stomach does not particularly stomach cannibalism very well but I still enjoyed this one. A wonderful first novel.

Dexter meets Winnie The Pooh. This was somehow way more graphic than I imagined but so incredibly creative. 4/5 ⭐️

What an absolutely wild ride. I could not have prepared myself for this "extreme" horror that also bordered on erotica. I could not look away. Wtf was that i love maeve and hate her. 4/5 but also πŸ–•

Every ten minutes here is like:
- Trump doubles student debt
- Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs
- Three planes just crashed
- Trump signs EO making women illegal
- Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA
- Meteor not arriving fast enough

I CANNOT wait for this one to release. The Grip this book had on me is unreal. I would highly recommend to fans of AHS: Coven, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and The Boys.

Cassandra Khaw is a gift.

It was SOOO good. I devoured that book so fast. If you liked the movie 'The Substance' you would absolutely love Natural Beauty.

I'm about halfway through and loving it so far! It was recommended to me after I read Natural Beauty. I definitely feel you on the skincare forums 😭

something you learn writing SOCIAL HORROR of any kind is there is just a huge portion of buckaroos who will always think the political things being reflected in art are not real or overblown, and theyre almost always wrong. i believe love wins out, but there ARE scoundrels to battle on our way there

Kayla's review of Witchcraft for Wayward Girls 5/5: I was very scared going into this one given the subject matter. While this book lacks the usual humor Grady incorporates into his books, it replaces it with so much heart. A story of helplessness...

Looking forward to everyone reading this one.
