What would you do for a starring role in a movie? What would Hollywood do to you to get a film made?
Well, Dead Take gives us a glimpse behind the curtain and brings with it a star-studded cast of voice actors such as Neil Newborn and Ben Starr. Check my review here:

I dropped the ball posting last night! But this book about spaceships, AI, monsters, and found family sure doesn't!

Fiction, on occasion, should challenge us to take a hard look at the history, especially as an American. Stephen Graham Jones has a way with words that is both wonderful and horrific, and once again, he has redefined a genre, this time horror with vampires.

While I was reviewing this book, I had a thought. This oppressive system works because sometimes we have no choice of where we work or shop or the cars we drive.
Keep your chin up, and check out this review of Motheater by Linda H. Codega.

Me in my non-binary finery (Thanks Stephanie Sterling of The Jimquisition for that saying!).
In the midst of the chaos going on in the world, there are still beautiful sapphic romances out there. In Lucy Undying by Kiersten White, we learn what actually happened to Lucy of Dracula fame.

Boy oh boy, has the world gone crazy lately. Imagine, though, that your entire world is nothing more than a few square miles, with a crumbling manor and a dying bog. What would you do to keep the land alive?

We are taking a break from the blog until after the New Year. Please have a safe and happy holiday season.
May you receive all the books you want and some that may surprise you.
I didn't have queer gothic horror on my reding bingo list for this year, but here we go. Ghosts? Check. Haunting cats? Yep. Vampires? Definitely without the glitter.
Check out my review of All the Hearts You Eat by Hailey Piper.

There's nothing quite like an atmospheric horror game with morally ambiguous characters and all of the body horror!

It's been a rough week, my friends, but I have a treat for you. Imagine a world built on traditions that were nearly destroyed by colonization, add a pinch of magic and divinity, and you have Rebecca Roanhorse's Between Earth and Sky trilogy. #books #bookreview #fantasy #dragcryptid #reedfaster

What is considered horror can be extremely subjective and personal. What we carry with us through the chapters of our lives that haunt us shapes us.
Imagine being a final girl.
In this post, I review The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephan Graham Jones.

Hey there! No blog post today, but I just finished The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera. Highly recommend if you enjoy China Miéville!

One of my favorite pastimes is watching movies based on books. For today's review, I compare the differences in The Watch by AM Shine and the movie based on it directed by Ishana Night Shymalan.

I really dig fantasy that pulls from something other than Western folklore. Check out my review of The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo!
