The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones

Sigh. Whatever man. At this point I am going to just quit reading Stephen Graham Jones. I don’t want to even hear the words slasher or final girl for the next month until October when I just watch some freaking Jason movies to wipe this whole novel out of my brain. Why did I buy this in paperback?! There’s honestly not much to say here, just like horror movie trilogies, “The Indian Lake Trilogy” went out with a whimper with a lot of, well that […]

“Death of the Author” follows struggling author and lecturer, Zelu. She feels lost in her very big and successful family. When she finds out that she is now fired from her job at a college and her latest book has failed to find a publisher, Zelu wonders how she can go on. We follow her over the course of years as she pulls a book out of of her “Rusted Robots” and becomes a critical darling and then “cancelled” by her fans. Through it all […]

Heh. I needed to find something that began with the letter “G” for a bingo book game I am playing. And honestly. I thought this took place in school (it’s been decades since I read this one!) and then realized well at least it fits the “G” part since the whole book took place over the summer holiday. Do you all remember the “Fear Street Super Chiller” books? It was similar to the “The Baby-sitter Club’s Super Specials”? All I can tell you is that […]

I kept stopping and starting this one and at 30 percent gave up and moved onto two other books instead. I just think that Lisa Jewell is at best miss for me at this point. I think I will just check out a sample before I just borrow or buy anymore. This is the first in a duology I believe, and I have zero intention of finishing this. The only thing I can tell you is that a woman named Libby finds out about her […]

Lost Souls Meet Under A Full Moon by Mizuki Tsujimura, Yuki Tejima (Translator)

Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon by Mizuki Tsujimura

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I absolutely loved this collection of stories told under the umbrella of a mysterious person called “the Go-Between”. A person that is able to set up meetings with the living and the dead, preferable during the full moon. Each story follows four people who reach out to this person and then the last portion of this book has us finding out who the “Go-Between” is and how they […]
