Wolf worm by T. Kingfisher
Bingo Square: 26 (2026 release) I was actually kind of dreading this one when we chose it as our horror fantasy novel for fantasy book club. But why? T. Kingfisher is so fun and great and we all love her. I had actually started this back in March or April when it came out and just lost interest halfway through because it was kind of slow, dare I even say boring. Fortunately, this second time around, I was able to stick with it and finish […]
The Sleepless Nights of the Boy with No Eyelids and Other Twisted Tales by Marmalade Atkinson, Alex Thompson and G P Taylor
Say Hello to Mr. Wallaby! Volume 1 by Marume Goshika

But all of these elements work well together, and all have something new and intriguing brought out of them by the bleak Montana landscape in which they take […]
Thinner by Stephen King; Richard Bachman
Cbr18 Bingo – Wheels from all the cars in the book, including the one that the protagonist used to kill an old woman. By accident. A recent conversation encouraged me to try Thinner by Stephen King, written as Richard Bachman. The first time I found the story, I recognized it. Not because the story had permeated pop culture by the time I got to it, but because my grandmother used to tell me about the books she read. But she told them as if they […]
Don't Let the Forest In by C.G. Drews
