A man I’m convinced is three teen boys in a trenchcoat […]
Cats were the gangsters of the animal world, living outside the law and often dying there. There were a great many of them who never grew old by the fire
Somehow I never read this one as a kid. I think I recall my brother reading it and being super scared by it. Which is strange, because it IS terrifying, but I don’t think kids would be particularly vulnerable to it, as opposed to like It or The Stand. And then as an adult, I avoided it because I figured it would be outdated or cheesy (blaming the outdated and cheesy movie for that), but since they are thinking about remaking the movie, I figured why not. Oh! […]
The Invasion increases the fear in the already terrifying Call series
Please check out my last review for a more detailed description of the plot of The Call series, of which this is the second and final book. In short, this series is set in an Ireland where humans and fairies (or Sidhe) are mortal enemies, and teenagers are called to the land of the Sidhe to die horrible deaths or face mutilation as vengeance for the crimes of all humanity. The sequel follows Nessa, our main character from the first book, and fellow survivor Anto, in […]

Down the Rabbit Hole with Ira Levin
My latest writing project is of a spooky nature, so I thought I might get a little inspiration from one of my favorite horror movies, Rosemary’s Baby. It didn’t disappoint and holds up after many viewings. Mia Farrow is having a tough trimester in Rosemary’s Baby After the umpteenth time of watching poor Mia Farrow find out what was really behind her linen closet, I got to wondering about the source material. A trip to the library resulted in a bag full of Ira Levin thrillers: Rosemary’s […]
The Most Grim Series That I Still Love
I had just started a new book when I remembered that the sequel to The Call, The Invasion, came out for Kindle soon, so I abandoned what I was reading (sorry, The Sparrow, I’ll get back to you soon) to re-read The Call in anticipation. I used to read a lot of young adult novels. I still read a fair amount of them. But it’s rare that I find a young adult series as brave about being grim and dark as The Call is. I […]
