Don't Fear the Reaper by Stephen Graham Jones
Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not effect my rating or review. I just need to give up. I am never going to be in love with Stephen Graham Jones works like my horror friends are. I have tried people. This book was just a mess. Parts of it shone, and I get why my friends … [Read more]
