A classic mystery that I apparently read twice?

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

April 12, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

Goodreads tells me I read this book back in 2020.  I don't remember reading it then, but I definitely read a version of it, because the setting and plot were familiar.  I think it was a modern retelling by a different author.  Goodreads tells me it might be In the Dark by Loreth Ann White.  I … [Read more]

Dark Stars

A wide variety of horror from Lovecraftian to historically inspired

Dark Stars by John F.D. Taff

April 12, 2022 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

I’ve said it before, but I love anthologies for the opportunity to speed date a variety of authors. While I’ve been reading more horror lately, it’s not a genre where I’m familiar with a lot of authors, so I jumped on the chance to read this anthology. In that respect, it was a complete success as I … [Read more]

The Nameless Ones

The Nameless Ones by John Connolly

April 12, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

A nice installment in the Charlie Parker series though most of the book follows Angel and Louis as they go about avenging themselves of people who are friends with Louis. Readers will recall some of the characters since they appeared in the last book. This feels much tighter than prior Charlie … [Read more]

“… until, like me, it disappeared.”

Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh

April 12, 2022 by booktrovert Leave a Comment

Ottessa Moshfegh is all about characters over plot. I cannot find the review I read that made me think I'd appreciate this book - but I think I picked it up based on the author and how much I enjoyed My Year of Rest and Relaxation. I'm not mad that I gave this book a try - as it happens, I DO value … [Read more]

Saint Death's Daughter

Necromantically animated mice, revenant nannies, and toe bones as love tokens

Saint Death's Daughter by C. S. E. Cooney

April 12, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 2 Comments

This book is incredibly indescribable. It’s macabre, joyful, and heartrending by turns and utterly unafraid to immerse the reader in an astonishingly detailed (and very queer) fantasy world, full of necromantically animated mice, revenant nannies, and toe bones as love tokens. Miscellaneous … [Read more]
