Grady Henrix wrote this fantastic book called Horrorstör, about a haunted Ikea-knock off, that I just loved. It was weird and gross and all around awesome. His next novel, My Best Friend’s Exorcism, does not disappoint; in fact, it’s even weirder and grosser and awesomer. “‘Hot damn!’, he shouted. ‘We got ourselves a demon!’” Set in the 1980s (and wonderfully so — this book is packed to the gills with 80s pop culture), My Best Friend’s Exorcism is about…well, exactly that.

If you are a fan of the movies and games listed above than seek this one out immediately. Amy is an aimless […]

For someone who eventually latched onto Jo as, like, main role model number one (tied with, I don’t know, Elizabeth Bennet and Hermione Granger, probably), this is just unacceptable. I finally read it in high school, which I suppose means I actually DID read it as a child, but teenhood feels so much different than childhood, yeah? Plus, the only reason I read it, I’m fairly certain, is because […]
