Blood Roots

Blood Roots by Richie Tankersley Cusick

November 14, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Trigger warning: Rape and incest Look, I grew up on Flowers in the Attic and this book was TOO MUCH! I maybe screeched a few times. I have usually enjoyed all of Tankersley Cusick’s young adult horror books, but this was just a bridge too far for me. Maybe because the main character was Too Stupid to Live (TSTL). Maybe it was because the secondary characters practically held up “We are Bad People” signs were being ignored by TSTL main character and were also cliche […]

Vampire

Vampire by Richie Tankersley Cusick

October 2, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

A solid YA horror novel with some elements that at times had me going what is happening a few times. The only thing that gave me pause was our heroine (Darcy) possibly getting involved with a relative in the end [read the book if you want to know about all of that]. I loved Richie Tankersley Cusick books as a teen and I still like them now even though I noted some minor things here and there. The main reason why I gave this 4 […]

Buddy Read: Pretty Weak Offering of Old School YA Horror

Help Wanted by Richie Tankersley Cusick

October 7, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Well, this is another one I that I didn’t read when it first came out. I don’t think I would have liked it as a kid either. This book was too all over the place and that ending was a bit odd since I think that Cusick is leaning towards a love triangle or something. Once again this one is more adult than I was thinking of for the time it was written (1993). We have a character threatening to rape the main character a […]

Deadly Halloween

Trick or Treat by Richie Tankersley Cusick

October 4, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Wow. Not too much to say except for the most part this was enjoyable. The book drags at times and the character development beyond a few people wasn’t really there, but this was a good representation of young adult horror books from the late 80s/90s. So “Trick or Treat” follows 16 year old Martha. Martha’s father has recently got married and is now moving him and Martha to move in with his new wife and his stepson in the town of Bedford. Martha hates the […]
