“Just a girl and her giant stuffed elk head”

The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher

January 9, 2023 by dreadpiratekel 2 Comments

The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher. I really enjoyed this. I read one of the author’s other horror novels The Twisted Ones last year and really enjoyed that one until the end, but then it sort of lost me a little bit. But this one? This one had me all the way through and I felt that it really stuck the landing. Rest of the review at my reading journal dreadpiratekel @ dreamwidth

A House With Good Bones

A House With Good Bones by T. Kingfisher

December 28, 2022 by Classic 2 Comments

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not effect my rating or review.  The main thing I will say is that this novella reads really similar to T. Kingfisher’s “The Twisted Ones.” At one point I wondered if I had accidentally started re-reading it. But even though it hits some of the same elements (terrible grandmother) it has some different ones (main character is a bug doctor). The novella jumps around a lot I thought. Things didn’t really gel for me […]

“I made faces like the faces on the rocks, and I twisted myself about like the dead ones, and I lay down flat on the ground like the twisted ones.”

The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher

November 9, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I gave T. Kingfisher’s horror oeuvre another shot and I’ve come to the conclusion that I like her romance/fantasy writing more, so I’ll give another one of those a try if I want to read anything else by her. This one follows Melissa, who goes by Mouse, as she heads down to North Carolina to clean out her grandmother’s house. She’s just had a bad breakup and needs to get out of Pittsburgh for a while, so when her dad asks her to take on […]

What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

November 2, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

I literally just wrote a review for the book I finished a day before I finished this one where I could barely remember what had happened or how I felt about it, and then comes this book where I feel like I just read it yesterday and it’s vividly imprinted on my brain. And yet I gave them the same rating. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Maybe I’ll bump this one up to 4.5 stars. It really was very well done. Fantastically creepy. I was already scarred for life […]

“No one ever believes me when I tell them my uncle Earl owns a museum.”

The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher

November 1, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

This is very readable and I’m glad I picked it up randomly at Barnes & Noble, but it didn’t live up to my hopes. I enjoyed Paladin’s Grace so much that I figured I’d see how Kingfisher did at horror. The Hollow Places follows Kara as she tries to recover from her recent divorce. She comes back to her small hometown to live with her uncle, who runs the Wonder Museum, full of taxidermy, Bigfoot memorabilia, and a picture of the Pope made of sunflower […]

Don’t mess with an angry gingerbread cookie!

A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher

October 31, 2022 by jomidi 2 Comments

I really adored A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher. This charming young adult fantasy novel was so much fun to read. A shout out to the YA librarian who mentioned how much she had loved this book. Mona is a 14 year old baker who has some limited magic capabilities. She can do things like make gingerbread cookies dance. One day, she finds a dead girl in the bakery and it turns out all magickers in her town are being targeted and […]
