A Dowry of Blood by ST Gibson

January 13, 2023 by Pooja 2 Comments

CBR15 Passport Challenge: Books you already own #1 In a lyrical letter to the lover she killed, Constanta recounts their history together, as well as that of his other ‘brides,’ and what drove them to do as they did. I had high hopes for this book. I don’t usually love vampire romances, because I feel like they often underplay the dark and twisted nature of the vampires of myth – so the fact that this book promised to go back to those terrifying roots drew […]

Not your mother’s book club

The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

November 19, 2022 by donttrustthe_bea Leave a Comment

My first time reading a Grady Hendrix novel, I did not realize he was the same author who wrote My Best Friend’s Exorcism and The Final Girl Support Group –  I imagine I will enjoy both of those novels as I quite liked this one. It gave me the same feeling as those first few seasons of True Blood, southern camp at its finest. Think Steel Magnolias, but with an added twist of body horror. Set during the late 80s and early 90s in South […]

Trick 'r Treat: Days of the Dead by Michael Dougherty

October 10, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith 6 Comments

Well, I finally got my answer, vis-à-vis the autism assessment. I won’t get the definitive answer until Friday when I have the follow-up appointment, as the guy who did my assessment has to first confer with everybody else, but he assured me that he was for sure on it and doesn’t see anybody else swaying him. Finally, that weight is off my shoulders and I have a name to put to why I am the way that I am. Now comes the hard part: telling people. While […]

A Flash in the Pan

Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda

August 22, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR 14 Bingo: Font I do like that dripping red font, like it’s been chalked on. Also Lydia is a font of misery. Lydia is a vampire – has been all her life, since her mother turned her as an infant. Now she’s living on her own for the first time, and having trouble tracking down blood. Though I did not know there was a term for them, I have long been aware of the Sad, Strange, Miserable Women that populate the modern literary landscape. […]

The Grief of Stones by Katherine Addison

For my friend Petra, without whom I would not be reading this series

The Grief of Stones by Katherine Addison

August 19, 2022 by Bea Pants 1 Comment

  Petra was my dear friend and a dyed in the wool book nerd. She passed away this past November and I miss her terribly. I think of her any time I read one of these books because she recommended the first one and I’m sad that she’s not reading the series with me. The Grief of Stones is the third book in the Goblin Emperor series and the second book in The Cemeteries of Amalo series by Katherine Addison. The Cemeteries series follows Celehar, […]

Hickey jokes, messy eating, and bubble baths.

Fangs by Sarah Andersen

July 6, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

There have been several coincidences lately. The most recent is I just found my Sarah’s Scribbles books by Sarah Andersen, then a few days later I found Fangs by them. Now that might not seem like a big deal, but I had not even thought about Andersen’s books in months (though I do have her weekly planner), and here I am getting bombarded by their wonderful work. I have not felt well for a few days (just the “summer blues” not due to sickness), but […]
