“Hello, Hart-ache.” “Hello, Merciless”.

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen

January 23, 2023 by Malin 1 Comment

CBR Passport Challenge: New to Me author In a world very unlike our own, most people live on islands and when people die, they are not buried in coffins, but rather placed in boats and sent out to sea (like when we bury someone in the ground) or the boats are cremated. So undertakers don’t just need to know the rituals of cleaning and treating a body, there are rituals to follow and sacred words to be spoken – but they need to be able […]

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy

“Committing it to ink makes it truer.”

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen

December 11, 2022 by faintingviolet 6 Comments

This was a warm blanket of a macabre fantasy Romance about life, death, and making yourself actually live your life that I devoured in a day and have spent nearly a week searching my mind for how to review. There are a couple things that have held up the writing, one that it’s a weird book that is both very straightforward in its description but the minute you scratch at its surface it gets quite difficult to nail down, and second that this is a […]

Title Says It All

Suburban Hell by Maureen Kilmer

October 26, 2022 by Jake Leave a Comment

Read as part of CBR14 Bingo: Monster. One of the women in a group of suburban mom friends turns into a literal monster and it’s up to the other women to save her. For almost thirty years (maybe going on forty), the suburbs have been used as a setting to explore the murky themes beyond the American idyll of house/car/2.5 kids. From mystery to horror to…well whatever John Waters does, we’ve often seen the lily white burbs are not all they seem. The Tom Hanks-esque […]

Double Cannonballing with Canadian Zombies, Necromancers, and Demons

One Heart by Chace Verity

September 26, 2022 by Emmalita 9 Comments

Chace Verity is one of my favorite authors of the past couple of years. Their soft Canadian demon romances are delightful, weird, and fun. They also acknowledge and address the frustrations of existing in late stage capitalism with it’s dehumanization and the constant grind of mere existence. In One Heart, they give us a true romance where the love interest dies early in the book and then raise their middle fingers at Canada’s far Right. Perfect for spooky season election season. (If you can register […]

Zombie Anthology!!

Nights of the Living Dead by Jonathan Maberry and various

June 12, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

  This is another one of those collaboration efforts by a bunch of well known (especially in the zombie genre) authors.  Like all of the anthologies I’ve read this year (is anthology the right word?), some were realllllly really good, and I actually wanted to hear more about the characters and world that the author created.  Some were fine and I just read through them and they left my brain forever.  I don’t really remember any of them being truly bad though. There was one […]

A Slice of Fried Gold Movie History

You've Got Red on You: How Shaun of the Dead Was Brought to Life by Clark Collis

January 9, 2022 by faintingviolet 6 Comments

You’ve Got Red on You details the story of how 2004’s Shaun of the Dead, a low-budget British movie about Londoners battling zombies in a pub, became a horror-comedy whose fan base only continues to grow and with each passing year cements its place in pop culture history. I became aware of this book when its author, Clark Collis, guested on the Screen Drafts podcast for their episode on Zombie movies and I’m ever so glad I did. Collis takes the work he did on his […]
