Little Eve is an atmospheric read.

The true horror in this book is the horrendous actions the characters take against themselves and one another to prove their faith. The characters are isolated in this castle, surrounded by jagged rocks and the sea. They believe one day the Addler will come and save them while the rest of the world will burn. The Uncle uses this power to control both the women and the 4 children living there.

Overall, I really enjoyed this one. The pacing was a little slow, but it was because it was building the tension and stakes the whole way through. It starts out with a bang with the discovery of dead bodies everywhere, and then goes back in time and shows the characters and how they ended up there.

This was a wild ride.

Sundial explores the horrors with us as well as our family.

Rob has a very toxic family. Her husband is manipulative. Her kids fight all the time and have started taking things to the next level. So, to try and ease the tension in the household, she takes her daughter Callie to the desert to a place known as Sundial. Sundial is where Rob and her sister grew up. But a lot of deadly secrets lay in Rob's past, and she's laying them all out on the line for Callie in hopes of becoming closer with her daughter.

This book was hard to listen to at times. Not because of anything disgusting. But because of how awful this family was to one another.

Still, this book is beautiful. I enjoyed it and glad I got around to it.

A beautifully written historial horror.

Have you heard of the mysterious Isle of Eynhallow? I hadn't and I think that was a good thing. I enjoyed going into this book most of the way blind. This book explores the island, the families living off the land, and the mysterious guest who rows in one night.

Agnes and her family live off the land on the small, isolated isle of Eynhallow. Life takes a drastic turn when a strange man rows ashore, and with him comes sightings of something large and foreboding.

Overall I really enjoyed this one. It made me feel the same happy feeling I had when I read Slewfoot a few months ago.

Time for a review of a highly anticipated release for 2024!

The book follows the man who played "The Thin Kid" in the cult classic movie "Horror Movie." The funny thing is the movie was never fully released. Three scenes were uploaded to the internet and the movie took off. And now it's getting a reboot!

Some believe the movie is cursed. "The Thin Kid" is the only surviving cast member from the original small cast of the film. There were many accidents and bizarre occurrences on set.

This book will mess with your mind. It bounces back and forth between the present-day filming of the new movie and the filming of the movies back in the 90's. We see how deeply "The Thin Kid" got into his character, so much so that we're unsure if he's ever moved past his role... or if the role became him.

I will say it took me a little while to get into the flow of the book. It's told in a typical Tremblay way--a bit disjointed but worth the work in the end.

This book is perfect for readers who enjoy a solid Hollywood/cursed film type of read

Special thanks to Netgalley, Paul Tremblay, and William Morrorw Books for the opportunity to read an ARC of this book!
