Horrorstor
by Grady Hendrix
Genre: Horror
Synopsis
Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland, Ohio. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring bookshelves, shattered Glans water goblets, and smashed Liripip wardrobes. Sales are down, security cameras reveal nothing, and store managers are panicking.
To unravel the mystery, three employees volunteer to work a nine-hour dusk-till-dawn shift. In the dead of the night, they’ll patrol the empty showroom floor, investigate strange sights and sounds, and encounter horrors that defy the imagination.
A traditional haunted house story in a thoroughly contemporary setting, Horrorstör comes packaged in the form of a glossy mail order catalog, complete with product illustrations, a home delivery order form, and a map of Orsk’s labyrinthine showroom.

I added this to my list back in September of 2014. I can’t believe I let it get buried on my shelf and stay there for so long. It’s sitting on my night stand now!

The Forever House
by Tim Waggoner
Genre: Horror
My Review
I don’t normally compare books to movies, but if I had to describe this story, it would be Rose Red meets The Burbs.
I thought of Rose Red because it wasn’t just the Eldreds that were odd and creepy. It was also the house. It appeared to be ordinary until the neighbors were lured inside. Then it became a house of horrors.
And I thought of The Burbs because of the vibes I got when the family first drove into the neighborhood. The weird automobile they drove, the way they remained unseen, until they wanted to be seen, and how you could sense something wasn’t right about them.
Right from the beginning, the author built this atmosphere of dread. Then he introduced the players. It’s pretty obvious why the Eldreds chose the people they did. Most had plenty of secrets and baggage to feed off of. Once it was time to feed, things got nuts. Each of the Eldred were different in form and they were wickedly creative in terrifying their victims to get the most out of their feedings.. And there’s this robot thing I grew to really like, in a weird way.
It all rushed to a bloody ending for most of the characters. And for those that did survive, well, the author threw a wicked curve ball about what happened to them.
4 STARS
Thanks so much to Flame Tree Press and Author Tim Waggoner for a complimentary copy. My review is voluntarily given.

Synopsis
In Rockridge, Ohio, a sinister family moves into a sleepy cul de sac. The Eldreds feed on the negative emotions of humans, creating nightmarish realms within their house to entrap their prey. Neighbors are lured into the Eldreds’ home and faced with challenges designed to heighten their darkest emotions so their inhuman captors can feed and feed well. If the humans are to have any hope of survival, they’ll have to learn to overcome their prejudices and resentments toward one another and work together. But which will prove more deadly in the end, the Eldred . . . or each other?

Some chit chat.
I tried to be good. Do everything I could, but….. I got sick. Everyone at work had some kind of cold or flu, I pumped my body up as best I could, but it got me. Fever, body aches and it feels like I’m swallowing razor blades. I’m sorry I wasn’t around much. Tried to sleep as much as possible to let my body recuperate. Hopefully, I kick this soon and I’ll be back to visiting everyone!
Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

I was shocked to discover that I didn’t have anything scheduled on the blog for today. Since I’ve been sick all week I thought to do something that wouldn’t make my head ache more than than it already does. LOL
So, I’m sharing my recent read and it’s so my kind of story. White Anvil has a very unique spin on the sasquatch, and what better setting for things to go berserk than on a train, during a major snow storm, with some very angry cryptids.
White Anvil
Sasquatch Onslaught
by Matt Betts
Genre: Horror
Synopsis
As if the cold wasn’t enough…
Fleeing an approaching blizzard, a military train carrying prisoners and a handful of citizens derails in the mountains. The survivors fight to stay alive and regroup as the terrible storm buries them in snow. Only then do they discover the train also carried another cargo—two cars loaded with biological experiments—genetically-altered sasquatches conditioned to annihilate anything they find.
Can the few remaining soldiers team with a pair of sisters and a police constable to fight the relentless beasts, icy temperatures, and escaped prisoners long enough for help to arrive?
~~~~~
I was immediately sucked into the story. The author started to set up the plot. Major characters were introduced. And the creatures were hinted at. And that was just in the first chapter. While the train is a military transport of dangerous creatures, it’s not just soldiers onboard. There are some people hitching a ride that have no idea what’s in some of the cars, and some people using the train to hitch a ride for their own reasons.
I keep feasting my eyes on that cover. It’s perfect for the story.
And I can’t wait to see what’s coming!

Talon
by Julie Kagawa
Genre: YA / Fantasy / Romance
Synopsis
THE DRAGONS OF TALON: Once hunted nearly to extinction, they are now poised to take over the world.
THE ORDER OF ST. GEORGE: The legendary dragonslayers will stop at nothing to wipe dragons from the face of the earth.
These mortal enemies are locked in secret and deadly combat, with humanity none the wiser.
To take her rightful place in the Talon organization, young dragon Ember Hill must prove she can hide her true nature and blend in with humans. Her delight at the prospect of a summer of “normal” teen experiences is short-lived, however, once she discovers that she’s also expected to train for her destined career in Talon. But a chance meeting with a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught.
As Ember struggles to accept her future, St. George soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian is tasked with hunting her down. But when faced with Ember’s bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything the Order has ingrained in him—and what he might be willing to give up to uncover the truth about dragons.

I added this to my list back in November of 2017. I remember being so excited to get a copy. How did it end up buried in the stacks? At least it wasn’t lonely as there were many others buried there. LOL I hope to start this soon.

The Not-So Dead
by Isaiyan Morrison
The Dead Series, #1
Publication date: January 21st 2020
Genres: Fantasy, Horror, Young Adult
Synopsis
All Faye wants is another chance at being normal: hanging out with friends, playing video games, reading the latest Manga… As a wraith, her craving for a normal existence seems forever out of reach. When she makes the move to the small town of Hueman, Texas with her not-so dead nomadic family, she prays this fresh start will be the one that sticks.
Until… one of her kind is murdered by a mysterious man in a black mask.
With only Carter, an unlucky human witness, by her side, Faye must find a way to prevent the body count from rising and protect her family’s secret identity. As the man in the black mask lurks in the shadows waiting to strike again, her choice becomes a matter of life and death.
In the face of true evil, being normal is overrated.
