My Review

Stories about haunted houses never get old for me. I’ve read a bunch of them. What I look for to make the story is the characters and the nature of the haunting, what’s behind it.

One By One is told from the perspective of Alice, a ten year old girl, and that makes it even creepier. It begins on the first night they stay in the new house. A strange building with a secret past and a chilling drawing on the wall of a family that eerily resembles theirs.  Her terrifying experiences in the house are brushed off as flights of fancy or nightmares by her parents. She’s even accused of doing some of the weird things that happen. Her older brother is no help. He just shuts himself in his room, listening to his music. But soon enough, it becomes apparent that something in the house is behind it. But what? And why? Figuring that out might be the only way they survive the house.

This story had eerie vibes right from the get go. I was hooked. Couldn’t wait to read on and see how events played out. The more into it I got, the darker and more mysterious it got. It takes a lot to make me wince and I did that several times. And to pull the wool over my eyes so completely. That was something. I looked up from the book, wanting someone to talk to about what just happened. No one but the dog was around. Darn it.

Calling all horror fans. A great story awaits you.

Synopsis

The Easton family has just moved into their new fixer-upper, a beautiful old house that they bought at a steal, and Alice, the youngest of the family, is excited to explore the strange, new place. Her excitement turns to growing dread as she discovers a picture hidden under the old wallpaper, a child’s drawing of a family just like hers. Soon after, members of the family begin to disappear, each victim marked on the child’s drawing with a dark black X. It’s up to her to unlock the grim mystery of the house before she becomes the next victim.

 The Town That Feared Dusk

by Calvin Demmer

44808282. sx318

Genre:  Horror / Short Story

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

I very much enjoyed Demmer’s, The Sea Was A fair Master. I don’t usually like every short story in a collection, but I did with those. I prepared myself for another quick punch to the gut, and got it.

Sylvia dreams of that one big story. The one that could make her as a journalist. Browsing through some old files, she comes across one her former colleague had started putting together. It struck her as peculiar that no red flags were raised in a small town where thirty-six people jumped to their deaths in a ten year period. It was worth a drive out there to investigate Suicide Bridge. The more she pursued the story, the weirder it became and it was already too late when she realized her hunger for fame put her in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 It’s always fun when I think I know which direction the story is going and the author takes it another way. And a scene near the end of the story reminded me of another book I’d read some time ago. I wish I could recall that title as I still think about it now and then. I still picture it in my head. The Town That Feared Dusk was a quick trip to the dark side and I think it would be even more fun as a full length book.

Synopsis

Sylvia Bernstein doesn’t want to end up on a dead-end path like a former journalism colleague. She begins searching the tabloid’s archives for a story that can get her career back on track. A strange bridge, with an abnormally high rate of suicides, seems like the perfect place to start. She journeys to the little town, eager to investigate, but encounters a tale far more sinister than she ever expected…

Some chit chat.

It’s been one of those weeks. So many things went wrong. I think the worst was my internet. The provider had to come out twice as it kept going off. I apologize for missing so many of your posts. You can imagine the amount of emails I had waiting for me to go through.

We finally got some rain and some cooler temps. I’m enjoying the brisk mornings but it still gets hot once the sun gets above the trees. It smells like fall!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

 Hill Haven Creeps And The Halloween King

by Brandon Berntson

48067382. sy475

Genre:  Horror / Middle Grade And Older

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

I came across this while looking for some Halloween books and had to grab it. It sounds creepy good and that cover is wicked.

Hill Haven Creeps is a small town where not much happens. Until… a carnival mysteriously appears at the fair ground. Stranger still, no one appears to be running it. Soon, people start disappearing, and dying. A group of young boys must get to the bottom of things before they too disappear.

Yep, sounds scary good. This gave me vibes similar to Something Wicked This Way Comes. And with a name like All Hallows Eve Midnight Traveling Spook Show, you know dark deeds are afoot.

The book took me back. Felt like where I grew up. And the cast of characters could have been in my school and neighborhood. We all used to help each other do our chores so we could set off together on new adventures. When a carnival came to town, we would be first in line. Enjoying the rides, munching on carnie food, and unable to resist entering the scary exhibits. Luckily, the carnivals weren’t anything like the one at Hill Haven Creeps.

Loads of atmosphere and genuine characters made this a scary good read for me. I eagerly turned the pages, excited to see what was coming next and how it would end. Just when I thought I knew something, the author would turn it all around. Great Halloween reading for the younger crowd and the young at heart.

Synopsis

It’s Halloween in Hill Haven Creeps, and the All Hallows Eve Midnight Traveling Spook Show has come to town. Empty tents flap in the breeze, but there’s no sign of the carnies.

For a group of close friends, the festivities have just begun. A masked figure haunts Trevor Sheevis in every reflection. Cole Reagor’s dream of being a stand-up comedian suddenly isn’t so funny, and Tommy Gallaghan’s cell phone makes ominous threats.

At school, Angela Rayburn is smiling at Mathew Potts, and for Ashley Gifford, the monster he fears most sleeps under his very same roof.

When their friend, Steven Delhomme, turns up missing, their worst fears come true.

The smell of autumn leaves is in the air, the first pumpkins are aglow, and the crows are gathering in the cornfields. The moon is full, and something is visible beyond the veil between the living and the dead calling itself the Scarecrow King.

As Halloween approaches, the dead exchange places with the living, and the All Hallows Eve Midnight Traveling Spook Show opens its doors.

In Hill Haven Creeps, every fear will come to life, and every dream will turn into a nightmare.

But will Halloween will have the final say?

Or is something more ominous on the night wind?

Read And Buried

A Lighthouse Library Mystery

by Eva Gates


Read and Buried: A Lighthouse Library Mystery
Cozy Mystery
6th in Series
Crooked Lane Books (October 15, 2019)
Hardcover: 325 Pages
ISBN-10: 1643852337
ISBN-13: 978-1643852331
Digital ASIN: B07P9MQV3F

Librarian Lucy Richardson unearths a mysterious map dating back to the Civil War. But if she can’t crack its code, she may end up read and buried.

The Bodie Island Lighthouse Library Classic Novel Book Club is reading Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne while workers dig into the earth to repair the Lighthouse Library’s foundations. The digging halts when Lucy pulls a battered tin box containing a Civil War-era diary from the pit. Tucked inside is a hand-drawn map of the Outer Banks accompanied by a page written in an indecipherable code.

The library is overrun by people clamoring to see the artifact. Later that night, Lucy and Connor McNeil find the body of historical society member Jeremy Hughes inside the library. Clearly Jeremy was not the only one who broke into the library–the map and the coded page are missing.

Lucy’s nemesis, Louise Jane McKaughnan, confesses to entering the library after closing to sneak a peek but denies seeing Jeremy–or his killer. When Lucy discovers that fellow-librarian Charlene had a past with Jeremy, she’s forced to do what she vowed not to do–get involved in the case. Meanwhile, the entire library staff and community become obsessed with trying to decode the page. But when the library has a second break in, it becomes clear that someone is determined to solve that code.

 Murderous Little Darlings

by John Hennessy

22923356

Genre:  Horror

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

Whenever kids are involved in a horror story it makes things extra creepy for me. Make them vampires, and even creepier.

Three siblings go on a killing spree. How could such young ones even do that? And get away with it? That’s an even bigger question.

This book sucked me right in. It’s fast paced with no wasted words. I kept wondering, are they really vampires. That would explain how they could do what they did. Vampires or not, they acted like any other siblings. Fighting among themselves but also protecting each other when it was needed. They felt very genuine.

Murderous Little Darlings was one I couldn’t put down. It’s a short read with a big bite and I started and finished it in one sitting. I sure liked it.

Synopsis

Three siblings. An endless list of victims. A whole lot of time to kill.

With two specimens of the undead on either side of her, Juliana knew there was no escape. Kill the one they had selected for her, or be killed, and become one of them. What had the neighbours in the road called them, back when their childhood pranks were just that?

Oh yes, she remembered now. Murderous Little Darlings. They had the faces of angels, but possessed the very soul of the Devil.

Marcus had fully embraced his vampire side from the moment he was born. Rocco was the second eldest, and had fought the temptation all of his life. Then Marcus finally broke him.

That just left Juliana. Will she resist them, or join in the hunt?

Ninth Session Banner

The Ninth Session Deborah Serani

Title: THE NINTH SESSION: A PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE NOVEL
Author: Deborah Serani
Publisher: TouchPoint Press
Pages: 190
Genre: Psychological Suspense/Thriller

My Review

First off, I have to mention the cover. How perfect for this suspenseful story. And a psychological thriller it is. From the opening scene where Dr. Alicia Reese finds her new patient having a full blown panic attack, I could tell the author was writing from personal knowledge about dealing with situations like this.

Hopefully, not quite like this. The patient is seriously disturbed and the more sessions they have, the more dark it becomes. Soon Alicia is put in an ethical position that could cost her her life.

I was caught up from the opening pages and raced to the finish. The more I read, the more I needed to read. The suspense built. Had to know what Lucas would reveal next. What was he planning in that disturbed mind of his? How would Alicia handle him and the professional situation she was put in?

Each step closer to answers kept me on edge. A fast, furious psychological thriller indeed and I’ll be watching for more from this author.

BOOK BLURB

Dr. Alicia Reese, a recent widow and a CODA – a child of Deaf Adults, takes on a new patient. Lucas Ferro reveals the reason for his consultation is that he wasn’t really open with his previous therapist. After gaining Reese’s trust, he shares aspects of his life that are clearly disturbing – experiences that create anxiety and panic, but also reveal horrifying psychopathology. Instead of referring Ferro elsewhere, Reese chooses to continue working with him, feeling reinvigorated by the challenge of his case.

As sessions progress, and Ferro’s disclosures become more menacing, Reese finds herself wedged between the cold hard frame of professional ethics and the integrity of personal truth – and learns just how far she’s willing to go, willing to risk and willing to lose to do the right thing.

Buried
by Sian B. Claven
Genre: Horror
 

Home is where the heart is … or the hatred.

You can feel the love and care someone puts into their home just by
walking into it. Equally, you can feel the hatred and malice when you
step into a home where dark deeds have been done.
Alex and his team of so-called paranormal investigators are given the
opportunity of a lifetime when they are able to film inside one of
the most haunted, and cursed, locations in their area.
The Jackson Mansion.
The thing that makes this mansion truly unique is that it
is built completely underground. Determined to uncover the dark
secrets of the mansion’s past, and prove himself a notable
investigator, Alex doesn’t care what it takes. The mansion, however,
has other ideas, as well as some rather restless occupants.
 
 
Born in South Africa, in the heart of Johannesburg, Sian Claven grew up
with a vivid imagination. When she wasn’t immersing herself in books,
she was actively creating her own stories.
At 29 years old,
left to her own devices after her sister immigrated, Sian, wrote her
first horror book Ensnared and dared to publish it under the guidance
of indie authors Toni Cox and Ashleigh Giannaccaro.
Now she has released more than ten books including a thriller and sci-fi fantasy.
In 2019, Sian took up the challenge of publishing 11 books in 11 months.
Sian came second place in the First Annual Indie Awards for Favourite African Author.
Sian’s book, Sylvana, the final book in her Butcher series, made the Amazon top
100 best sellers list in several categories across three countries.
In her spare time, Sian is an avid Harry Potter
fan, pop collector and Bingo addict. She resides in Johannesburg with
her 2 best friends, their daughter, their 6 dogs and 2 cats.

 Bane County: Returning Moon

Bane County #2

by J R Rice

36160061. sx318

Genre:  Horror

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

My Review

I loved the first book and couldn’t wait to see where this would take me. It’s been almost twenty years since the horrific events and Bryce and Jackson have grown up and settled into their lives. But, they’ve not forgotten what happened and are getting ready for what’s to come.

The author did such a great job with these characters. Bryce and Jackson feel like the adult’s they’ve become, haunted by the past and fearing the future. Once again I worried about their survival. The beast was awakening and they must again do battle against a deadly, almost unstoppable foe.

This was even crazier than the first book. There was more than one evil the guys had to deal with and the action scenes were bloody mayhem. I really liked how things from the past were explained. It made me love the good guys even more and I hoped for a bad ending for the evil participants in this story.

Many side characters again made appearances and several played key roles in the battles. Sure made things interesting and ramped up the excitement and suspense.

I couldn’t have asked for more in this continuation in the series and already have the next book lined up.

Synopsis

For nearly two decades, life in the small rural town of Silver Canyon had been peaceful and serene. People went about their daily lives as usual, completely oblivious to the inescapable horror that loomed on the horizon.

All but a select few of Bane County’s residents had forgotten the macabre occurrences of the past. It was hard to believe that twenty-one people, missing or dead, in only three months’ time had been so easily dismissed.

Bryce McNeel and Jackson Campbell had been at the heart of those horrific events, and the tragic memories of that long, bloody season still weighed heavily on them, especially since they knew it wasn’t over.

The time was quickly approaching when a long-slumbering evil would reawaken, and the horrors of the past would revisit the people of Bane County. Somewhere within the dark cavernous depths of the wildlife refuge, something ravenous awaited, longing for its time to rise.

As Bryce and Jackson prepared themselves, they were unaware that an even deadlier adversary would come for them, and once again, they would find themselves in a battle for their lives.

The truth is out there…

Way out there.

Susan Witsend, owner of the best little UFO-themed B&B in the Sierras, is absolutely, positively, not going to get involved in another murder case. Not with her small-town sheriff threatening jail time if she interferes in one more investigation.

So when her neighbor is murdered, Susan exerts all her willpower to stay out of the sheriff’s business. But her neighbor’s daughter, Clare, needs Susan’s help. Clare’s been experiencing lost time, a sure sign of alien abduction. Helping Clare is only neighborly… and totally not interfering.
Right?

Worse, Clare’s not the only one with UFO issues. Weird lights in the sky, vanishing cows, and little green men are bringing the mountain town of Doyle to the edge of a panic. Can Susan unearth the truth before her town spirals into chaos?
If you like laugh-out-loud mysteries with complicated heroines (and breakfast recipes), you’ll love Close Encounters of the Curd Kind, book 3 in the Wits’ End series of cozy mystery novels. Read this twisty cozy caper today!

About Author Kirsten Weiss

Kirsten Weiss has never met a dessert she didn’t like, and her guilty pleasures are watching Ghost Whisperer re-runs and drinking red wine. The latter gives her heartburn, but she drinks it anyway.

Now based in San Mateo, CA, she writes genre-blending cozy mystery, supernatural and steampunk suspense, mixing her experiences and imagination to create vivid worlds of fun and enchantment.

If you like funny cozy mysteries, check out her Pie Town, Paranormal Museum and Wits’ End books. If you’re looking for some magic with your mystery, give the Witches of Doyle, Riga Hayworth, and Rocky Bridges books a try. And if you like steampunk, the Sensibility Grey series might be for you.

Kirsten sends out original short stories of mystery and magic to her mailing list. If you’d like to get them delivered straight to your inbox, make sure to sign up for her newsletter at kirstenweiss.com
