MY REVIEW

Did you read the synopsis? It sold me. One of my favorite settings is a cold desolate place where isolation is it’s own character. Antarctica is that on steroids.

A group of scientists, some of the best of the best, are tasked with unraveling the mystery of something discovered under the ice. A lost civilization. It seems to have connections to other discoveries from around the world. Disturbing carvings, mutated skulls and a mummified nightmare.

Can you see where this is going? Yep, what was buried should have remained buried. But, now exposed, a virus is unleashed and beings that see us as prey begin targeting the scientists.

Some people may not enjoy stories told from multiple points of view but I felt it made it a more tantalizing experience for me. Especially as these are scientists with their own disciplines and belief. They ask and answer their own questions and this made me excited for each new chapter.

Do you enjoy isolated settings, ancient discoveries, possibilities of previous alien life and being dropped into immanent danger of unknown origin, this is one for you.

Synopsis

spider web photo: Spider Hanging from Web webwht.gif

THEY ARE NOT HUMAN.
At a research station in Antarctica, five of the world’s top scientists have been brought together to solve one of the greatest mysteries in human history. Their subject, however, is anything but human . . .

THEY ARE NOT NATURAL.
Deep beneath the ice, the submerged ruins of a lost civilization hold the key to the strange mutations that each scientist has encountered across the globe: A misshapen skull in Russia. The grotesque carvings of a lost race in Peru. The mummified remains of a humanoid monstrosity in Egypt . . .

THEY ARE NOT FRIENDLY.
When a series of sound waves trigger the ancient organisms, a new kind of evolution begins. Latching onto a human host—crossbreeding with human DNA—a long-extinct life form is reborn. Its kind has not walked the earth for thousands of years. Its instincts are fiercer, more savage, than any predator alive. And its prey are the scientists who unleashed it, the humans who spawned it, and the tender living flesh on which it feeds . .

 Meddling Kids

By Edgar Cantero

.

Genre: Horror / Mystery / Paranormal

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

MY REVIEW

The title and cover say it all. A group of teenagers, once calling themselves the Blyton Summer Detective Club, are thrown back together as something is once again terrorizing their home town.

I’m huge on character driven stories. Oh boy are their some in this book.  And it looks like they haven’t come close to living up to their full potential. I had huge doubts on their capability to handle the dangers coming their way but I did think it would be fun to see how they coped, and it was. A disorganized, harrowing mess that got scary and weird. Gotta love that, right?

My favorite thing was how clueless I was about where things were going to end up. There was so much coming at me and I just let myself go with the flow. Lots of action, mystery and some scenes that made me cringe. I had a pretty good feeling that I would enjoy Meddling Kids and I’m happy to tell you I did.

Thanks so much to Simon & Schuster and the author for a complimentary copy. My review is voluntarily given.

Synopsis

1990. The teen detectives once known as the Blyton Summer Detective Club (of Blyton Hills, a small mining town in the Zoinx River Valley in Oregon) are all grown up and haven’t seen each other since their fateful, final case in 1977. Andy, the tomboy, is twenty-five and on the run, wanted in at least two states. Kerri, one-time kid genius and budding biologist, is bartending in New York, working on a serious drinking problem. At least she’s got Tim, an excitable Weimaraner descended from the original canine member of the team. Nate, the horror nerd, has spent the last thirteen years in and out of mental health institutions, and currently resides in an asylum in Arkham, Massachusetts. The only friend he still sees is Peter, the handsome jock turned movie star. The problem is, Peter’s been dead for years.

The time has come to uncover the source of their nightmares and return to where it all began in 1977. This time, it better not be a man in a mask. The real monsters are waiting.

 Little Monsters

By Maire Roche

.

Genre: Fantasy / Horror / Middle Grade

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

MY REVIEW

I read the synopsis and quickly felt I could relate. I also have three sisters and I’m sure the neighborhood kids thought we might be monsters. It got me thinking how cool it would be if we had been. What mayhem we could cause.

What a fun retelling of Little Women. The sisters are monsters. They keep it secret, fearing what that knowledge might do with their relationship with the neighbors. Monsters mean scary, something to be feared. So, when a strange monster ventures near their town and bad things start happening, Meg is determined to get to the bottom of things and protect her secret.

There was a lot more going on here than just a mysterious creature lurking in the woods. Meg is waking up in strange places with no memory of how she got there. She has to hide from her foster mother the fact all of the sisters are monsters. What if they get split up? That was a heavy burden to carry all by herself. When she meets Brooks she’s smitten. He’s cute and kind. Can she trust him with her secret? I sure hoped so. Meg worked her way into my heart and a little bit of joy for her would also make me happy. I kept my fingers crossed.

The forest was a character in itself. And the monster lurking there? I wondered. Made a few guesses on who it was. And had a rollicking good time finding out.

Young angst and family unity made this a special story for me. Took me back to my own experiences and I feel young readers will enjoy the fun story and relate to these girls.

Thanks so much to Simon & Schuster and the author for a complimentary copy. My review is voluntarily given.

Synopsis

In this modern supernatural middle grade retelling of the beloved classic Little Women, the March sisters have a monstrous secret Meg will do anything to protect—especially with another beast lurking in the woods threatening to expose them.

Meg March and her three sisters are monsters. No, really. Meg has teeth that are a little too sharp. Jo gets furry under the full moon. Beth goes night flying on wings that are impossible to hide under her sweaters. And Amy? Well, don’t let her near a body of water or she’ll start sprouting her mermaid’s tail.

Meg is sure their foster mom, Marmee, wouldn’t like any of this if she knew. And Jo’s best friend Laurie, the nice boy next door, would run screaming. To make matters worse, Meg’s small town outside of Salem is on edge. A vicious beast has been spotted in the forest, and Farmer Bhaer believes it’s responsible for his missing chickens. Meg is sure to be blamed if anyone realizes she’s a monster in disguise. And the closer it gets to Halloween, the surer the town is that something evil is hiding in the forest.

Meg doesn’t always remember what she gets up to at night, and sometimes, she wakes alone in a mossy part of the forest and has to find her way back. With John Brooke determined to find out just what Meg is hiding and locals working to uncover the monsters in their midst, Meg must find the culprit herself—or risk losing the little home she’s found with her sisters.

 Wild Spaces

By S. L. Coney

,

Genre: Horror / Fantasy

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

MY REVIEW

Well, the synopsis sure hooked me. A young boy was living his best life with his supportive parents and his trusted companion, his dog Teach. His grandfather descended on this idyllic life and everything changed.

If you notice that I didn’t give the boy’s name, it’s because the author only named one character, the dog, Teach. I enjoyed the character’s being named as what they were, not who they were. It allowed me to see them for myself, and as the foreboding and darkness fell upon the family, the more clearly I saw them.

Right from the beginning I could feel the suspense looming over the events even before anything really occurred. It was almost like a flavor sprinkled over the words. And as my curiosity grew, I anxiously waited for the other foot to drop. Boy, did it. And in a way I was hoping it would. This may be a coming of age tale but it also had some pretty dark, disturbing and scary elements. Gotta love it when your heart rate speeds up.

4 STARS

~~~~~

Synopsis

Robert R. McCammon’s Boy’s Life meets H. P. Lovecraft in Wild Spaces, a foreboding, sensual coming-of-age debut in which the corrosive nature of family secrets and toxic relatives assume eldritch proportions.

An eleven-year-old boy lives an idyllic childhood exploring the remote coastal plains and wetlands of South Carolina alongside his parents and his dog Teach. But when the boy’s eerie and estranged grandfather shows up one day with no warning, cracks begin to form as hidden secrets resurface that his parents refuse to explain.

The longer his grandfather outstays his welcome and the greater the tension between the adults grows, the more the boy feels something within him changing —physically—into something his grandfather welcomes and his mother fears. Something abyssal. Something monstrous.

 Night Magic

By Jenna Black

.

Genre: Horror / Urban Fantasy / YA

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

MY REVIEW

After loving the first book, Nightstruck, I had high hopes for this next book. The ending had left me very concerned for Becket.  She wasn’t herself anymore, fully embracing the change.

Becket wasn’t recognizable anymore. She looked the same but her sense of self was buried, pushed aside since becoming Nightstruck.  It really saddened me. The influence of her boyfriend took her farther and farther out of reach of her friends and family. The city was in peril as were the residents and Becket couldn’t care less.

This book was intense. It was creepier and darker. More character development, something I always appreciate, and more danger amped up my anticipation. And the finale…. woop woop.

5 STARS

~~~~~

Synopsis

Jenna Black returns to the quarantined city of Philadelphia, where an unsuspecting seventeen-year-old has unknowingly unleashed a dark power that transforms the city into a monstrous hellscape in Night Magic.

Philadelphia is locked in the grip of an evil magic that transforms its streets into a nightmare landscape the minute the sun sets each night. While most of the city hunkers down and hopes to survive the long winter nights, Becket Walker is roaming the darkened streets having the time of her life.

Once, the guilt of having inadvertently let the night magic into the city―and of having killed her onetime best friend―had threatened to destroy her. But now she’s been Nightstruck, and all her grief and guilt and terror have been swept away―along with her conscience. So what if she’s lost her friends, her family, and her home? And so what if her hot new boyfriend is super-controlling and downright malevolent?

Mesmerized by the power and freedom of not having to care about anyone but herself, Becket is sinking ever deeper into the night magic’s grasp. But those who love her refuse to give up on her―even if she’s given up on them. If they can’t find a way to help Becket break the night magic’s hold, the entire city might soon find itself shrouded in perpetual night. But the last thing Becket wants is to be “rescued” from her brand new life, and she will fight tooth and claw to stay exactly where she is.

 Horror Library, Volume 9

Editor Eric J. Guignard

.

Genre: Horror / Adult

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

MY REVIEW

I was so lucky to be introduced to this Horror Library back at the beginning. Appreciating how difficult it must be to tell a story in fewer words, put you in that story, develop characters and move the plot quickly has made me a huge fan.

I also love finding new authors in genres I love. I’ve sure found so many, and including new ones in this volume. And there are some familiar names in the lineup too.

With 30 stories it would take up so much space to review them individually.  So, while I’m not one to mention favorites, I’m making an exception. Here are my top five in no particular order. Found You, Before His Time, Third Floor Windows, The Drowning Kind and I don’t Wanna Go To Mexico No More, More, horror,More.

So many stories. So much individuality. So many chills and thrills. Fans of the unexpected and fearful will enjoy these sips of the known and unknown. I sure did.

5 STARS

 Don’t Go To Sleep

By Bryce Moore

.

Genre: YA / Horror / Historical / Mystery

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

MY REVIEW

I’m a big fan of true crime. Whether reading about it or watching documentaries. Though this book is fiction, The Axeman Of New Orleans was very real.

I enjoy historical mysteries. Especially those with a horror and supernatural element to them. The setting for this story is New Orleans during the Spanish Flu epidemic. I could relate after Covid. A serial killer is adding to his victim count and he has a specific type. Italians and Italian Americans. That doesn’t mean he’ll stick to the criteria and fear spreads.

I wasn’t expecting a supernatural twist and it didn’t quite hit for me. The main characters were interesting but for some reason I couldn’t get that anxious feeling for them that I should have. I did find the epidemic intriguing. And I was very curious about the killings. Enough to do some googling of my own.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and would try more from this author.

3 STARS

Synopsis

A seventeen-year old girl goes up against the notorious axeman murderer in 1918 in this suspenseful historical fiction story from the author of The Perfect Place to Die.

Gianna is the average seventeen-year-old girl living in 1918 New Orleans. She worries about her family’s store, the great war, and a mysterious illness that’s about to take hold of the city she loves.

It doesn’t help that there also appears to be a mad man on the loose in her neighborhood. The attacks started as burglaries but soon escalate to cold blooded murder. There’s a killer out there, and the police can’t seem to figure out how to stop him.

Gianna enlists the help of her friend Enzo to investigate. And as they study the crimes, they see a common link between the victims, and Gianna can’t help but wonder if it’s the same man who attacked her family years before.

As Gianna gets closer to the killer, she discovers a connection between them that she never would have suspected.

 Night Of Madness

By Ryan Douglass

.

Genre: YA / Horror / Thriller

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

MY REVIEW

For slasher horror themed books, this one is right up my alley. Sure, it’s YA, but don’t let that fool you. The danger and mayhem real and intense.

The plot may not sound like a new one. Just you wait. Young influencers are selected to survive an overnight contest taking place on the set of a horror movie. Whoever lasts until morning wins a bunch of money. You expect things to go wrong, and they do. Very wrong.

What’s my bread and butter is the character driven story. You put several strangers together, place then in a life or death situation, and wait to see who survives. I enjoy trying to guess who steps up, who cracks under pressure and who is the first to lose. I sorted out who I wanted to win. But…… this is a horror thriller and nothing is guaranteed. There are no rules. And the person running the show likes that idea.

I really liked Night Of Madness. Ryan Douglas is now on my author’s list to keep an eye on.

Thanks so much to Simon Pulse and the author for a complimentary copy. My review is voluntarily given.

Synopsis

Teen influencers compete in a horror movie–themed overnight competition, only to realize the real test is staying alive in this chilling, blood-soaked horror novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Taking of Jake Livingston and the production company behind Clown in a Cornfield.

Mara is a horror buff whose only fond memories of her dad are bonding over movies by Jack Stanley—the producer of the eighties. Stanley’s campy slasher movies may have kept Mara’s fraught parental relationship on life support and gained a cult following, but the man himself has faded from the public eye…until he announces a contest centered around Asylum, his most terrifying film. Five teen influencers will be invited to spend the night on the fully constructed set; whoever sticks it out until morning wins a hundred thousand dollars.

Stuck in a dead-end job, Mara seriously needs that cash. She may not be a famous influencer, but there has to be a way to manufacture an online presence that will capture Stanley’s attention. With the help of her brother and best friend, Mara finds some creative solutions to her dilemma and lands herself onto the roster of the lucky chosen few by way of her engaging authenticity.

When Mara and the other contestants arrive on set, it’s a horror fan’s dream being immersed in the asylum setting, but as the night wears on, they realize the danger is more than movie magic… They’re not there to win or lose but to live or die. As Mara fights to survive, she discovers an inner ruthlessness she didn’t know she had. Just how far will she go to see the sunrise—and will she still recognize herself by the end?

Genre: Horror / Urban Fantasy / Supernatural

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

MY REVIEW

They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. I believe that, but….. this is a killer cover and right from first glance had me leaning in to see everything. Then, I read the synopsis and was sold.

Imagine. You’re walking down the street at night. The same street you always walk on. And something catches your eye. You stop, trying to figure out what’s different. It’s not obvious, but you notice the decorative iron fence has changed. Then, you cut through the park and something about the trash can raises the hairs all over your body. You give it a wide berth, chalking it up to your imagination. Not long after you’re being chased by said trash can.

Becket hadn’t mean for it to happen. She thought she was rescuing an abandoned baby. That’s not what it was though. Now, the city that looks normal during the day has turned into a deadly otherworldly domain at night. This book was right up my alley. I ate it up hook, line and sinker. I remember when I watched Stephen King’s IT. Never walked by another sewer drain without moving across the road again. And now I no longer casually walk across a manhole cover. You never know…….

I’d love for this made into a movie. Some of the scenes would be out of this world to see. Just look at the cover!

Synopsis

It starts with a cry in the night.

Becket, walking her dog one winter evening, fears it’s an abandoned baby left out in the cold. But it is something else—something evil—and it tricks Becket into opening a doorway to another realm, letting a darkness into our world, a corruption that begins transforming Philadelphia into a sinister and menacing version of itself…but only at night.

The changes are subtle at first, causing Becket to doubt her senses and her sanity. But soon the nightmarish truth is impossible to deny: By day, the city is just a city, but at night it literally comes alive with malevolent purpose. Brick and steel become bone, streetlights turn into gallows, and hungry alleys wait to snare mortal victims. Terrified citizens huddle indoors after dusk, as others succumb to the siren song of the night, letting their darker sides run wild.

Once, Becket’s biggest problems were living up to her police commissioner father’s high expectations and a secret crush on her best friend’s boyfriend. Now she must find a way to survive and protect her loved ones…before the darkness takes her as well.

 Fright Short Stories Of Terror, Horror And Fear

By Kevin Bachar

Genre: Horror

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

MY REVIEW

Beware…… scares await. Ooh, I love a good scare. And when I get a bunch in one book, even better. You never know what lurks. Waiting to make those hairs stand up on the back of your neck and flinch at the little noises just loud enough to hear but not able to identify what they are, or what’s making them.

I try not to pick favorites but A Pile Of Rocks won out. All of these were good and Kevin gave a lot of different scenarios. I couldn’t help but feel bad for the characters. Many were left with making the choice between the lesser of bad decisions.

I watch lots of scar podcasts and these would fit right in.

Synopsis

A father and his two children visit a roadside attraction with a very special and very dangerous corn maze.

When a man rents a car with a CD stuck in its player, he decides to hit play and listen. Unfortunately, it’s a recording of a warning to the current driver, “Don’t leave the car.”

A lonely Fire Watch Ranger battles an unseen force that wants to enter her tower.

What happens when a NYC Detective interrogates a murderer who was supposedly executed years before?

From the writer who brought you the best-selling short story collections DREAD, CREEP, and CURSED comes a new set of tales that will force you to lock the doors and turn on the lights. FRIGHT is book three in the TRILOGY OF TERROR series.
FRIGHT is filled with the moments when our legs feel unsteady, and our hearts race, when the creatures and beings of the netherworld cross over and inhabit what we thought were safe spaces.
