Humbug by Luciano Marano
Rate this book
Clear rating
Delightfully gruesome Dickens retelling! Really enjoyed this. Marano is an incredible writer with a knack for tough guy dialogue and violence. Great novella for those who want a little counter-programming to the usual holiday cheer.

We Will Speak Again of The Red Tower by Carson Winter
"Guess who’s back
Back again
Ligotti’s back
Tell a friend
(expect you’re reading Ligotti so you obviously don’t have any) "
A Spectre is Haunting Greentree by Carson Winter
"True to Carson's gritty, in-your-face style, A Spectre is Haunting Greentree reads like a love-letter to the horror section of a 1980's video store. A transgressive delight, enjoy at your own risk. Just never trust the guy behind the camera."

Incredible weird horror novel that is something like The Blair Witch Project meets The Truman Show.

Wehunt’s novel is about the horror genre and its community, but is also about a post-secular need to find belief, elevating our obsessions until they

Quotes by Carson Winter  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“In some men, it might open a wound, a sad acknowledgment of the state of his marriage, but Ed did not think like that. He lived in the present and was happy to be loved in the present, if not in the past.”
Carson Winter, The Psychographist

“We, the many, will purge our lands of those that keep us under their thumbs. What community is truly a community when it is built on the backs of others? Which of us farms the fields? Which of us brings blood to these soils? To those that are so resolute in their superiority- we offer an alternative to their station.
This alternative is death. By our hands, by those that you have subjugated for so long.
It is true, we are not worldly. But that does not make us weak. We can be fooled, as our rulers have seen in the past. But silver tongues run red with righteous violence when the time is right.”
Carson Winter, A Spectre is Haunting Greentree
