"Jon Cohn’s Kill Beth is a taut, psychological horror that thrives in the shadows between guilt, paranoia, and the inescapable pull of the past. The novel’s theatrical backdrop heightens the tension turning the stage itself into a haunted mindscape wh"

"This book was an absolute riot. It was crazy, frenetic fun in a way that reminded me of those ensemble horror movies from the 90s and 00s like Eight Legged Freaks, Slither, and many others. Fast paced, darkly funny, and filled with great characters, "

| Let me just start by saying I’m not one for reading blurbs before diving into books. I like to be surprised. And boy, was this a surprise. This is the second of Franklin's books I’ve read. Based on my experience from These Things Linger, I had a feel ...more | |

| Let me just start by saying WOW, I am absolutely bowled over by how excellent Extinction Dream was. I’m a big fan of Najberg’s work. Having read all of his books, I can confidently say this is my new favorite. While most of his stories have a science ...more | |

| First of all, I just want to shout from the rooftops that I loved this book. It was a fast-paced, panic-inducing read that I devoured in two sittings. But then again, as the author of my all-time favorite haunted house story, The Suffering, so I had ...more | |
“Honestly, if Paul Rudd were here and he asked you to go exploring with him, would you really say, ‘oh no, thank you, Paul Rudd, my boyfriend needs me?”

“While I don’t have any physical scars to show it, I understand what it’s like to live every day with regret over something that felt so small in the moment. At least with grand risks we know the potential consequences and have a modicum of understanding that we only have ourselves to blame. But it’s the regret and rage over the small moments that really haunt us, because they feel so avoidable in hindsight.”

“a bit like camp counselors; you’re thrown into a job looking after what essentially amounts to a bunch of rich kids. You’re isolated from the world, and the only people you can relate to are the other counselors. Add in a romantic Hawaiian backdrop, and it’s like getting thrown into an emotional blender.”

“There's some catharsis in just going through the motions—loading up everything I own into one bag and pretending like that’s all it takes to leave. Most times, it’s enough to soothe the itch for a while, like a cortisone cream for the soul.”

“First of all, this is not a hotel. This is an exclusive resort for members and their guests only. Anyone you see on this property not wearing an orange shirt is not just rich—they’re obscenely rich.”

“I move a little closer to get a better look at the dead whale. The entire flank of the behemoth has been eaten away. Its guts splay out across the beach, presented like a buffet for maggots.”

“I reach back into my bag, fumbling around for anything I can use as a weapon. My fingers find purchase on the paper-wrapped base of a snow globe, and a white-hot surge of energy pours into me. I hold my family memory tightly as I smash it into Ricky’s temple.”

“I squint at its features and vaguely recognize its face, even though it’s distorted and deformed beyond human proportions. Its jaw opens, revealing an overstuffed mouth lined with long, thin teeth, curving like the ribs of the dead whale. Without moving its lips, it whispers a message. ‘It’s you.”
