I talk horror books; extreme horror, classic, slasher, gothic, and everything in between. Helping you find the next best horror book to read is the goal, and sharing new and old horror from my shelves and new releases is how! Horror, nonfiction and even true crime can be found here as I find that human beings are the scariest thing of all.

✮ Thank you! ✮

I made it to the October edition of the local library sale, and it did not disappoint. I'd been looking to buy a new copy of Hater by David Moody for some time, so was really pleased to find it, and then some!

It had been a while since I streamed - however - I do play nearly every Saturday morning so I figured I'd grab the headset and chill.

This October I have a short reading list - and it is made of fun-size little treats. Maybe there will be a trick too, as I may read more than expected. Witches, goblins, sprites and ghouls rise up in my little reading list; dare I say, the perfect reading list for Halloween season.

There are 35 books on my to-watch list for October. That is more than one a day and doesn't even count all the HWA releases this month, the great books that are young adult or thriller, or some niche gothics that I couldn't classify as horror entirely.

Edward Lee has been a huge inspiration to me as a writer and reader of horror. From the first time my mother and I stumbled upon the City Infernal series, or that time I special ordered 'Goon' while feeling homesick at college...

This is the second annual DreadCon; and I am happy to support this since there is nothing like it near me. I wish there were more horror conventions in Canada!

For all of August I read Stephen King books - this was for #allinaugust and I loved it! In this video I will talk about how I liked it, how that affected my reading going forward, and how I felt about that as a writer.
