These Ghosts Bleed by Christy Aldridge

5.0

You need to drop everything and get your hands on THESE GHOSTS BLEED by Christy Aldridge because this book, this dark, vile, psychological mess of a book is fantastic!

This book is about Allen Gordon and his doting wife Anna. Anna loves Allen. Anna would do anything to make Allen happy. But Anna’s love is never satisfactory enough for her despicable husband. So Anna decides she no longer wants to live. After her death, Allen discovers his wife wrote books, really good books. So he decides to publish his wife’s writing under his name and steal credit in a personal act of vengeance for her keeping secrets and leaving him behind. But Anna won’t take this disrespect lying down, not anymore, not in death.

This book is the epitome of “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” and I loved it. As a reader of horror, there’s nothing like the gratifying catharsis that comes with a ghost’s vengeance. Prepare for violence, paranoia, a loathsome antagonist, and a fearsome woman from beyond the grave.
