This one was FUN. Let the apple make you better (re: bitter) or not. ultimately the choice of how sweet you are lies in you.

A fun quick read. Fracassi kills in this 2-steppin’ honky tonk version of a Danse Macabre. Fracassi reminds the reader that in the eyes of death we’re all equal in only the way Fracassi can.

Wow. Just wow. This collection from Sam Rebeline blew me away. Sam is an incredible voice in horror and knows how to draw you in with the close to home and then swallow your reader soul whole by the end of each of these tales. Truly a modern day Lovecraft.

By the time you start to see the light, just know, you may already be too late. Sam asks in this collection if it's the stories we hold on to or the history around us that makes places like Renfield county haunted then he brings you along for a gory unhinged ride.

Holy hell. This book. I couldn’t stop listening Kylie did a FANTASTIC job. Every inch of this novel drips with a haunting. From Cora’s life experiences to the ultimate plot of the story. NO NOTES. SO GOOD.
