A beautiful introduction to horror for young readers. Neil Gaiman weaves a haunting story with beautifully disturbing imagery, while also creating a novel easy enough for young readers to grasp. A truly spooky and fantastic tale that readers of any age can enjoy.
Brahms' 1897 horror classic never fails to captivate readers, bringing about our modern day obsession with vampires. The classic tale of a group of people led by professor Abraham VanHelsing battling against the forces of evil as Dracula leaves Translvania and attempts to spread the undead curse on England's shores. A necessity for all fans of horror and classic gothic literature.
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This next installment of the Gravekeeper Series hasn't even come out yet, and yet I’m already itching to read the next part of Kira's story. This series is the most unexpectedly delightful combination of spooky, action packed, and heartwarming slice of life all wrapped up in a mystery. I find myself falling in love with all of the characters, from the kindly pastor Adage, to the cheery “not a doctor” Mason. However I adore most of all our main character and amnesia ridden ghost whisperer Kira. I adore this series and cannot wait for the next one!

The desert holds terrible secrets, and though Rob would rather leave them buried, her daughter Callie leaves her no other choice but to dig into the past.
As a huge fan of "The Last House On Needless Street" I was not disappointed by Wards newest book. This kept me clenching my teeth and furiously turning pages. Nobody does stress and anxiety like Catriona Ward, and I mean that in the best way.
