Play Nice — Book Review
Play Nice is such a dynamic haunted house story and I couldn’t put it down. I loved the delicious braid of family horror, supernatural danger, and Clio’s character growth in the face of danger and disapproval (maybe even scarier than demons).
The Return — Book Review
The Return is a slow burn that sinks deep in your mind, wiggling in, the suspense mounting to a deliciously chaotic, and heart-breaking, conclusion.
The Mean Ones — Novel Review
I absolutely loved this novel. My favourite book this year. I ended up reading it all in one sitting, I could not put it down and now I am left with the sad ennui of wanting that high again so I got a second hand copy of Tatiana’s Such Lovely Skin.
The Cellar Below The Cellar: Book Review
Written like a vintage, delicate, and beautiful fairy tale, THE CELLAR BELOW THE CELLAR by Ivy Grimes is comforting and hopeful, even in its darkness.

Withered Hill: Novel Review
I loved the folk horror elements and the use of dual timelines, I loved how the mystery slowly unfurly in trickles and drops, I loved the strangeness of Withered Hill, and I loved the brutality of the ending.
Something in the Walls: Novel Review
Something in the Walls was a fun, wild ride. From the twists and turns, the superstitions and madness a group of people can be consumed by, this novel did not let go.
Lure: Novella Review
The plot pulls at you like a riptide, you’re swept away, choking on the salt, as you watch the villagers suffer the curse of the sea.
I Believe in Mister Bones: Novel Review
Besides being a book about an urban legend about a monster named Mister Bones, the book also offers a pretty candid view on the horror indie scene. It was refreshing and fun honestly.
Crushing Snails: Novel Review
The end was a slowly tightening noose, a part of me wished Winnie would fight against it, the majority of me accepted this slow sinking into darkness along with her.
Dead Space: Novel Review
Wallace is the queen of misdirection. This is my favourite read this year, by far! I would 100% recommend it, whether you’re a space horror fan or not.
