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.
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.
Frost Bite: Novel Review
I could picture this book perfectly in my mind as a neon-coloured, bubblegum-flavoured, skin-bitingly chilly movie that never let go.
Posthaste Manor: Novel Review
Posthaste Manor was a wild, beautifully bizarre book. It was like touring the house myself, with a dark and mysterious guide, learning its secrets and shivering.
Edenville: Novel Review
With deliciously balanced parts of horror and humour, I couldn’t put it down and loved drowning in the vibrant lore Rebelein built around Edenville and its inhabitants.
