I recently read Hell Shall Make You Fear Again by Jack Finn. I really enjoyed it! Everyone knows that I love short stories and this book did not disappoint! The stories are a mix of nature, history, mythology, monsters, and the old ways—all of my favorite things. 

I love when an author surprises me. And that’s exactly what Brian Asman did with Our Black Hearts Beat as One. I’ve read some of his work, mostly horror and horror comedy. This was a different side of Brian Asman.

Haunted is a different kind of book. It’s dark, twisted, weird, disgusting, and graphic. Don’t read this if you don’t like descriptions of graphic violence and weird, sexual scenes…

Little Black Crimes is the debut novel by author Nathaniel Blackhelm. It’s a collection of dark, gritty, and disturbing crime stories. Don’t read this before bed, especially if you live alone. You’ll never get to sleep! This book will fuck with your mind, and make you question what goes on in everyone’s mind – maybe even your own!   It’s … Read more

I just finished plowing through This One’s Gonna Hurt, the second novel by Cody J. Thompson. (Check out our review of his debut novel, Bone Saw Serenade, if you haven’t already)  His first novel was a psychological thriller, This One’s Gonna Hurt is straight up no joke-slasher heaven!

Bone Saw Serenade is a psychological thriller that takes place in Seattle. Two old friends from high school, Charlie and Emma, reunite after many years. Then one day Emma’s husband Eddie disappears.

Forget ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, Hark! The Herald Angels Scream is more my style. If you’re looking for a little blood guts and gore with your eggnog, then you must give this collection of short stories a try! 

Brian Asman knows how to blend violence and gore with a bunch of laughs. In The Return of the Living Elves. Asman blends The Return of the Living Dead with Christmas. It’s the crossover story I never knew I needed…

Classic Horror Tales is filled with some of the greatest Gothic short horror stories you will ever read.  It has stories from the masters like Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker, and H.P. Lovecraft.

When I saw Horrorstör I instantly wanted to read it. My first thought was ”Haunted Ikea?…yes please”. Think about being stuck there overnight. This entire story takes place overnight – but it’s not as fun as you would think…

Now that the weather is finally cooler, it’s time to plan my spooky reading in between horror movies. So just in case, you’re doing the same thing, I wanted to give you a few suggestions:

You all know Clive Barker, but did you know that he wrote short stories? You’ve probably seen Hellraiser (all of them) and some of you may have even read the books. But sometimes you just need a little quick bedtime story. These really hit the scary spot…

Rosemary’s Baby is going to mess with your head, freak you out, scare you, and keep you up at night. An absolutely amazing piece of psychological horror! The book or the movie, it doesn’t matter. They’re both amazing…

Mummies, curses, rituals, and the gods.  The mysteries and mythology of Ancient Egypt were practically made for a horror story…

If you could bring someone you loved back from the dead, would you? And if they came back wrong?  Evil?  Is dead really better?…

Have you ever heard of The Dragon Lady?  No?? I’m surprised. She was one hell of a serial killer.  She killed her first five victims when she was 11. By the time she was done, she had murdered more than 20 victims, 11 of them were babies….

Hmmmm….which books are the scariest?  I know this is debatable. Though I do love a good debate.  I mean, I know which books have scared me, but I wondered what scared other people.
