You Watched In Silence – A Vlogoshpere Thriller

You Watched in Silence by H. Lee Justine is a creepy psychological thriller that digs into the rot beneath influencer culture. The story follows Caitlyn, a young woman hired as a live-in nanny for a pair of cancelled family vloggers.

Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match – The Implication

by Mikie | posted in: Book Reviews, Reviews | 0

Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match by Sally Thorne is funny, absurd, and deeply weird; in both good and bad ways. It’s kind of a monster-fucking book, but also… not quite.

Spooktober: The Only Good Indians – Guilt, Revenge, and Legacy in an Indigenous Horror

by Mikie | posted in: Book Reviews, Reviews | 0

It’s a little late, but my last Spooktober book read was The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones. Not gonna lie, I’m a little torn on this book. It’s decently scary, has gory scenes, and the big monster is GREAT. What

Bochica – When Your Generational Trauma is a Demon

by Mikie | posted in: Book Reviews, Reviews | 0

Bochica by Carolina Florez-Cerchiaro is as much a story about grief and loss as it is about a haunted mansion and the demons within it. At its heart, it’s a story about fighting a demon and the cult that summoned it, yes, but it’s also about letting go and overcoming trauma.

Ebony Gate: The Phoenix Hoard – Is it Actually A Cactus?

by Mikie | posted in: Book Reviews, Reviews | 0

Ebony Gate: The Phoenix Hoard is a book full of compelling hooks that drew me in quickly. The idea of families hosting different kinds of magic is always fascinating, and Emiko’s place in that world, being seemingly depowered, was what initially grabbed my attention.
