I know they're the embodiment of Evil but if you have Amaz*n Prime/Audible, they have an exclusive free collection of really good horror stories by some talented authors: Paul Tremblay, Joe Hill, Grady Hendrix, Josh Malerman, Chandler Baker, & Jason Mott. I've read 4 out of 6 so far & they kick ass. It's called the Creature Feature Collection.
HAPPY FRIDAY! Today I have a Drs appt and then I'm rewarding myself with a trip to Michael's!! More cheap Halloween decor that I don't need will be forthcoming!
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
🎃 No matter what flavor of #Halloween you prefer, OCTOBER SCREAMS has a story to delight. These tales are fearsome, frightful, funny, &/or foreboding. Kenneth W. Cain has done a masterful job compiling them: it's the PERFECT read to get you prepared & excited for Spooky Season! (Kangas Khan)
Do you feel spooky season coming upon you? Let this so-called ‘carpe diem’ mosaic send shivers down your spine! Certainly the jugs suggests some celebration to come 🏺🏺
This morning, I watched "His House" and I was immediately captivated by it. What a great movie! It's definitely my favorite of the season so far. It's got it all: a great and meaningful story, a freaky monster, charming characters, and excellent effects. This should be on every horror fan's radar!
I forgot to mention that I finished "The Only Good Indians" a few days ago. My official review is:
Great story 👍
Awesome monster 👍
The only bad thing I can say is that the last act lost me a little bit - without spoiling anything, I think it started off kind of silly. Otherwise, the rest of the book was genuinely terrifying. A great book that is definitely worth the read!
Interesting story 👍
Not enough monster screentime (unless you count Johnny Depp) 👎
Still, I liked it okay. I watched it when I was younger and didn't like it at all (see my point about monster screentime). But this time I was able to see all of the German expressionist influence and was able to appreciate it. The visual design for this one is beautiful!
I forgot to mention that I had some stuff to do today, so I turned on "Scream Queens" to play in the background. I didn't give it all of my attention but it still got some good laughs out of me. Not bad for a show I'd never heard of before!
Can you feel the ethereal veil thinning? "Llewellyn's Little Book of Halloween" by Mickie Mueller might be just the thing to get you through hocus pocus season – and survive pumpkin spiced everything.
It is certainly a very fun read, perfect for fans of Wednesday or Sabrina The Teenage Witch. It is deliciously dark and I enjoyed how the themes of friendship and belonging are explored in the story.
