I just finished Summer of the Monsters by David Sodergren and gave it a 4.5. I love his work, but lort jeebus his endings are intense and never go the way you hope. #booksky

Here's a question for readers, authors, and publishers: Are book review sites and blogs still viewed as valuable resources, or have social media sites like IG and TikTok replaced them? If I'm a book reviewer, is it worth my time and money to set up a book blog? #booksky

Thought this was just slasher splatterpunk—but Janitor by Oscar Brady surprised me. A clever blend of 80s horror vibes, true crime, and movie obsession. Rough audio at times, but I’d still listen again. Oscar Brady nailed the schlocky nostalgia. #horroraudiobook #splatterpunk 🩸📚

I went into Genital Rot mostly blind. I knew it involved a death metal band and... that’s about it. What I got was a chaotic, blood-soaked descent into depravity that makes The Evil Dead look like School of Rock. #extremehorror 🩸📚 #booksky
