A tiny cult of two, a promise of angels and ascendance, and a calamitous consequence! I devoured CORRUPTED VESSELS by Briar Ripley Page (@flameswallower.bsky.social ) in one sitting! Check out my review here👉🏽 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I love the yearly transition from #BlackHistoryMonth to #WomensHistoryMonth ! As a Black woman, it just means the celebration continues. Time to celebrate some #WomenInHorror !!! Share some of your favorite women writing in thriller/horror fiction down in the comments! 🩸🔪♥️

“It is this world that makes monsters of us all.” This collection of speculative short stories by author Yvette Lisa Ndlovu ( @yvettel.bsky.social ) might be my favorite of the year so far (and it’s only February)! www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I feel like diving DEEP into folk horror/ folk fiction this year. I’m craving lore and pagan rituals, harvest festivals and oral histories, village cults and old gods. Basically I‘ve got a hankering for Wicker Man vibes!
How about you? What’s a sub-genre you feel like binge-reading this year?✨

Really feeling the January Blues lately. 💙

“Fern saw her far-off shadow on the long grass as she went by; she saw all their shadows, and they looked like giants, they looked like monsters, they looked like goddesses. They looked like witches.” #WitchcraftForWaywardGirls had me in a chokehold, y’all! 🔮✨

A bloody, wintery, vampiric tale of warning to those who wish for immortality. #YouCantTakeItWithYou by author @marcushawke.bsky.social is a reminder that sometimes dead really is better! Check this novella out before Winter’s end! 🧛🏻‍♂️❄️

A serial killer living amongst her fellow animal folk, small-town suspicions, blood, gore, and quite the body count! #BeneathTheTreesWhereNobodySees was easily 5/5 stars for me! This entire series can be found on Hoopla for those who are interested! 🧸🩸🔪

NEW YEAR, MORE BOOKS! What are some Reading Resolutions you’ve made this year? A few of mine are to (1) support my local bookstores (2) take advantage of my library card (3) continue reading books I already own, and (4) attempt to read 200 more books this year!!! (Yes…I’m insane for that last one)

Filling my remaining December days with more winter hauntings! Anyone else a fan of the Christmas ghost stories from the #BritishLibraryTalesOfTheWeird collection? ❄️🎄☃️

I don’t know about you, but I consider Susan Hill’s THE WOMAN IN BLACK (1983) to be required annual holiday reading! The perfect book to escape into on Christmas Eve if you enjoy eerie, Victorian gothic settings and angry, vengeful ghosts!✨

Two of my current December reads! Perfect for chilly nights at home with a cup of hot cocoa and a flickering candle! @valancourtbooks.bsky.social @swiftpress.bsky.social

Yes, I know it’s not Turkey Day yet. But I’ve officially entered #Creepmas mode! I’m craving dark winter reads and snow, please and thank you! 🎄✨💀

“Crota” by Owl Goingback! It’s a gritty, gory, Indigenous, paranormal crime thriller and I’m loving it so far! How about you?

For those who don’t know me, I collect vintage horror paperbacks ( #PaperbacksFromHell )! So I’m gracing everyone’s Bluesky feed with this newest edition to my collection! WHEN DARKNESS LOVES US by Elizabeth Engstrom is a “holy grail” find for me, so I’m ecstatic! ✨🖤
