Foul Black Rookeries (Modern Weird in Darkest Baltimore)
I was lucky enough to see David Simmons read, or rather perform, one of his short stories at VoidCon 2024 and was instantly impressed by his delivery and enthusiasm, but don’t let that grill fool you because underneath the shimmer is a twisted energy that will change your perception of reading entirely. While talking […]

Where Dreams are En2mbed: Abstraction (Martyr as Art Horror)
To begin, this book is actually a sequel. I went into it knowing this, but was told that it reads equally well as a standalone. It most definitely lived up to that!! I really enjoy authors who try to have series that can be standalones, as usually if a reader likes one or two […]

Banshee Graveyard (Gory Ghost Horror)
When brothers Foy and Grant, and Foy’s fiancé Cyndi, set off on a road trip to visit family, they choose to make a detour. That was the biggest mistake of their lives. Stopping at a well known haunted graveyard, and a farm, which has past all of its own, something lies in wait for […]

Magick (NSFW Magic Demon Brothel Horror)
Anyone who’s read my reviews knows how highly I rate Judith Sonnet. Not only an amazing person, but an absolute prolific writer who sends out banger after banger into the universe. Magick was written in 10 days, and to me that just tells you how amazing a writer must be when 10 days worth […]

Maggie’s Grave (Paranormal Witch Horror)
David Sodergren has once again blessed my Kindle with a brilliant folk horror tale. I loved The Haar, but I absolutely adored Maggie’s Grave. In the nearly deserted town Auchenmullan, with just 47 residents remaining, a dark tale lays dormant. Towards the top of a mountain, a singular grave lies. “MAGGIE WALL BURIED HERE […]

Dead Inside (Iconoclastic Horrotica)
This read is one I often see people who are just dipping their toe into extreme horror tend to pick up. I think the slower pace helps them to get into the groove, let’s them understand the kind of thing they may see, and that dead people fucking and baby eating is the tip […]

Ensuring Your Place in Hell 2 (It Just Gets Worse Extreme Splatter Horror)
Oh Jesus Christ. Just oh God. I called to the Lord so many times reading this and I’m not even religious. I managed to give some summaries of the first collection, talking about which was the best (can you really used best when it’s violently gross?) but this time…I just can’t. If you have any […]

Spaghetti (Hideous Werewolf Cannibal Literature)
When the lives of six people combine in the most random and fleeting ways, all separately and short, one huge issue brings them together. By together I mean in the loosest of senses. After meeting each other the first time none of them ever really meet again. But the curse of the werewolf leaves […]

The Haar (Sentimental Amorphous Beast Horror)
I’ve been trying to get more into horror with a bit more feeling behind it. Whilst I enjoy the relentless gore that many of the books I read offer, sometimes they lack any sort of real story or emotion, other than just people’s guts being forcibly ripped out. The Haar is a story about […]

Mouth (Living Hole in the Ground Horror)
Did I ever think I’d read a monster story, about a hole in the ground, with layers of teeth that had different purposes, a mind of its own, and could communicate with his people by rumbling the ground? If you’d have asked me before I read this, the answer would’ve been most definitely not. […]
