So I have a problem.
I may have an addiction to reading HORROR Books.
But Ive found a solution that helps me to justify my daily indulgences by reviewing and blogging about them.

Things I’ve learned while reading Kylie Lee Baker’s ‘Bat Eater and Other Names For Cora Zeng’ is that Chinese Ghosts are way scarier than white people ghosts. Also do not eat food meant to be served to hungry ghosts.
Thank you MIRA for my arc copy.

I loved @rachelyoder.bsky.social’s Nightbitch. It is by far one of my favourite feminist domestic horror novels. Just finished watching @marielleheller.bsky.social film adaptation which was very good, Amy Adams was amazing and the body horror was so uncomfortable.

Someone was asking me about various ancient Greek mythological narratives and the Greek Gods, when I came to the most shocking realization. Personality wise, they are like the divine embodiment of the cast of Jersey Shore mixed with a few of the Real Housewives from various Bravo series.

@natcassidy.bsky.social well writing ‘ When The Wolf Comes Home’ inspired by the X-Files crossover episode with Cops called ‘X-Cops’ with the werewolf? Because that’s all I could think of while reading the initial incident at Jessa’s apartment building, the media coverage and police+ FBI responses

How do you all feel about setting aside books you don’t love? I used to feel really guilty if I was ever given a book as a gift or sent an arc to review that I didn’t like because it either:
A) just wasn’t a genre or topic that interested me
Or
B) I hated the writing/ boring

Listening to @jeremydauber.bsky.social audible version of ‘American Scary: A history of horror from Salem to Stephen King and beyond’ well doing chores today and I’m kind of sad I only have two hours left. Does anyone know of another good film or literature horror theory nonfiction audiobook?

So I’m teaching myself how to paint…without books or YouTube.
Today, I had a massive breakthrough -decided to apply my years of practical experience in the art of make application. Where I mastered in the fine art of contouring and sharp as knives cat eyes.
This is the same painting one day apart

I found a huge problem with audiobooks. The content and writing can be absolutely amazing but entirely ruined by the narrator. To the point where I don’t even want to listen.
Up until this point I’ve only experienced the opposite, where the narrator makes the horrible book worth listening too.
