#SpringSentiments @Eggs

When a small Alabama town becomes #inundated after Spring rains, something evil washes into the town with the flood waters.

I just recently finished this Southern gothic series and really enjoyed it.

Eggs Sounds like an exciting series 👏🏻📚👍🏼 3y

We live in central Arkansas and are preparing for some of the possible worst flooding this area has ever seen. I‘m shocked by the number of people who are doing nothing to prepare.

Djspens Good luck😥 I hope it doesn't get that high! 5y
WorldsOkayestStepMom Good luck!! I hope nothing happens, but it's great that you're prepared if it does. 5y
Librariana Hope you and your family will be safe and out of harm's way ✌💜🍀 5y

I really enjoyed the first installment to this old school gothic horror series. The writing felt similar to Shirley Jackson stories. The setting of southern Alabama was immersive, descriptive, and accurate to the time period. This isn't really scary, but more of the goosebump inducing, mess with your head type horror that you don't see coming. There is a mother-son relationship that is almost as creepy as the Bates family. Next one please 👍

I'd never heard about this series until reading Paperbacks from Hell recently. I've been lucky enough to come across the first two in used bookstores. I figured this was the perfect time to read the first one so I can travel to Alabama and mark it off my #ReadingUSA2019 list.

Creepy backwoods family? Strange unheard of terrors? Freak accident leaving a lone survivor? Sounds like a perfect Saturday night to me.

Librarybelle Sounds like good Saturday night reading! 5y

One of my #readinggoals for this year is to explore the wonderful world of pulpy paperbacks as seen in Paperbacks From Hell by Grady Hendrix. If you‘re like me and you love southern gothics with a touch of magical realism then this book fills the bill. Over written in places but also has haunting descriptions. This plot was mostly set up with a cliffhanger ending so I am eager to track the rest of the series down for some full on pulp weirdness.

Even after every ruined thing had been carted away and burned and the broken branches and rotting carcasses of dead animals had been washed out of the yards ... Perdido would start up the stairs at night and pause with it‘s hand on the banister, and beneath the jasmine and the roses on the front porch, beneath the leftover pungency of supper from the kitchen, and beneath the starch in it‘s own cellar - Perdido would smell the flood.

This is the face of someone who hasn't been able to read for the past few days due to THE BOTTOM FLOOR OF THE HOUSE FLOODING. Now I have no place to sleep at my aunts house (who I work for) so I have been staying at grandmas. Early mornings and late nights of cleaning up the damage, taking care of kids, and doing schoolwork has exhausted me. I haven't even been able to be on Litsy 😱💀 Fingers crossed for a quiet, calm weekend of reading!

CocoReads Oh no! Good luck and I hope your reading life gets back on track soon. Plus flood damage is so hard to clean up. 7y

I know this post isn't about reading or books but this community is so positive and I could really use some positivity and good vibes right now. The river finally crest yesterday so the water shouldn't get any higher and thankfully it didn't go in the house even though it got a lot closer than we thought it would but it's in the shop and it's going to need a lot of work. I know a lot of places need good vibes right now. #hurricanematthewwasadick

Guys, the water is getting high, fast. And they are saying the power will be out for weeks so we are going to have to move out. On the bright side, I might catch up on my TBR pile!
