Welcome to Litsy!

Just a little light reading before church. . .

I wake up.
But wake up isn‘t quite right. That implies sleeping. A bed. A pillow.
I come to.

Went out of town with my Grandmother-in-law, which started and ended our journey in my hometown of Tallahassee (she lives there still). Whenever I‘m in town I love stopping my Midtown Reader, the cutest little indie bookstore! They had signed copies of this book so I knew I couldn‘t leave without visiting. Love the little picture and note!

Book 4 of 2023! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An interesting read, four novellas about women facing threats to their lives. Some are disturbing and unsettling. It's the first time I read a book by JCO, I tried a few but couldn't get into them.

Only Grady Hendrix can make me scared of freaking Olaf... After listening to his evil doll horror (tagged), I was extremely unsettled in the middle of the night when, while up with baby, I looked over and saw in my mirror through to the nursery across the hall, where Olaf sat dead centre 😳 He must have gotten moved there while my husband was putting away laundry... but yikes! 🤣

Very reminiscent of the world of the Dark Tower, I enjoyed this! Always a sucker for a story involving a dog!

On no!

January Reviews

This is the third book in The Monstrumologist series. I love this series and I hope that in 5 or 6 years my nephew is interested in horror so I can gift him these books and the same for my niece in 10 years or so. 🤞🏻
I don‘t think I mentioned it in my review of the second book, but Steven Boyer‘s narration is excellent. #Booked2023 #aboutamonster

Just a tiny bit sad to move on to the last book. #SeriesLove2023

After finding weird fiction through authors like HP Lovecraft, I became interested in forerunners to the genre. Well, my first sampling of earlier authors was in William Hope Hodgson with his best known work, The House on the Borderland. Not sure of other's experience completely but I was really drawn in by the dark, surreal, dream like visuals more than dramatic narrative. But that satisfied me enough. Next by this author will be The Night Land.
