I was so moved and disgusted by Little Heaven that I emailed Nick Cutter aka Craig Davidson late one night. I wanted to share my thanks for reigniting my love of reading this year….. and my absolute dream of this book on screen some day. Did I think he‘d read it, let alone respond? Absolutely not, but I am so delighted this lit up my inbox this morning!! WHOLLY recommend this claustrophobic read if you need a good spook for your TBR.
so-soI think I know what happened here, but it is definitely a book that ends and you go what?!
I was intrigued and I kept listening to this on audiobook, but I can‘t say I necessarily liked it. Should I check out the movie? 3⭐️

“Fast Car“ by Tracy Chapman
“The One I Love“ by REM
“Hallelujah“ by Leonard Cohen
“Stop Draggin' My Heart Around“ by Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty
“Push It“ by Salt-N-Pepa
Listen, math isn't my strong suit.
Also, I was reminded recently (by Rob Harvilla) that “Push It“ had a choreographed dance routine that went with it. I found a tutorial and my mind is BLOWN. In the words of S&P, “Let's Talk About“...a recovered memory!
“A detective investigating a grisly crime in rural Alaska finds herself caught up in the dark secrets and superstitions of a small town in this riveting novel from the acclaimed author of The Chalk Man.”
pickGrowing up, I remember going to our local movie rental place and seeing the cover of the Pet Sematary movie. It scared me.
Scary isn't the word I would use for the novel. It was horrifying, but not because of blood and gore and violence - though there is also that. What I found the most horrifying is the way it made me think of death, loss, and what makes us human.
BTW, Michael C Hall should narrate all creepy books. Perfect choice.
pickTHIS WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. not only was it a GREAT horror read, it followed an autistic trans lead character, was all about trans and womens rights and just had me engaged every step of the way. The plot twists weren‘t incredibly surprising but they were satisfying. I ripped through this one!!!!
Saw this in a Book Riot newsletter & had to share! You can read epistolary novel Dracula by Bram Stocker in real time! Starts May 3. And it‘s free! Details here: https://draculadaily.substack.com/p/dracula-daily-starts-in-two-weeks-24c?utm_ca...
pickBourdain‘s graphic novel collaborator, Joel Rose, finished this two years after Tony‘s death. The artwork in this exploration of Japanese food-related horror tales was excellent, but the copy felt unfinished. I plan to try his other graphic novels on #hoopla that were finished before his death. This one is available there, too, but I took advantage of my library‘s hard copy. Between a pick and a so-so.
I'm taking a break from listening to Don Quixote during my commute.. and I started listening to Jaws! 🦈
Thoroughly enjoying it, though I have to remind myself this was written in the 70's because his references to costs and what seemed expensive back then.... man, I WISH. Imagine making 8k a YEAR and still being able to afford a house and support a stay at home mom/wife and child. Yeah... right. Not in this economy!!
