Welcome to Litsy!

This is an enjoyable story about a small German Village at the end of WWII, that is being protected by a group of werewolves. As they become more corrupted by the wolf within, their actions become increasingly more vicious to the other locals. This was a nice, fast read by an author that I like.

We witness Andrew‘s descent into madness. This book is pretty disgusting. The cottage he is staying in is a breeding ground for fungus. He lives there even though fungus is growing on the walls and everything is damp. That really makes me squirm. Andrew is not a likable character. Really no one in the book is. Not my favorite book.

This was a good horror story. It has an interesting storyline that leads you along and eventually twists into something else entirely. I definitely want to check out more books by Charles Grant.

Funny horror is my jam, so this was a big fiction hit in a month full of mediocre books! Hogarth still manages to make great insights about mother/child relationships, too.

Ralph and Abby were a happy couple until they moved in with his codependent mother. Since she committed suicide, Ralph has been seeing her alive, and she‘s been haunting Abby, too. Abby has to think way outside the box to snap Ralph out of it and start their family.

This is the last book I need to complete my #PopSugar challenge, a book that was published the year I was born.

Enjoy!

My local library on Libby recently acquired some of the horror novels re-released in the Paperbacks from Hell series.

Nightblood is a campy vampire story set in a rural town full of secrets and small mindedness. The main character, led by the ghost of his brother, hunts down the undead.

This book had everything I love in an old-school horror read. It was fast-paced, entertaining, and had a few good jump scare scenes.

I can't believe the end is all ready here, I had so much fun!!! Here's my final points, with the family dog, Spooky Coraline! Thank you everyone who helped with this years #Scarathlon23

Well, this was certainly the right time of year for this book-dark and disturbing doesn‘t begin to cover it. Hogarth looks at mothering from different directions, but the focus is on how much damage a bad mother can do, and how that reverberates. There was some humor, but again, very dark. Trigger warnings a-plenty - its not for everyone.
That said, I‘ll be thinking about this one for a while. I‘ll NEVER get that jellied salmon out of my head.
