The Path of Thorns by A.G. Slatter

I did not know what I expected when I started this, but at every turn, my assumptions up until that point were challenged. There are at least three books I have read in recent times which was similar to one part of the story, which is why I assumed I knew the direction of the…

Hangdog Souls by Marc Joan

Book is available to request on NetGalley until the end of this month I wanted to read this book because of the setting. I am usually not a horror-themed reader, but given that the stories were placed in Southern India (where I come from, not the exact state- but close enough), my curiosity was aroused.…

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

I have heard a lot about this book on the blogosphere over the past few years. It has popped on and off my radar. I have read a few Sandman graphic novels, among certain other ones and know what the author usually sounds like. Despite that fact, I was a little surprised by the content…

The Room in the Attic by Louis Douglas

I have read one other book by this author and reviewed it: here Psychological/horror drama is not that high on my to-read list, but this author's previous work (that I read) was quite satisfying. This is what had me interested in picking this up in the first place.It is hard not to compare, and I…

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

I saw this book all over the place when it first came out. It was buzzing for all the reasons, both right and wrong. I saw enough opposing reviews to be intrigued. When I saw it on my library shelf, I marvelled at the size of the book. It was so thin that I picked…

The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell

I am trying to review as many of my non advance reviewer copy books that I have read in the year before the end of the month/year. The book was very popular on the blogosphere when it was released. The Author has since developed quite a loyal fan base, and I was curious about the…

Come Back to the Swamp by Laura Morrison

This is a short piece of fiction that packs a punch. It has an ominous atmosphere and conveys a lot of background information to complete the tale, but for me, I did not feel that sense of completion, although I should have.We have our lead protagonist trying to save a swamp from invasive species when…

The Neil Gaiman Library Volume 3 (Neil Gaiman Library #3)

I read a few volumes of The Sandman by the author a long time ago. When I saw an advance copy of this, I thought I could give this a shot as well. I requested in on Edelweiss+, and that has not impacted my review in any manner. The drawings and the stories themselves pack…
