Review: Lone Women by Victor LaValle

Posted on May 24, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

I’ll be honest; I had no idea what to expect when I entered Lone Women. I don’t read as much historical fiction as I should and certainly don’t read many Westerns. But the promise of something paranormal happening in this setting? Well, that was more than enough to tempt me into reading it… Continue reading →

Review: The Scourge Between Stars by Ness Brown

Posted on May 8, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Holy cow. They were NOT kidding when they called The Scourge Between Stars a claustrophobic horror novella. It’s dark, gritty, and very much not afraid to show us how vulnerable human beings are. Continue reading →

Review: Desert Creatures by Kay Chronister

Posted on May 3, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Huh. I’m not going to lie; I don’t entirely know what to make of Desert Creatures. I was initially drawn due to the promise of feminist fiction meets Western horror, and I certainly got what was billed. I’m just not sure how it made me feel. Continue reading →

Review: A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher

Posted on May 1, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Man, does T. Kingfisher know how to create the perfect setting for a horror story. You’d think something as banal as a home in a small neighborhood wouldn’t be so creepy. But when it’s done right… I’m trying to say that A House with Good Bones is a must-read for all paranormal and horror fans. Continue reading →

Review: Piñata by Leopoldo Gout

Posted on April 18, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Yikes! Piñata is one heck of a read, guys. It’s dark and thrilling yet painfully grounded in history. Leopoldo Gout did a brilliant job of tying supernatural horror with the horror that stems from humanity, weaving the two together until you cannot tell where one begins and the other ends.

Review: Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt

Posted on December 29, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

There are a lot of reasons why I really wanted to read Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. First, the cover reminded me of Wool, a book (well, series) I’ve been thinking a lot about lately. For another, the opening scene reminded me of a popular graphic novel/television series. Continue reading →
