    Maggie’s Grave by David Sodergren | Review

    January 13, 2021 /

    If you haven’t added Maggie’s Grave to you TBR, then why the hell not?  This is in my opinion the best example of a witchy folk tale horror out there.  It brings it all to the table, Sodergren slaps it all down, liquified organs and all.  The first couple of chapters are usually enough to decide whether a book is going to be for you…the author nailed it in one.  I had a keen sense of foreboding, that small time village feel, residents knowing everything about you, talking about you, judging you.  Sodergren nails it.  The shades of darkness is quite literally written on the wall.  “Was this parenthood?  Love…

    The Malan Witch by Catherine Cavendish | Review

    January 9, 2021 /

    The Malan Witch reminded me that I don’t read enough witchy stories.  This story had the eerie creepiness that made you realise that witches aren’t so ugly old hag with warts on her face, a long misshapen nose, and a pointy hat.   It was easy to imagine sitting around a campfire having this story read, it was cosy and mildly unsettling.  The Malan Witch has central themes of grief and loneliness being at the epicentre.  Robyn has lost the love of her life in the most traumatic of consequences.  Her husband died of cancer.  She had to endure watching him be fit and healthy and robust what seemed like one…

    Shadows Of The Woods by Duncan Thompson | Blog Tour

    July 23, 2020 /

    Shadows Of The Woods is like a bullet to the jugular!  Holy crap this book was good!  The title gives us insight into two sides of the same coin.  A shadow instantly made me think of the claustrophobia, the darkness creeping in ready to take us.  One misstep, the sound of twigs being snapped underfoot…was it someone out there or our active imagination?  My gut feeling whilst starting this book was that shit was going to hit the fan fairly quickly…boy was I right?!  The opening was both sweet and utterly destructive.  A marriage proposal whilst out camping with the backdrop of fireworks, dead romantic, right?  Well, in any other…
