Gage Greenwood has been a favorite author of mine since his first book, Winter’s Myths, was released. I knew immediately that I was seeing the beginnings of greatness. He hasn’t become a household name just yet, but his latest book, On a Clear Day You Can See Block Island, may …

Cynthia Pelayo is Bram Stoker Award winning author who has been on my TBR list for, I shamefully admit, awhile. She is a Chicago native and most of her stories are set in Chicago. I am from the Chicago area, so I absolutely love to check out local authors. When …

Megan Stockton has been an auto-buy author for me since I read my first book from her. She is a gifted storyteller with a knack for creating realistic and relatable characters. Her newest book, Lovely, Dark and Deep is nothing short of exceptional. It is a chilling and atmospheric horror …
