I think it’s safe to say that a majority of people in this day in age have at least heard of the name Slenderman. According to Wikipedia, he was created as a CreepyPasta internet meme created by Eric Knudsen (also known as Victor Surge) in 2009 on a website called …

When I first read the synopsis for Kayla Cottingham’s My Dearest Darkest, I wasn’t sure if I would like it as I hadn’t ready anything quite like this in sometime. However, I’m glad I gave it a shot because it only took a few pages before I was completely invested …

The last 7 months or so have been a battle with my mental health and I haven’t found much joy in reading until I dove into Stephanie Wrobel’s web-of-secrets, dark thriller, This Might Hurt. Although not perfect, it definitely helped me get out of my own head and step foot …

USA Today’s bestselling author, Darcy Coates, seamlessly combines the intense creepiness of a classic ghost story with a deadly mystery.

This is …

After watching season 1 of True Blood when it hit DVD, I searched out Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Mysteries series (AKA The Sookie Stackhouse series). I was hooked pretty quickly but eventually got burned out on the series and stopped reading (although I plan to pick it up again someday). …

(Note: I was provided with a free copy Starr Creek in exchange for an honest review.) If someone had told me Nathan Carson’s Starr Creek contained goat fucking, I’d have read it sooner. Alas, I had to wait to read it to discover this juicy bit of goodness. But enough about …

Some people may not be aware of the groundbreaking work of author Donald E. Westlake aka Richard Stark. I suspect many Stephen King fans will recognize that name from The Dark Half novel, as well as George A. Romero’s 1993 film adaption. King pays homage to Stark in a literary salute …
