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 …

Last year, I reviewed Dead Jack And The Pandemonium Device, the debut novel from writer James Aquilone (you can read my review here). Ever since, I’ve been anxiously awaiting the sequel. The time has finally come. Dead Jack And The Soul Catcher was released this week. Did it measure up …

Most books about Mars end up being about alien life. Peter Cawdron’s Retrograde does not go this route. The Mars colonists are made aware that there was an epic nuclear strike on major cities back on Earth. This news ends up driving a wedge between the different mods who argue …

In my free time, you can find me perusing the shelves of local movie or book stores. On a recent trip, I struck out on my movie hunt, but I began to wonder if there were any books that would spark my interest. I had just finished The Drawing of …

Reading Stephen King’s The Dark Tower: The Drawing of the Three is an arduous task, to say the least. In this, the second entry in The Dark Tower series (read my review of the first book here), we follow the last Gunslinger, Roland of Gilead, down a desolate and dangerous beach …
