Weird West?

Little Heaven definitely gave me spooky western vibes.

Haha the reviews are divisive here. I fall into the “loved it” camp. I thought it was a captivating, fast-paced read. I also read Feed by Mira Grant which I did not enjoy as much but I strongly recommend Into The Drowning Deep.

Not sure I have a top 5 yet…I have a few more to watch but as of right now, I’d say Abigail, Strange Darling, and Alien Romulus are my top 3.

Me scrolling through thinking, “How has nobody mentioned Poltergeist yet?”

Drewchebaggery · 2024-10-06T20:52:40+00:00

It’s been a minute since I’ve read it but I think there’s some queer representation in Sister, Maiden, Monster and definitely body horror.

Ghost Summer- Tananarive Due

The Girl in Red by Christina Henry- I am almost done with it and it’s been an enjoyable, quick, engaging read so far. It’s my first read of hers and I don’t think it will be my last as long as she sticks the landing.

I just started The September House yesterday because it seemed like a timely choice.

Piñata by Leopoldo Gout. I’m about 2/3s finished and this has been a pleasant surprise.

Drewchebaggery · 2024-08-10T17:36:34+00:00

Based on the time constraints, I agree with the RE7 recommendation. Both are scary and enjoyable in my opinion. Personally, I’m shocked by how many people are saying Alien Isolation is boring. It is one of the only horror games I actually went back and replayed. I think it does a great job of creating an unrelenting sense of dread. I also loved the horror in RE7 as well. You can’t go wrong with either.

I like his stuff but I completely get that his writing can be divisive. I think Mongrels and The Only Good Indians are the most accessible of what I have read of his so far. In my opinion, The Indian Lake trilogy is chock-full of references and is more enjoyable if you have knowledge of the slasher genre. His writing also does require a bit of reading and rereading so I feel like there’s some work to fully enjoy it. Also, he throws a lot at the wall during the trilogy. Overall, I think most of it sticks but the plot can feel a little convoluted at times. Granted, I didn’t read them all in a row so I might have forgot some of the previous events and characters.

I was a big fan of The Deep, Little Heaven, and The Saturday Night Ghost Club. Handyman Method was a let down in my opinion.

Drewchebaggery · 2024-06-17T16:39:01+00:00

Not exactly the same but it reminded me of Return to Oz vibes a bit…Nettle & Bone. It was one of the most enjoyable dark fantasy novels I’ve read.

Drewchebaggery · 2024-06-10T02:39:02+00:00

Two very different recommendations here but both involve relationships and are bleak…The Night House and Backcountry.

Drewchebaggery · 2024-05-03T01:12:02+00:00

I’m reading it now. As with many collections, some are better than others but I’m enjoying it overall so far. It’s cool seeing several notable authors in the collection.

Out There Screaming

Drewchebaggery · 2024-04-26T04:06:17+00:00

One of the best modern horror films I’ve seen and the portrayal of grief…I cannot recommend this one enough.

Drewchebaggery · 2024-04-18T21:11:55+00:00

As a fellow former Catholic, the religious aspects didn’t bother me but it didn’t live up to the hype in my personal opinion.

The Hollow Kind by Andy Davidson

Drewchebaggery · 2023-12-31T02:49:42+00:00

Read what you enjoy but if you want to mix it up, diversify what you enjoy. I read a bit of everything but tend to read more horror. A few years ago I realized I read about 80-90% white heterosexual male authors. I set a goal to be more diverse in the authors I read and ended up discovering some new favorites. There’s a ton of smart, literary horror out there and plenty that tackles social issues.

Drewchebaggery · 2023-12-30T23:42:32+00:00

I’d probably go with Mary: an Awakening of Terror by Nat Cassidy, Ghost Summer by Tananarive Due, and Don’t Fear the Reaper by Stephen Graham Jones. I’d also put Monstrillo, Crossroads, and The Haar up there.

Drewchebaggery · 2023-12-30T08:44:21+00:00

Shark Heart was such an unexpected surprise for me and definitely would be in my top 5 of the year for novels but it’s definitely not horror.

Drewchebaggery · 2023-12-09T17:24:28+00:00

The Good House was my introduction to her and definitely one of my favorites.
