Author: Neil Gaiman Book: The Graveyard Book Genre: Supernatural/Horror/YA Julia Rating: 10 Comments: Neil Gaiman’s newest book – The Graveyard Book – is considered to be for children, but I beg to differ. The main character – who’s name is Nobody – grows up during the duration of the book, but I think that’s the [...]
Hey it’s Halloween! Yay! If I had thought about it, I would have made the “Happy Halloween” post the 100th and final one for Horror Month. But, I didn’t and now we’re on post 102. Oh well. So far, we’ve been through some great books, some awesome and groundbreaking authors. I wanted to take a [...]
Author: Laurell K. Hamilton Book: Strange Candy Genre: Horror/Fantasy/Sci Fi Julia Rating: 10 Comments: I really bit off more than I could chew here. When choosing books, I thought, “Hey, it’s a book of short stories – let’s shake things up”. I had never read Laurell Hamilton before and I didn’t know what a fantastic [...]
Author: Stephen King Book: Duma Key Genre: Horror Julia Rating: 10 Comments: As you can tell, I am a Stephen King fan. I believe that Duma Key is the most recent King novel and I loved it. It was a slow starter, but I think it was worth it. There is tons of foreshadowing in this [...]

Author:Mary Roach Book: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers Genre: NonFiction Julia Rating: 10 Comments: It’s a month of firsts! I rarely read nonfiction, and if I do it’s always about something I’m actually studying for a reason. Never have I read an entire book of nonfiction for no reason but to read it. [...]
Author: Dean Koontz Book: The Darkest Evening of the Year Genre: Horror/Suspense/Thriller Julia Rating: 9 Comments: I have to make an admission to start out with. I’ve never read Dean Koontz before horror month, so if I am missing some kind of a theme (aside from an affinity for golden retrievers) that is obvious to [...]
Before I start my little blurb about Howard Phillips Lovecraft I wanted to apologize for being absent and not completing out my week of author reviews last week. I had an issue with my shoulder and couldn’t type for a couple days, then was super backlogged. So, sorry. So now, to H.P. Lovecraft. I know [...]
If you guys haven’t checked out Pseudopod yet, I highly recommend it. They are a podcast magazine of horror stories and, in my opinion, are simply fantastic. The stories they publish are creepy as hell and so much fun to listen to. So, if you have enjoyed my horror book review month so far and [...]
Edgar Allan Poe, the classic horror short story author. I admit that I’ve been waiting to get to him, saving the best (in my opinion) to – almost – last. Poe knew how to craft a story that dealt in horror, in psychological thrillers and he even did some sci fi/fantasy works. My favorite examples [...]
