No Exit by Taylor Adams

No Exit by Taylor Adams

September 1, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

I honestly have nothing to say outside of if you want to follow a thriller that has the main lead do stupid things the whole book, this is the book for you. “No Exit” follows college student, Darby Thorne who is traveling home to see her mother and sister during a snowstorm that turns into a full fledged blizzard. Darby eventually can’t see and stops at a rest stop. While there, she meets 4 other people. Stepping outside to see if she can get a […]

Out There Screaming Edited by Jordan Peele

Out There Screaming by Jordan Peele

August 31, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

I started this last November and yep, took me until today to just finally dust it off my TBR. I quit it because honestly I didn’t really enjoy this entire anthology at all. Some of the stories bored me out of my skull. I always try to make sure I post a min-review on each story in an anthology, but I almost DNFed this one and felt bad about that since most of the writers are Black and POC. Also this got awards which made […]

The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones

The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones

August 31, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

Sigh. Whatever man. At this point I am going to just quit reading Stephen Graham Jones. I don’t want to even hear the words slasher or final girl for the next month until October when I just watch some freaking Jason movies to wipe this whole novel out of my brain. Why did I buy this in paperback?! There’s honestly not much to say here, just like horror movie trilogies, “The Indian Lake Trilogy” went out with a whimper with a lot of, well that […]

Uzumaki cover

Spirals, swirls, and twirls

Uzumaki by Ito, Junji

August 28, 2025 by vega-table Leave a Comment

Bingo Row 4 – Favorite Someone recently asked me who my top 5 manga creators (mangaka) are. I struggled to find a 5th and eventually said Junji Ito to end the conversation. I hadn’t read enough Ito to say he’s honestly a favorite. I’ve liked what I’ve seen, but that’s not much. Just some short stories and I have a sweatshirt with his cats on it. And that King of the Hill crossover, if that counts. So that I wouldn’t be living a lie, I […]

“When faced with true sorrow, people lose even the strength to shed tears.”

Strange Pictures: The Japaense Mystery-Horror Sensation by Uketsu; translated by Jim Rion

August 23, 2025 by bjornsnipe Leave a Comment

Nine childlike drawings: a series of five pictures drawn by a pregnant woman, uploaded on a seemingly innocuous blog a child’s sketch of his home a drawing done by a young girl in therapy and two different drawings by two different murder victims One over-arching and terrifying mystery that connects them all. Can you solve it?   I probably should have read this book before Strange Houses; not only was it published first, but (I believe) two characters appear here that also appear in Strange […]

Because love isn’t just for the sane, undamaged people

Paladin's Grace by T. Kingfisher

August 20, 2025 by stegolily Leave a Comment

Bingo: I am counting this for the “White” square in Cannonball Read bingo. I know there isn’t a lot of white on the cover, but technically there is some, and also I just really needed this square so that I could get my first bingo. So there. “If we limited loving to just the sane, undamaged people, the next generation would have about three people in it and presumably humanity would die out shortly afterward.” Stephen was once blessed by a god, protecting the innocent […]
