Imagine, if you will, being suddenly blinded and forced to navigate the world while protecting your two young children, all while unseen monsters stalk you. Thus is the premise of Josh Malerman’s debut novel Bird Box. The plot jumps around in time with some chapters taking place several years in the past, when reports of strange and disturbing events in Russia begin filtering onto U.S. news channels. Something that people are seeing is making them lose their minds, causing them to murder people and/or […]
Well, It’s Obviously Not a Vampire
There is a great mystery at the heart of Dreamcatcher, and it is this: I have no idea how it ended up on my e-reader. I didn’t buy it. Nobody gifted it to me. I’m not a King aficionada so it’s not as if it got lost in my enormous collection. But anyway: there it was, and for reasons that are entirely beyond me, I decided to give it a try. Let me preface this by saying I’d never read a Stephen King novel, […]
You have forgotten the face of your father.
It’s so funny, as I’m reading this series for the first time, to see the (very) polarizing opinions about each book. One person gives it up after the first thirty pages of the first book because it’s so fucking weird, the next wants to read all of them in a mad, passionate frenzy.

Our time here has been wonderful. I really feel this school has transformed […]
CBR9 #2 – Cthulu on the Bayou
In which Siege gets down with some good old fashioned horror, set in the post-war South.
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Oh man. This is going to be a doozy. I am still mad and I finished this up last night. I mean I woke up at one point last night and maybe screeched yelled at the final reveal to this book. I have loved older Koontz books, but his most recent stuff besides the Odd Thomas books hasn’t really resonated with me.
