My Heart is a Chainsaw (The Lake Witch Trilogy, #1) by Stephen Graham Jones

I am having such a good reading summer. I have had a plethora of five-star reads, including this gem. Also, this book tried to kill me by making me feel too many feelings. Fitting, with the body count and the genre. Like all the books I really love and that give me feelings, especially when I’m not quite sure where those feelings are coming from, I am having a really hard time reviewing My Heart is a Chainsaw. Jade is a teenaged girl in a […]

This is the slasher send-up I wanted

TW: abuse, alcoholism, self-harm, suicide BINGO: COLD [a portion of the story takes place in the frozen Idaho winter; also there are some cold-blooded murders] Jade is obsessed with horror movies. Specifically she loves slashers. She knows everything there is to know about the movies, the plots, the directors, the film-making process, everything. It is her entire life and personality, to a fault. She doesn’t have much else to do in a small town in Proofrock, Idaho. She even weaves in her slasher obsession into her […]

What Else Would You Look With?

My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones

Promising: Maybe every final girl in the history of final girls has had a horror chick whispering to her from just off-screen. Maybe this isn’t a deviation but the usual build. Just one nobody ever knows about until they’re smack-dab in the beating heart of it. What? Jade looks at him with just her eyes. Stephen Graham Jones’ My Heart is a Chainsaw is an uneven horror story that follows Jade, an alienated teenager who is obsessed with slasher films. Happenings in her town indicate […]

BRB, renting all the slashers

My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones

My first experience with Jones was The Only Good Indians a couple years ago, and from super eerie cover to last page, I was well and truly hooked. When I saw that his newest was available in Libby I jumped right on it – and I was not disappointed! Jade Daniels lives in the tiny town of Proofrock, Idaho. Jade is a self-proclaimed Horror Girl, who has watched so many slasher movies that she’s started to see the world around her through that lens. When […]

These were 100% cover reads, but they (mostly) ended up being great!

As mentioned in this post’s title, I saw these covers and immediately went OOOOH. Click click click. Free? Okay! Also, the idea of various genres of story that deal with nature and wildlife clashing with humans appeals to me. I did four of them by audio, and all four narrators were excellent (even for the one I two-starred), and two by Kindle. If you have Prime, they are free for you. Some of them really surprised me! “Wildlife,” by Jeff VanderMeer — 2 STARS This […]

Horror Triple Feature

The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

Just Like Mother by Anne Heltzel

Spontaneous Human Combustion by Richard Thomas

March 15, 2022 by Claudia Leave a Comment

Here are three separate novels that fit the horror or suspense genre! Quick ratings: The Only Good Indians: 4 stars Just Like Mother: 3 stars Spontaneous Human Combustion: Unrated (not my thing but not bad) The Only Good Indians This book feels like it is a story told in two parts. The first being a very gripping and effective psychological horror and the second being well – a little bit different and in my opinion, a little less effective. The novel follows a band of […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
