Two Mini Horror Reviews💀

“No man is a good man.”

📚

Ending in Ashes by Rebecca Jones-Howe, a searing, epoch-spanning, neo-gothic collection that explores womanhood and depravity, fear and abuse, autonomy and violation, trauma and damage. Filled with vile men, brutal experiences, and fearless writing, the stories are as horrific and salacious as they are raw and page-turning. Favorites include: “The Fruits of Wartime (1920),” “Woman of the White Cottage (1912),” “Little Black Death (1875),” and “In His Hands (1692).”

“The truth is there for those foolish enough to find it.”

📚

Kill Your Darling by Clay McLeod Chapman, a visceral and penetrating grief horror masterpiece that cracks the reader’s chest wide open as it follows the life of a couple 40 years after their teenage son’s unsolved murder. A reading experience at once beautiful and horrific, gutting and powerful, desolate and haunting, tender and devastating.
