Two Mini Horror Reviews💀

“People hide from the things that make them vulnerable while they wait for the right moment, the opportunity to prey. It is instinctual to live in the dark.”

📚

Animals Eat Each Other by Elle Nash, a searing, fearless, fantastically written account that confronts taboo topics with gratuitous abandon. Gritty, raw, and simmering with something oh-so-special and hard to pin down, it’s a depressing, appalling, riveting, and binge-worthy novella with a lingering, fever-dream-like quality that makes this reader anxious to read more of Elle Nash’s work!

“Rumours and fables and vicious twisted little fairytales grow best in the dark; they're nourished with ignorance and a grotesque case of belief triumphing fact . . . optimal conditions for tales to sprout like mould . . .”

📚

The Ladie Upstairs by Jessie Elland, an intense, brutal, dark, and ambiguous story of obsession, body horror, and hysteria that explores weighty themes amid a historical upstairs/downstairs setting. Strange and revolting, wrathful and dreamy, it’s filled with bizarre, horrific, WTF moments that leave the reader confused, intrigued, and ultimately haunted.
