Two Mini Horror Reviews💀

“. . . horror isn’t just a genre. It’s not niche. It’s not cult. It’s a reflection of our world, of a woman’s world. A way to process our fears. Our histories and fractured homes. Our hopes. Our losses. Our very existence in a world dominated by patriarchy, misogyny, and violence.”

📚

Feral and Hysterical by Sadie "Mother Horror" Hartmann, a phenomenal resource compendium and reference guide for dark and disturbing horror fiction penned by women. Includes top-notch reviews, recommendations, and reading lists covering a variety of eras, audiences, age ranges, tropes, sub-genres, vibes, and themes, along with a stellar foreword and introduction and engaging essays. An awe-inspiring, TBR-tobbling gift, the ultimate treat, and an all-time must-have/must-read!

“There is a shadow that follows you closely. A black shadow. So close it looks almost like your own.”

📚

Dracula Beyond Stoker Issue 5: Arthur, Quincey, and Jack, the fifth installment in a fantastic fiction journal series “dedicated to celebrating and continuing the legacy of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.” Contains an introductory letter from the editor that frames the inclusions, along with profiles/appreciations of each of the three heroes — Jack Seward, Quincey Morris, and Arthur Holmwood — followed by nine stories (three for each character). A unique and captivating means of revisiting a beloved classic and experiencing it anew and beyond its original bounds. Thank you so much to Jasmine De La Paz for my beautiful gifted copy!
