Two Mini Horror Reviews:

“Hell is losing your mind and watching it go.”

📚

Sh!tshow by Chris Panatier, a touching, world-altering tale of a latrine technician and a dark carnival rife with engrossing local lore, laugh-out-loud funny moments, and oodles of gore. A heartbreaking, resonant, and satisfying story that lingers long after the final line.

“This is why she didn’t like to come home. She could not live in the present here. She could not see her feet in front of her or picture the next day or the next. Every moment pulled her deeper into the past, deeper into the land, and the more she struggled, the more she sank.”

📚

I’m Sorry If I Scared You by Mae Murray, a beautiful, brutal, strange, and unique blend of horror and sci-fi that explores violence and sexuality, abuse and trauma, possession and alienation, identity and self-acceptance, autonomy and agency, empowerment and belonging, poverty and despair, vengeance and retribution. Fearlessly (and superbly) written, rage-fueled, and nihilistic, it’s visceral and sobering, immersive and compelling, raw and poignant, shocking and appalling: a haunting and unflinching exploration of difficult subjects and harsh realities.
