My Horror Review Column in the June 2023 issue of Library Journal is live. Here in this post I have gathered the titles with my three words and links to my full draft reviews on Goodreads.
Enjoy.
First the STARS:
- The Beast You Are: Stories by Paul Tremblay [menacing. strong narrative voice, pervasively creepy]
- The Reformatory by Tananarive Due [engrossing, 360 degrees of fear, nuanced]
- Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle [neurodiverse MC, cinematic, religious cults]
And the other 5 excellent titles:
- A Moonlit Path of Madness by Catherine McCarthy [Gothic, immersive, quiet but w/ pervasive unease]
- 101 Books To Read Before You’re Murdered by Sadie Hartmann [Genre overview, participatory, conversational tone]
- Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia [superlative world building, occult film, thought provoking]
- Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas [Lush, Romance, Historical Horror]
- What Kind of Mother by Clay McLeod Chapman [body horror, psychological horror, viscerally terrifying]
