Qotd: what do you consider to be cheating on your partner? ... Beneath the Door-Book1 of the Chrysals Saga is an exceptionally written suspense. I enjoyed guessing throughout the book. It has a slow pace though but nonetheless It was a good read. I like the characters and the dialogues that went on between them. Most of all, the book has a lot of suspense! You can guess all you want like I did but at the end i realised I was terribly wrong. Totally recommend to mystery and suspense lovers.

👻 Welcome to the @sbookyclub! 📚 So for something a little different, I've made it my mission to make sure that I start putting more time aside for reading, (and the odd bit of writing, too!), so I thought that I would create the #sBookyClub, (do you see what I did there?! 👀). #sBookyClub isn't just about spooky books; it's a place for spook lovers who are also book lovers! Feel free to use the hashtag for any type of book, or even to promote your own if you've written one! I've also created a @sbookyclub account so if you love books head over there to join in. I'll try and share some #sBookyClub authors to our stories every now and then too! 🙂 And don't forget to search the hashtag for recommendations or to find other spook book lovers to chat and interact with. This community is here to support authors and readers of all levels, so please help each other out. Maybe you know someone who can't read, or maybe you have a condition that prevents you from being able to read; this is the hashtag to use to ask for advice, guidance, or just for a friendly book chat. In the UK, the literacy rate is 99%, which sounds high... but that still means that 1 person in every 100 struggles to read and/or write. Let's try to help that 1 in 100, and put some time by for ourselves also, by getting stuck into a book every now and then! 👻🖤 Happy reading, Spooksters! 🖤👻 #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #scarystories #KentCoastGhosts #writingcommunity #bibliophile #spookybooks #bookclubofinstagram #bookclub #ghostwriter #booktok #bookshelf #librarylove #readersgonnaread #readingchallenge #selfcarethreads (at Kent, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn6qRuxMXT0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚕𝚢 𝚠𝚊𝚢 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑... The Larkin siblings are known around the small town of Wofford Falls. Both are artists, but Peter is the hometown hero. The one who went to the big city and got famous, then came back and settled down. He’s the kind of guy who becomes fast friends with almost anyone. His sister Betsy, on the other hand, is more…𝕖𝕔𝕔𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕣𝕚𝕔. She keeps to herself. When Lark goes to deliver one of his latest pieces to a fabulously rich buyer, it seems like a regular transaction. Until the guard plays him a live feed: Betsy being abducted in real time. Lark is informed that she’s safe for now, but her well‑being is entirely in his hands. He's given a book. Do what the book says, and Betsy will go free. It seems simple enough. But as Lark begins to read, he realizes that the book might be demonic. Its writer may be unhinged. His sister's captors are almost certainly not what they seem. And his town and those within it are... changing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 This was truly unlike anything I’ve read. It was so weird and disorienting, with a few moments of genuine horror. The story starts like an ordinary abduction and transforms into so much more. The writing was done well, the story itself was unique, and the fact that it kept me on the edge of my seat, guessing what would happen next, was a plus. This by no means was perfect. The ending was so abrupt that it was slightly jarring. This is a multi-POV. We are given the prospectives from Lark, a ghost, and some other loveable characters. The overall feeling was totally immersive while completely feeling uneasy. This won’t be for everyone - at times, it's confusing and all over the place, but it was 100% a five-star read for me. I absolutely loved it. Add this to your TBR.

🐉RATING: 🔥🔥🔥🔥/5 Is Literary Horror a recognized sub-genre? Because that’s how I would categorize It Rides a Pale Horse by Andy Marino. My only experience with horror writing was reading The Shining as a teen (and I now have teen daughters), but the description of this book intrigued me. And I’m so glad I decided to try something different. I won’t go into too much detail so I don’t spoil anything. The story centers around artist siblings Lark and Betsy, and what happens when they are swept up into the world of extremely rich art collectors. The anticipation builds slowly to allow time for character development, while dropping hints about their past. As the plot unfolds in the present, the reader is treated to flashbacks that provide further depth and understanding of the artists and their relationship. The mood throughout is dark, but thankfully has moments of levity. The action is broken up by large chapters devoted to Rayanne, a spirit who resides in the collectors’ compound. Rayanne, a country music one-hit-wonder, is plucky with a wry sense of humor. It is through her memories and observations that the reader begins to understand the full horror of what Lark and Betsy could face. The book definitely has some gruesome moments, but the way it was described provided enough distance that it didn’t feel overwhelming. Quite a bit is shared as backstory by Rayanne, and her narrating style is light despite the nasty tales she tells. And I much prefer the supernatural horror that infuses this story over the more “real world” settings of many scary books and movies. I found It Rides a Pale Horse to be incredibly engaging, although with its literary style (i.e. big words) and frequent references to the art world, it won’t appeal to every casual horror fan. But for readers like me, who enjoy literary fiction and fantasy, and want to test out their tolerance for horror, this book just might be the perfect fit. ❓QOTD: Do you read or watch horror?

Blurb:

When you get told to run, you get up and don’t look back.

We had one shot to get out of the Sinister Minister’s grasp, and we took it. Hand in hand, Kansas and I fled in the middle of the night, with a promise that we’d never tell a soul about what happened at that house, and how Constantine died.

Eisley has spent the last decade looking over her shoulder while trying to forget the horrors The Minister and ‘The Family’ inflicted upon her and others. However, something continues to call to her. In the deepest roots of her psyche, she can’t escape the nightmares of her time trapped in the cult.

All of her fears come to a head when she finds a letter taped to her door, informing her that a documentary is being made about The Minister and the events that took place ten years ago. When she politely declines, she can’t help but wonder why they didn’t fight her more to talk.

It isn’t until she turns on the TV that she sees that they didn’t need her to talk because they had someone else to captivate their audience. They found Constantine.

He’s alive.

He remembers that they left him.

Unnameable

Publication Date: October 25, 2024

Genre: Horror

A captain with a haunted past...

One last daring rescue mission...

A stalking evil even he can't outrun...

Nathaniel Carter is ashamed of his dark secret.

For eighteen years he's fled from his past, desperate to escape his dreaded memories forever.

In search of gold and a fresh start, he leads his men on a rescue mission deep into the mountains. But as they venture on, he begins to suspect something other than war-crazed Confederates is stalking his men...

As the team nears their destination, Nathaniel fears that the entities abducting his crew are linked to his buried sins — and the malformed brother who seeks his revenge.

Can he confront his inner demons to save his troops, or will he doom them all to a fate worse than death?

Unnamable is a gripping work of horror fiction. If you like supernatural thriller books, horror and suspense, and brooding terror, you will love Andrew Schrader's page-turner that seethes with raw power.

Books With heavier or lighter topics? ..... The Descendants by Destiny Hawkins was a very interesting book. It's sort of a thriller and mystery all in one. I love the characters and the dialogues. Its a dark fantasy about an academy that is not really what it seems. Normally i like reading this kind of plot so It was very easy for me to enjoy it. There wasn't anything special or different though to be honest. It felt very similar to the ones I've read before. If you love reading fantasies that involve nurseries, academies, and a lot of teens then this book is for you! ..... Cual prefieres? Libros con temas mas pesados o mas ligeros? ..... #mybookstaengagement #darklybookish #bookishlynaija #bookishlyengaged #bookishlydreaming  #bookishdreaming #antiqueacademia #spookyreads #bookishbeennaija #bookstaly #darkacademia #forthethrillofit #spookybooks #bookstababesx3 #bookishbuddyread #bookishladiesclub https://www.instagram.com/p/CnyzwB0rf54/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Qotd: what was your most recent witchy read? . Finished the Kissing Curse 2 days ago. I think i preferred the ex hex 🤔 . For this one, you need to buckle up. There are two plot lines and loads of characters but it’s sooooo good. Definitely witchy and even a bit spooky, #thewitchoftinmountain will have you staying up way too late. Not to be missed by witchy readers. . In Depression-era Arkansas, something wicked has come to a haunted mountain town in a novel of uncanny suspense by the author of Parting the Veil. Blood and power bind three generations of women in the Ozark Mountains. So does an evil that’s followed them across the decades.
