welcome book lovers


please join me in raising a glass wine/beer... and/or a slice of cake/pizza...and saying happy book birthday to the following book(s) 



Blake Swanson answered an ad for a job as a farmhand, but when he arrives for his interview, Lily, the widow who placed the ad, seduces him. He forgets everything but Lily as he falls down a rabbit hole of sex and terror.

Eva Bright is following a true crime scoop for a book, and infiltrates a cult run by a woman named Lily Maenad via a job posting. Working as Lily’s assistant, Eva knows she’s stumbled into something bigger than a doomsday cult. Lily isn’t just some nut in the woods trying to convince people she’s the next Messiah.

Eva teams up with a hopeless young man who has been drained by Lily, but are they enough to stop the terrors going on?

Swarms of powerful mosquitoes sucking victims dry. Insatiable horseflies feasting on living flesh. Huge roaches with a ferocious bite. No tent is safe at the Green Swamp Zip-Line Adventure and Campground.

Camp manager, Casey Lovitt, and entomologist, Dr. Phillip Edwards, must go up against powerful business interests and cover-ups from the local sheriff’s department to stop the deadly infestation. And with the busy tourist season fast approaching, time is running out. Will Casey and Phillip stop the onslaught of hungry bugs, or will the bodies continue to pile up among the long-buried secrets of the Green Swamp?


Now take a peek below to see what I thought about this book!




C'mon admit it...even if you won't I will...

I always wished that the old TV series Tales from the Crypt had...well, a bit more bite to them. Snark, sex, gore...the list goes on. And yes, some of those Crypt tales were fairly ground breaking at the time.

But guess what- lucky for me, and you if you dig those sorts of things, Unnerving has published a series of books called Rewind or Die that is all of those things and more and I couldn't be happier about it. I'm currently working my way though all of them.

I found this tale from Miller a bit different from the others I've read in the series. Now, that's not a bad thing. For me this one has been one of the more developed stories (very well done) BUT a bit overall less over the top fun and gory. Again, not a bad thing, just a different. There is a familiarity to Miller's writing that I really enjoyed and served this tale well. I cared about both Eva and Blake and rooted for them.

And like any good horror story- we don't always get exactly what we want...until maybe something happens and it makes you think...hmm maybe I wanted THIS ending after all! Intrigued? And the best part - you can grab your copy right now!
