The Warren’s and their story has always absolutely fascinated me and I’m glad I finally got around to reading more about them. Still not sure I believe it wholly but doesn’t make it any less interesting! Loved the audio version, made great road trip company. 

This was disgusting and disturbing in the BEST way possible. From start to finish I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to see what horrifying, nasty shit would happen next and there’s nothing I love more than that feeling when reading horror. Definitely can’t wait to read more from this author! 

I don’t even know where to start with this book because it was so bloody brilliant. It’s the second Kingfisher I read and it definitely won’t be the last because their work is just phenomenal. The world they build in such a short time is mind blowing and I cannot recommend this story highly enough! 

Another instance of letting a book sit on my shelves unread for years and kicking myself when I finally pick it up because it’s so FUCKING GOOD. I was instantly drawn in and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. Legitimately horrifying at some parts and I always love feeling sick to my stomach when reading. That’s a sign of a damn fine horror novel for me! 

While I do tend to prefer Rule’s longer stories, I did quite enjoy this collection. Her writing never fails to capture me and draw me in even after reading dozens of her stories! 

The title of this story caught my eye and then the cover sealed the deal and I knew I had to have it. And the inside is just as stunning as the outside! This story gave me Guillermo del Toro mixed with Lewis Carroll vibes and if that doesn’t convince you to read it then I don’t know what will. I just love dark, gritty horror adjacent fairytales like this! 

Shockingly this was my first time reading this and I wish I had read it years ago because it’s bloody brilliant and I fucking LOVED it! 

THIS WAS SO GOOD. I was instantly hooked and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out what would happen. AND THAT ENDING. Jaw dropped. 

I never say no to a book about cults and this one was a good one! Learnt some me facts that were incredibly horrifying yet incredibly interesting.  

So. Fucking. Good. Nothing else needs to be said, just do yourself a favour and read this book and thank me later.
