Dive into the gripping world of “Stolen Prophet: The Prophet’s Mother Book 1,” an intense urban fantasy thriller by Julian M. Coleman.
The Lottery and Other Stories (FSG Classics) by Shirley Jackson <— ONE-CLICK SALE ALERT!!! Oooooh “The Lottery” is on sale right now & I just one-clicked it SO HARD. I no longer have my paperback copy and that story was jaw-dropping. An unforgettable favorite!!
I even asked our Facebook crew a few years ago:
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE, eerie, short story… one that you always think about? Like mine would be “The Lottery” (I LOVED that crazy, creepy, “HOLY MOLY what did I just read?!” story)
“Bring Her Back“ <—- Another one I’ve been DYING to see (since I saw the previews at the movie theatre). Touted as the scariest movie of the year, and “OMG THE trauma”, and the “best movie I never want to watch again” and the subject lines to every review I saw about it gave me an absolute jolt of YESSSSSSS SHOW IT TO MEEEEE!!! I was so excited. The title alone had me on the edge of my seat, and this genre of movie is my absolute catnip of all horror movie tropes.
YAY ME!! I watched the latest Final Destination Bloodlines and it was SO MUCH FUN!!!!! Exciting and scary, and clever (creative when it came to the deaths – these writers are so clever!!), and so in your face about it. I absolutely LOVE the crazy, out of this world premonitions that start the movie because they are gasp-worth & terrifying and shocking, and WOW this one did not disappoint.
I loved the comedy in this one too.
I mean to take something terrifying and have a group of characters interact and react the way they do, to each other makes it so fun – you feel the camaraderie, connections, the banter – ohhhhh the banter!!!! 😊 – and personal life issues that they have and the focus is NOT only on the horror aspect. Favorite death scene? ALL OF THEM. But especially the initial premonition, the hospital MRI scene and the tattoo parlor scene. PURE EXCELLENCE and a few fun twists along the way. MAN I LOVED IT!
ROMANCE/COMEDY HORROR ALERT!! Okay okay I know what you’re thinking… UGH THAT COVER!! 😂 But, I love coming across fun conversations we’ve had in our book past, and here’s one that I never dedicated a post to, but that should have been front and center!
I suspect because it was part “horror” that maybe it wouldn’t fit the blog so much, but our book crew had so much fun reading it, that any book that gets this kind of response, should be featured!
