Last night I watched MaXXXine, Ti West’s hyped followup to the throwback slasher flick X and its prequel Pearl. While I am no Roger when it comes to talking cinema, my newly found passion for horror generally has me sharing my thoughts over on my Letterboxd account. Though these “reviews” are usually my low-spoons post-movie impressions. MaXXXine is a big one so I figure it’d be fun to share my thoughts with you! There may be minor spoilers for X…
Happy Sunday, peeps! I’ve not long wrapped up streaming for today so I’m pretty low energy. Why not run through the best of what I have read this year so far? If I’m not reviewing, I gotta share those thoughts somehow! Will include quotes from my Goodreads reviews. 5 – Kagen the Damned by Jonathan Maberry I’ve wanted to read Kagen the Damned since adding it to my upcoming releases post, back when I did those.1 The cover is gorgeous…
Last year, actually right around New Year’s, I was searching Discord for a nice horror book community. I started checking out the public servers and peeped into Dreadcord, the Discord server attached to r/horror. While it’s very much movie focused and not book focused (still looking for that book community, most of mine are fantasy-focused), I found it a fun place to be and surprising myself, became quite active in there for a time. In here, I learned about Letterboxd,…
Oh hello there! It has been a while. I’ve not had the spoons to write much at all these past few months and so to preserve what little energy I have, I let myself leave the blog ticking along. However, I’m having a bit of a reading renaissance this year, it seems, and I’m just so excited about so many books I thought it would be nice to share some of that excitement. As such, here are all of the…
I think for this first day of Blaugust I want to talk a little about how I’m spending my time these days. I would be remiss if I didn’t start with why I have so much time to spend, so I’ll just explain where I am health-wise first. The Spoon Question Very often I’ll mention “not having enough spoons” for an activity and be asked what that means. Other people have explained this better than I can. But in essence,…
Happy September, everybody! Time to take a look at some of the most interesting science fiction, horror, and fantasy book releases in September 2022. I must admit, it’s been a slow reading month for me. I’ve been trying to prepare for a new Dungeons & Dragons campaign that needs a lot of reading and research so naturally, I started watching Lucifer instead. It’s certainly slowed me down, but that hasn’t stopped me from checking what’s out there and heck if…
Hello dear readers! I’m typing this post out as the UK is under a huge heatwave and currently I don’t trust August to be great on that front, but at least we’ve got books for company while we all melt… right? Let’s dive into the most interesting of the science fiction, horror, and fantasy book releases of August 2022. So with August we’re starting to enter the holiday period. Yes, yes, I know, Christmas is months away, but August/September is…
