Book Review: 'β€œCoyote Songs” by Gabino Iglesias

With our current political climate being what it is in our country, this book is one I couldn’t possibly recommend highly enough. It can be incredibly easy for people in places of privilege to remain removed and disconnected from what’s happening around them by putting down their phones or turning off their TVs, but it’s important to remain aware and engaged – even if it isn’t always easy.

10 Witchy or Magical Reccs for Kiddos & Middle Grade Readers

This month the blog is devoting an extra spotlight on content about all things witchy and magical. It’s something that’s always been near and dear to me as a reader since childhood. I absolutely adored getting lost in the pages of dark fantasy or exploring stories about magic and mysticism. Whether your kiddo gets lost in their imagination quite easily, or wants to explore the world of New Age or Pagan religions, you’ll find something on this list for them! I did my best to also include some lighter fare for the kids who are a bit easily spooked, or prefer a little gentler sort of magic.

Book Review: β€œExploring Dark Short Fiction #5” Han Song and Eric L. Guignard

This is better than a regular short story collection because it's curated from a reader's point of view, and can highlight the scope of a writer's work rather than just a singular theme, or era in the author's career.

David Demchuk’s The Bone Mother explores the very Canadian search for identity, using Horror as a telescope. Demchuk balances the modern and the old and ponders whether old ghosts (or creatures) still haunt us.

Book Review: β€œWyrd and other Derelictions” by Adam Nevill”

When a reader approaches a short story collection, there are certain expectations they have. First off, that a story will have a familiar structure, exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution. Secondly, that there will be characters who they will grow to like, hate, or find compelling. Lastly, that the stories will run a gamut of emotions. Adam Nevill takes all those preconceptions and uses his new collection Wyrd and Other Derelictions to show us what short stories can be capable of.
