Book Review: 'The Monster Club' by R. Chetwynd-Hayes
The cover alone of ‘The Monster Club’ by R. Chetwynd-Hayes told me I would love it: vampires, goblins, and ghouls. The book is a collection of short stories, tied together with another framing story. It begins when Donald finds a starving man on the street and takes him home to feed him. Offering him some food, Donald soon discovers that the man is, in fact, a vampire. After supping on Donald,…
Book Review: 'The Thursday Murder Club' by Richard Osman
I’ve always liked Richard Osman as a presenter/comedian, so I’ve been eager to read ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ for a while. The story follows a cast of retirees in a retirement village who solve old murder cases for fun. The novel opens with Joyce, an ex-nurse, receiving an invitation into the inner circle. All seems fine and peaceful until the man who owns the place makes plans to dig up the…
Book Review: 'The Family Upstairs' by Lisa Jewell
Although horror is my favourite genre, I sometimes pick up a thriller. Lisa Jewell’s ‘The Family Upstairs’ intrigued me so much that when my book club chose it, I was eager to start. Stories with cults, troubled childhoods, or domestic horror always draw me in. So, this novel was a perfect fit. Jewell’s book begins with Libby, a woman adopted as a child, learning that she has inherited the…
Book Review: 'The Deep' by Nick Cutter
I loved ‘The Troop’ by Nick Cutter, and the ocean depths have always awed me, so my heart was racing as I dove into ‘The Deep’. The book follows Luke Nelson during a plague of forgetfulness. People walk into walls, forgetting what they’re doing. Eventually, they forget to breathe. But there’s hope: a substance discovered on the seabed may be a cure. Luke’s genius brother is at the bottom of the…
Book Review: 'The Evil Dead: 40th Anniversary Edition' by Mark Verheiden and John Bolton
I’ve loved Evil Dead for decades, so when my wife bought me ‘The Evil Dead: 40th Anniversary Edition’, I was ecstatic. Written by Mark Verheiden, this graphic novel covers the first movie. In case you’ve lived under a chained-up basement trapdoor all your life, here’s a summary of the movie. A group of friends drive up to a secluded cabin in the woods for a fun weekend away. They expect peace,…
Book Review: 'All Hallows' by Christopher Golden
Christopher Golden’s ‘All Hallows’ is my first read of 2026! I started it in October 2025, but life got in the way of my usual reading habits. I managed to get back into it shortly after NYE, and then I tore through Golden’s eighties throwback novel. And man, what a novel it was. ‘All Hallows’ follows a host of characters living along Parmenter Road, Massachusetts. The story takes place on…
Book Review: 'A Thousand Ships' by Natalie Haynes
Greek mythology has never been my thing; every time I approached it, I ended up bored to death. The books felt dry and longer than the Great Wall of China, like eating dust while hoping for a tasty morsel that never materialised. The same goes for any movie. If I had to choose between watching a film on this topic or not watching one at all, I know what I’d pick. Enter Natalie Haynes. For my…
Book Review: 'Silver Nitrate' by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s ‘Silver Nitrate’ is my latest read of 2025. Moreno-Garcia first popped onto my radar with the release of ‘Mexican Gothic’ (which I’ve still yet to read). So, when I found ‘Silver Nitrate’ on the shelf, I grabbed it – and not only because that red cover oozes coolness. ‘Silver Nitrate’ follows Montserrat, an awkward sound editor. She’s in love with her childhood best…
Book Review: 'Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead' by Olga Tokarczuk
Olga Tokarczuk’s ‘Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead’ is my latest read of 2025. Like ‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’ and ‘Alias Grace’, this novel was a pick for my work’s book club. This month’s theme? Nobel Prize Winners. (Tokarczuk won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2018 – nine years after ‘Drive Your Plow…’ was first published.) The story follows Janina, an older woman living on a…
Book Review: 'Hunger' by Rodman Philbrick
Rodman Philbrick’s (writing as William R. Dantz) ‘Hunger’ is my latest read of 2025! I am part of several horror reader circles, and the theme of aquatic terrors has come up. As a fan of movies like ‘Jaws’ and ‘Deep Blue Sea’, it piqued my curiosity. Someone recommended ‘Hunger’, saying it was like ‘Deep Blue Sea.’ It seemed like a no-brainer for a breezy summer read, so I was in. Yet, it took…
Book Review: 'What Moves the Dead' by T. Kingfisher
T. Kingfisher’s ‘What Moves the Dead’ is my latest 2025 read. This book has been on my radar for a while, often cropping up in online horror circles. Given its short runtime, I decided to give it a go on the train to and from Vienna. It’d breeze by and cleanse my palate after the heavy Margaret Atwood I’d finished a day prior. The story follows Alex Easton, a retired soldier who receives word…
Book Review: 'Alias Grace' by Margaret Atwood
I started a new job this year, and with it came a company book club. How cool is that? This month’s pick is Margaret Atwood’s ‘Alias Grace’. The novel follows Grace Marks, a young Irish girl born into poverty. We journey with her across the ocean to Canada, where she finds work as a servant in wealthier homes. And that’s where the trouble begins. Two people end up dead. The law hangs a man and…
Book Review: 'Burnt Offerings' by Robert Marasco
A chilling classic from the ’70s, Robert Marasco’s ‘Burnt Offerings’ is my latest read of 2025. I picked up a secondhand copy from one of my favourite local bookstores. Having seen it featured in Grady Hendrix’s ‘Paperbacks from Hell’, I’d wanted to read it for a while. The novel follows the Rolfe family, desperate to escape another summer in the Bronx. It seems like a dream when they discover…
Book Review: 'A Moonlit Path of Madness' by Catherine McCarthy
Catherine McCarthy’s ‘A Moonlit Path of Madness’ is my latest read of 2025. It took me a while to finish, but that’s not the book’s fault; life’s been chaotic. My wife gave it to me as a Christmas gift, along with a year’s worth of other books. And boy, does she know my taste in literature. The story – set at the turn of the 20th century – follows Grace, whose mentally ill mother has passed…
Book Review: 'Remarkably Bright Creatures' by Shelby Van Pelt
Shelby Van Pelt’s ‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’ marks book two of the year. I’ve started a new job at a company that has a book club, and I was very much looking forward to joining. We’re discussing this book for our first meeting of the year, and I can’t wait to chat with everyone about it. ‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’ follows the paths of Tova and Cameron. Tova is recently widowed and lost…
Book Review: 'Ghost Story' by Peter Straub
Peter Straub’s Ghost Story is my first read of 2025! I started this book around Halloween last year, but finishing it took me a while. I picked it up after reading Stephen King’s high praise. And I’ve also enjoyed the books the two co-wrote (‘The Talisman’, ‘Black House’). I adore King’s slow-burn, small-town epics, so I went into this one expecting the same. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for…
Book Review: 'Caliban Cove (Resident Evil, #2)' by S.D. Perry
For the final book of my 2024 reading challenge, I picked up S.D. Perry’s ‘Caliban Cove (Resident Evil, #2)’. Having enjoyed Perry’s first ‘Resident Evil’ novelization, I wanted something lighthearted and easy. With its evil corporations, secret labs, and hordes of zombies, this book was a no-brainer. Pun intended. Unlike most of Perry’s Resident Evil books, ‘Caliban Cove’ is not tied to a…
