Release Date: 9th October 2026

Blurb

WELCOME TO MISERY MANOR, WHERE ALL OF YOUR WORST FEARS ARE BROUGHT TO LIFE...

I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE FOLLOWED MY BOYFRIEND TO THE BAR, BUT I COULDN'T SHAKE THE FEELING THAT HE WAS CHEATING ON ME.

A FEELING THAT'S CONFIRMED WHEN I GET THERE AND FIND HIM, NOT ONLY WITH HER, BUT ALL OF OUR FRIENDS, TOO.

AND I KNOW I SHOULDN'T TAG ALONG WHEN THE SIX OF THEM SUGGEST A TRIP TO MISERY MANOR, BUT DESPITE EVERYTHING, I JUST WANT TO BE NEAR HIM.

WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SIMPLE HAUNTED HOUSE

EXPERIENCE TURNS INTO SO MUCH MORE WHEN I OVERHEAR SOMETHING I SHOULDN'T, SOMETHING THAT I NEVER COULD HAVE THOUGHT THE PEOPLE I'M CLOSEST TO WERE CAPABLE OF.

ONE BY ONE, HARSH TRUTHS, BRUTAL REALITIES, AND DARK FANTASIES REVEAL THEMSELVES. NONE OF US WILL BE THE SAME BY THE END OF IT.

I JUST HOPE WE MAKE IT OUT ALIVE.

ENJOY YOUR STAY AT MISERY MANOR...

Am I enjoying this book? Yes! Is the editor in me screaming and dying to take a red pen and cut entire paragraphs of useless information? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY!

This man is without a doubt FUNNY AS HELL! But good lord I pray he was getting paid by the word because the AMOUNT THIS BOY REPEATS HIMSELF IS ASININE!

Once this man gets to the point I’m gonna have to sum this up to see just how much chaff is actually here. (Edit I did…some of it)

Link to my man rambling about cigarettes for half a century only to say he gave one to a specter!

The next pick for the Black History Month novel showcase gets a bit spooky with The Taking of Jake Livingston by Ryan Douglass.

Cranky swamp witches, ghost babysitters, lesbian vampires, found family, fairytale but make it an LGBTQ+ allegory-- What else do you need in a Halloween read?

OCTOBER 4TH

Exploration of Room B is about a dead beat drunk of a dad named Brian. Like seriously. Brian sucks. Yeah he takes his kid, Samuel, to the carnival but he spends the whole time getting drunk, looking for a lady to possibly screw in a port-a-potty, and just disapproves everything his sone does (for example want a kick ass balloon animal). Brian even gets the nerve to get all pissed that his son is ‘too soft’ while Brian thinks he should be disciplining Samuel the way he was as a child...but the workers of the carnival invite Brian into a special exhibit and have a word with him...in private.

Exploration of Room B had a spooky feel throughout the video but the ending kinda gives you a good feeling in your gut...like justice is gonna get served real quick. I enjoyed it and I hope you do to.

SPOOPY RECOMENDATION: It by Stephen King

Gonna stay with the clown theme today :D

“It” is a Stephen King classic and if you haven’t seen at least a trailer of the remake this year...where have you been? The plot is relatively simple: a demonic clown is out killing children while the adults do basically nothing about it(classic horror trope) One group of kids are tormented by the clown but grow up in hopes of leaving the nightmare known as IT behind...too bad IT returns when they all come back to the town they left behind.

If you don’t stop, you’ll live.

If you do, you know what will happen. So for the love of all things unholy, don’t stop.

The Halloween Harvesters

*NOTE* This is a similar theme to the “Ride or Die” hitchhiker standalones but due to the horror nature of this story, it’s not linked to that series. But check them out if you want to read more hitchhiker stories!

Don’t Stop is an extreme horror novella that is not in KU due to content. Read responsibly!
