I'm not much of a reviewer but I sank into this book. the characters were flawed in ways but I loved them all. They were real!

Really does feel like a true crime book.

I watch true crime content on YouTube. The BOOGEYMAN series is a must read for fans of Kendall Rae.

Great Mystery Novel Dressed Up As A Horror

Revisado: 02-01-24

I loved THE NIGHT SISTER by Jennifer McMahon. I know it's only January but this is easily my favorite read so far in 2024!

A good crime novel

Revisado: 09-29-23

HOLLY is a good crime novel from the undisputed literary master, Stephen King, on par with his previous title MR. MERCEDES.

Classic of the genre

Revisado: 06-10-23

Michael McDowell's CLOD MOON OVER BABYLON is vintage horror at it's finest! It's incredibly scary and one that every fan of the genre should read.

A true return to form

Revisado: 09-30-22

Stephen King is my favorite author. Let that be known. And, as of late, I haven't really loved his books. A couple good recent ones come to mind (thinking of THE OUTSIDER and THE INSTITUTE) and I've despised others (thinking of SLEEPING BEAUTIES and BILLY SUMMERS). The others have just been "meh". The last Stephen King novel I truly loved was REVIVAL...and that came out nearly a decade ago. FAIRY TALE is on par with REVIVAL. I loved it to death. He's still got it, clearly.

A solid King read.

I had very high hopes for this book. Did it hit the mark? Well, it didn't nail it but, overall, it's a pretty good read.

It's fine.

Revisado: 04-03-21

This is only my second Stephen Graham Jones book. I was ultimately let down. I love his writing. I love his style. THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS is a fantastic read! This one, though...it was fine. There's nothing inherently wrong with it...it just feels like a mediocre CREEPSHOW segment. Not much else to say about it, 3/5.

Great read, great experience...

Revisado: 04-03-21

So I just read this book. One sitting, straight through. It's marketed as a horror novel but it really isn't. For one thing, it's not really a novel. It's more of a long novella. I also wouldn't classify it as horror. It does have some horror elements but they're very much on the back-burner of this story. That said, I love this book. In fact, this might be my favorite I've read so far this year. It's a story of two inexperienced (and very awkward) seventeen-year-olds who decide to go canoeing for their first date. James, the male protagonist, knows of a secret lake beyond the publicly recognized lake that would be very private for the two of them to get to know each other. Once there, they find a third, smaller lake (which James' uncle describes is more like a swamp--"ugly") and at the bottom of said lake is a very large, two-story house...and it is fully furnished. As they swim deeper into the lake, deeper into the house, and deeper in love, the house reveals the truth of young love. The whole story is a metaphor, really, and it's done beautifully. I would give it 5/5 stars but I can't. The story runs literally just a couple pages too long that hinders the story in my opinion so I have to knock it down to 4/5...maybe 4.5 out of 5.
