Book Review – ”The Amityville Horror”

Long before the Satanic Panic gripped the American psyche, there existed a cultural fascination with the eerie and the occult. This fervor was largely fueled by blockbuster movies such as Rosemary’s Baby, The Omen, and The Exorcist, each rooted in a chilling narrative drawn from books, purportedly inspired by true events. Among them stands The Amityville Horror, a novel that blurs the line between fact and fiction. Penned by Jay Anson and published in 1977, The Amityville Horror recounts the harrowing twenty-eight days the Lutz family endured in their new home at 112 Ocean Ave, Amityville, New York. The narrative unfolds in a documentary style, based on 45 hours of recorded audiotapes capturing the family's firsthand accounts. The story commences with George and Kathy Lutz’s purchase of 112 Ocean Ave at a remarkably low price due to its infamous history […]

Holly by Stephen King – Book Review

I hadn't heard of "Holly" until I stumbled upon Stephen King's latest work, and I have to say, he's managed to delve into a realm of horror that he hasn't explored before. For someone known for unsettling readers with children, deranged characters like Annie Wilkes, and even supernatural entities like possessed cars, King takes a sharp turn by focusing on two seemingly harmless retirees in "Holly." These elderly lovers, former professors from the Midwest, become the unlikely epicenter of tension and dread in King's narrative, reminiscent of historical figures like Elizabeth Báthory or even modern criminals like Jeffrey Dahmer. Review of "Holly" Holly Gibney, a character we first met in "Mr. Mercedes," now takes center stage as she leads Finders Keepers, her own detective agency. Her latest challenge: solving the mystery behind a young woman's disappearance. As Holly delves deeper, […]

In a genre often dominated by futuristic technology and sprawling space operas, Ballingrud refreshingly delves into the timeless allure of planetary romance, echoing classics that have captivated readers for over a century.

Unpacking the Layers of “A House with Good Bones” by T. Kingfisher

Publication date: 28- 03-2023 Genre: Horror; Southern Gothic Language: English Pages: 256 The title of "A House With Good Bones" is intriguing and sets the tone for a book that, despite its name, doesn't feature actual buried bones under or inside the house. Yet, it captures the essence of the story effectively. Samantha, the protagonist, is okay; the secondary characters are mostly fine; the antagonist is quite interesting; but Edith, Samantha’s mother, absolutely steals the show. Edith’s multidimensional character and genuine kindness, self-sacrifice, and ability to confront her fears make her a standout. Samantha, on the other hand, seems clueless for a long time. While Edith broadly understands what’s happening, Samantha spends a lot of time in denial. Despite this, I found Edith to be a much more likable character. The underground children might not appeal to everyone, but I […]
