Re-imaginings of Classics
I love when an author can take a classic story and make it their own. The best ones often add to the original in a stunningly complimentary way. The following are some such books that I have read recently and believe to be masterful pieces of work that could become classics themselves. What Moves the…
The Nightmare Man by J.H. Markert
The Nightmare Man is a book filled with folklore come dangerously to life. Folklore that was told to one of our main characters, Ben Bookman, by his grandfather when he was a child.

Honorary Losers Club Members
Do you love the way Stephen King writes friend groups, like in It and Stand by Me? If so, you will love these books. The kids in these books have that tight-knit comradery that is always prevalent in Stephen King’s writing, and of course, they each have their own monsters to conquer. The Stars Did…
Brenna Yovanoff books
I’ve read a majority of Brenna Yovanoff’s work. She has become one of my favorite authors. She is so incredible at her craft and knows exactly how to tear my heart in two then put it back together again. If you’ve never read any of her books, I highly recommend you check one out. I’ve…
Books with a twist!
This is a short list of books I read in 2022 that each had a twist or two at the end that caught me off guard. I love when a book can make me audibly gasp, and these books did just that. Don’t worry! I won’t spoil the twists for you. I’m just going to…

The Hiding Place by C.J. Tudor
Joe believes you can run from your past, that you can become a new person in a new place and completely shed your old skin. But, when you go back home, you slip right back into it. And you will always eventually end up back home, for one reason or another, whether you like it…
Belladonna by Adalyn Grace

The Pallbearers Club by Paul Tremblay
Art Barbara (alias) is writing a memoir about his relationship with a strange friend he made back when he was a teenager – a friend he believes to be a vampire. They meet through a small club Art founded at his school (because it would look good on a college application) called the Pallbearers Club.…
Hide by Kiersten White
“Set the watch. Do not leave the gate open. Do not let it go hungry.” Fourteen people are chosen for a competitive game of Hide-and-Seek in an abandoned amusement park that is more like a labyrinth – the winner promised $50,000.
