MotherSuspiria

My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror #books far & wide.

REST STOP by Nat Cassidy is a terrifying tale of "wrong place/wrong time" but it's also a deeply felt response to politics, intolerance, religion, and autonomy. It ponders big questions while it entertainingly unnerves. It sees you, and wonders what kind of person you are, and will be. (Shortwave Publishing)

Paperback of REST STOP by Nat Cassidy. The cover is a tile wall with blood on it. Letters cut out of food wrappers spell out "REST STOP" and a googly eye is in the left corner.

The Cyberpunk Countdown: 10 Essential Genre Reads That Shaped Me

I've read hundreds of books over the years, and when it comes to fiction, I’m often drawn to the immersive, neon-lit worlds of the cyberpunk genre. Growing up, cyberpunk wasn’t just a form of entertainment—it was a lens through which I understood the evolving relationship betw

The book cover for The Cryptic Clue by Amanda Hampson includes the tagline 'Look who's back in hot water' highlighted by a magnifying glass which is making the look and in hot larger in size. The image is a white background with an orange border. To the left there's a dressmaker's dummy with a geometric shift dress on it. Out of a low down pocket on the front of the dress there's a light stick of explosive.

"Beats Expectations [...] Needless to say, I will be reading any further works by this new voice (for me) - and looking into other independent authors."

Don't get me wrong, I love getting a great #review. But one that says it encouraged them to read more #IndieAuthors ? Priceless!

Back of the book with the blurb reading:

If you ask Harold Galahad, he isn’t fit to lead the crew of the half-destroyed cargo spaceship Herald Petrel back home. But nobody asks Harry.
An explosion leaves the ship helplessly floating in space and Harry reliving his own personal nightmare. He doesn’t want to be a captain anymore, and nobody trusts him as captain—least of all himself. The crew behaves strangely, his first officer is less than helpful, and the more he finds out, the more Harry has to challenge his own beliefs. While forced to relive the darkest part of his past, Captain Harold Galahad needs to figure out what happened and find a way back home.

Book cover of the SciFi novel Herald Petrel by Strange Seawolf, depicting Captain Harold Galahad running down a beaten up corridor on a space ship. He looks determined and wears a deranged company uniform with a long, flowing cloak, under his arm he carries a green glowing machine part.

I read I Ship My Rival x Me Vol. 1 by Pepa. Really cute start to a romance between two men who don’t know yet they’re in one. Even if their fans are convinced they’re in love.

Liminal Fiction

Today's review! Another Edge Broken by Anthony Eichenlaub:

"An intriguing tale. Ash is a bit of an unreliable narrator, and not a particularly good sleuth, finding something suspicious in just about everyone she interviews. She's also dealing with trauma from the events of the first book... a fun sci-fi murder mystery that sets up things nicely for the next book to come. Highly recommended."
