    ahhh it makes me so sad that everyone's disappointed by Out There Screaming! i'm pushing it off to January for buzzwordathon so if nothing else, it'll fulfill that lmao
    omfg i searched buzzword books after i commented that first part and was looking into There's No Way I'd Die First and then you held it up lol

      I was soooo sad about Out There Screaming. It’s not very horror forward, so be prepared for more magical realism, sci-fi, fantasy-ish stuff. I think having Jordan Peele’s name attached gave us all expectations that didn’t match.
      Hahaha I need to do buzzwordathon in 2024, I’ve never actually done it. 🙈

    I'm so glad that I just discovered your channel - I really want to get into more horror. Now I'm absolutely dying to read Night's Edge - I loooovee a vampire story and the mother-daughter dynamic sounds really interesting! Also glad to hear you prefer Deathnote, I'm just about to start it!

    It's so sad for me to see you not enjoying the short story collections you're reading when my favorite horror short story collection of all time is over your shoulder, At Home with the Horrors by Sammy Scott. Every story was 4 or 5 stars for me and 10+ months after reading it, I still think of some of these stories all the time.

    I hate reading months where nothing is good or just mediocre! I really liked Hex 😥 but I get it. Also, Children on the Hill and The Drowning Kind are my favorite Jennifer McMahon books! Lol I haven't read Frieda McFadden yet. I need too!

      Right? It’s actually so much worse than hating the books. 😭 I wish I had enjoyed Hex! That’s so funny, I just read her newest and didn’t love that one either. Maybe I actually don’t enjoy Jennifer McMahon. 😅

    I put Thomas Olde Heuvult's new book, Oracle, on my 2024 Anticipated Releases list BUT I didn't realize until after that it's book #2 after Hex. Now hearing your thoughts on Hex I will promptly be taking it off my TBR, one, because I don't want to read Hex first, and two, I also don't want to read about boobs and nipples the whole time. Thank you for mentioning this... so many reviewers leave key stuff like that out of their reviews.

      There’s a second one coming out?!?! Omg I had no idea. Definitely will not be reading that. Of course! I feel like a lot of people would also feel similarly, especially since I know a lot of you have similar reading taste to me! I felt like I had to let you all know!

      Monster is 100% worth the read, it just wasn’t perfect to me! Erased is amazing, less horror though and more mystery/thriller/crime with a time travel aspect! But it’s so intense and has a great storyline.
