it feels so great knowing that that orange gremlin is no longer going to be our president. much thanks to all the black women who pushed and went out there and rocked the fucking vote. it feels as though a cloud has been lifted and i am beyond the moon.

So sorry about the disjointed posting lately. I started my new job this week and have been busy with that and keeping up with my daughter’s hybrid school schedule. I do want you all to know that just because October is ending doesn’t mean the horror reviews are. Oh no. Expect another installment of Women … Continue reading ARC Reviews: Venus in the Blind Spot by Junji Ito and Remina by Junji Ito

Yes, when done wrong they can be awful, tedious, and worse yet not scary. However when done well? Chef's kiss This is exactly … Continue reading ARC Review: The Lost Village by Camilla Sten

This has been very popular as of late and after reading volume one of the manga I can see why. Shonen can be generic in a way. Hero has a problem, hero has to bulk up to solve said problem, many obstacles in the way, etc. What I love about Demon Slayer is that it … Continue reading Manga Fridays: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba #1 by Koyoharu Gotouge

Death is just one long therapy session. I feel as though I’m standing ankle deep in the ocean and I see a huge wave coming my way but I’m rooted to the spot.I’m unable to run, god help my swimming abilities, all I can do is hope it crests before it hits me fully. Nope, … Continue reading ARC & Black History Month Review: These Ghosts Are Family by Maisy Card
