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.

Expect another installment of Women … Continue reading ARC Reviews: Venus in the Blind Spot by Junji Ito and Remina by Junji Ito
This has everything I want in a horror novel. Creepy mansion, lore told in hushed tones, a disturbed protagonist who eats books in secret. She swallows words, prose, and the paper heals her.

Unemployed and bored at home due to the pandemic I've been rotating Hulu and Netflix more than ever. That means constant rewatches of Bob's Burgers, King of the Hill, … Continue reading Book Review: None Shall Sleep by Ellie Marney
I started watching Tokyo Ghoul years back after a suggestion from my cousin but once it got too sad for me I stopped. After reading this I regret that decision completely because this manga is breathtaking.Creepy? Check. Gory? Check. Anxiety inducing. I’ve got my paper bag in hand. The slick artwork and the gorgeous prose … Continue reading ARC Review: Tokyo Ghoul by Sui Ishida
