On the Relevance of The Handmaid’s Tale — A Book Published More Than Three Decades Ago!

The Prose Books set in post-apocalyptic settings usually have an ominous feeling about them. You will start to get that vibe from the very first line. The Handmaid’s Tale (THT) wasn’t different in that regard. Consider the following lines and you will see what I mean: “We slept in what had once been the gymnasium….

What I thought of Payback’s A Witch by Lana Harper

The Lighthouse Witches by C.J. Cooke & Halloween– #madeforeachother

Set on an island in Scotland, this is the story of a single mother and her three daughters. It is also the story of a couple whom time has kept apart. And it is also the story of the women branded witches, imprisoned, mistreated, and then burned at stake. So, you see, The Lighthouse Witches…

Mini-Reviews of Books I Requested Through I Smell Sheep June-July 2021

The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix A most compelling tale about women who survive horrifying events and what happens to them once they stop being the latest story. Whatever you’d expect from a slasher flick, such as characters who don’t die even after grievous hurt, prolonged confrontations, a lot of gore and bodies, you’ll…

A Wrap-Up of the Books I Read in March 2021

The Other Mother by Matthew Dicks I requested this book on Netgalley and I’m so glad I did! Even though the title brings Gaiman’s Coraline to mind, this book isn’t horror. The protagonist has Capgras Syndrome and thinks his mother has been replaced by an imposter. First of all, a very unique premise and one that…

Wringo Ink. Short Story for the Genre Sci-Fi: Aging Joints

The wheels squeaked every time she moved. Bending over to pick something off the ground wasn’t even possible anymore! Her head swiveled to get a better look at her surroundings. Old crappy shit met her eyes, no matter which direction she turned to look in. Discarded like so much garbage, she thought. “Just look at…
