Book Review: GHOST STATION by S.A. Barnes

Cover of Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes, featuring someone in a spacesuit in a dark corridor with blood on the floor.

The novel is a good split between the two genres, though with a more overt presence and vibe of science fiction. I would predict it would be more readily enjoyed by general fans of science fiction that aren’t too into horror compared to the converse.

Book Review: DIAVOLA by Jennifer Thorne

Cover of Diavola, by Jennifer Thorne. Features a woman with a distorted, misty face, blonde hair, and an off-the-shoulder red dress, reading a book. Tagline: "Welcome to Villa Taccola. She's been waiting for you."

Diavola is interesting as a gothic horror through the inclusion of modern-day family vacation chaos and emotion. But it also follows a unique path from the setup and haunting and predictable responses to an original take on consequences and after-effects.

Book Review: THE HAUNTING OF VELKWOOD by Gwendolyn Kiste

Cover of The Haunting of Velkwood by Gwendolyn Kiste. Features a person standing abovfe a lake that reflects two people, at sunset or sunrise.

The Haunting of Velkwood is an interesting take on the haunted house trope, one that blurs the lines between who are the living and who are the ghosts and expands the supernatural milieu from a building or property to an entire community block.
