Book Review: GHOST STATION by S.A. Barnes

Daniel Haeusser / April 25, 2024

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

Daniel Haeusser / April 15, 2024

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

Daniel Haeusser / March 11, 2024

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.
