Netgalley

I just visited Netgalley on my break to update something real quick-like. After browsing just one of my favorite genres, I've come to the realization that I just "accidentally on purpose" requested six more books.  Uh oh. That place is a danger zone.

See you tomorrow . . .

Dark Is When the Devil Comes by Daisy Pearce | Horror Fiction Audiobook Review

Image
This was great on audio. My 2 Cents for Free! Dark Is When the Devil Comes by Daisy Pearce Released April 2026 Source: Netgalley See more @ Goodreads I listened to Dark Is When the Devil Comes on audio over two days in broad daylight, and surprisingly it really creeped me out. Most books leave me feeling eh when it comes to the creeping dread but this one did get under my skin a few times. The narrator did a fantastic job with the characters too; expressing their fear, anxiety, bitchiness and sometimes confusion about events past and present. A meh narrator can break a book like this but in this case the narration enhances the story perfectly. This is one of those books that is best going into blind. Even the blurb here is vague about events. Too many of them lately compare everything to something else and/or give it all away and I’m so glad this one didn’t so I won’t either. So all I’ll say is this: Hazel returns to her childhood home and attempts to reconnect with her estranged siste...

Stranglehold by Jack Ketchum Review

Image
This a Jack Ketchum story and like all of his stuff, it is rough to read. Stranglehold by Jack Ketchum , narrated by Chet Williamson Horror Fiction Released April 2011 Amazon  |  Goodreads  | Better World Books   Lydia McCloud meets Arthur Danse at a wedding party in Plymouth, N.H., and she thinks he's a man she could grow to love. Arthur sees things differently. In Lydia, he sees the sort of woman people always want to protect. He decides he's going to show her she wouldn't always be protected. Once their only child, Robert, is born, Arthur's behavior worsens. When the courts become involved, the nightmare really begins. This scathing novel is an indictment of a justice system that makes a mockery of its very name. My Thoughts: Ketchum throws you down into the muck that is the worst of humanity, pins you there and rubs your face in it. If you haven’t read him before you should know this before jumping in. Stranglehold takes an unflinching lo...
