My second five star read in a row! Is this really happening?! haha Creature by Hunter Shea Horror Fiction Released September 2018 Goodreads  | Better World Books   The monsters live inside of Kate Woodson. Chronic pain and a host of autoimmune diseases have robbed her of a normal, happy life. Her husband Andrew’s surprise of their dream Maine lake cottage for the summer is the gift of a lifetime. It’s beautiful, remote, idyllic, a place to heal. But they are not alone. Something is in the woods, screeching in the darkness, banging on the house, leaving animals for dead. Just like her body, Kate’s cottage becomes her prison. She and Andrew must fight to survive the creature that lurks in the dead of night. These Are My Thoughts: CREATURE surprised me. I’ve only read one Hunter Shea book, THE JERSEY DEVIL , and that thing was pure madness from beginning to end with its out of control body count and frenetic pace. I was expecting a crazed people eating monster

You can read all of the posts at the  Ladies of Horror Fiction   website. We have another community-wide read planned for February and will be announcing the book very soon. I hope some of you will join us!   New Purchases I was pretty good about not blowing the budget this month (as much as it kills me) but I did purchase the Night Worms package and I'm so glad. Look at all of this Christmas horror goodness! Oops, maybe I did blow the budget after all. I forgot I splurged on the Twitterstone box too . . .  and it was pretty excellent.  And I just want to say that I am so very happy that these two good things arose from th
