The Handmaid's Tale

I know I'm late to the party on this one but I finally ditched cable and got the Hulu. I've only watched the first few episodes but this show is so terrifying and very, very frightening in these crazy times. Are the upcoming seasons this good? Will it break me? 



That's all for now. Read some books, watch some bad films and have a relaxing weekend, everyone!

      You do! They're excellent. I've only found a few "meh" but it wasn't due to the writing, the particular storyline didn't appeal to me.

    Ooh lots of good stuff. :) I've only watched the first season of Handmaid's, but you're right. It's so dark and kinda scary given the times!

The Bloody Chamber And Other Stories by Angela Carter | Horror Fiction Review

Hmmmm The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter Released January 1979, 162 pgs Source: Bought with my own $ Goodreads  |  Amazon For the 75th anniversary of her birth, a Deluxe Edition of the master of the literary supernatural’s most celebrated book—featuring a new introduction by Kelly Link Angela Carter was a storytelling sorceress, the literary godmother of Neil Gaiman, David Mitchell, Audrey Niffenegger, J. K. Rowling, Kelly Link, and other contemporary masters of supernatural fiction.

Horror Film Friday Returns with The Other Side of the Door

If you're new here, please know that my film reviews are crap and never to be taken seriously because I do not take notes and my memory is an unreliable thing but if you're okay with that, well, here's another! click on pic to rent/buy it yourownself Laurie from The Walking Dead stars as a suicidal, grieving mom. A terrible accident forced her to make a terrible choice that left her young son dead and she is not coping well. Still-sexy Jeremy Sisto plays the dad who seems to be coping with the death of their little boy by becoming a workaholic. He scours India looking for antiques that he resells for loads of money. At least I think that's what he does. He's seen bringing home an old thing or two and lives in a lovely large home so that's how I came to that conclusion.

Review: Flowers for the Sea by Zin E. Rocklyn

Image
Go get yourself this book! It's out today. Flowers for the Sea by Zin E. Rocklyn Published October 19, 2021 Dark Fiction   |   Goodreads   |   Amazon   |  Bookshop Flowers for the Sea is a dark, dazzling debut novella that reads like Rosemary's Baby by way of Octavia E. Butler. We are a people who do not forget. Survivors from a flooded kingdom struggle alone on an ark. Resources are scant, and ravenous beasts circle. Their fangs are sharp. Among the refugees is Iraxi: ostracized, despised, and a commoner who refused a prince, she’s pregnant with a child that might be more than human. Her fate may be darker and more powerful than she can imagine. Zin E. Rocklyn’s extraordinary debut is a lush, gothic fantasy about the prices we pay and the vengeance we seek. My 2 Cents For Free! If you follow the bookish people on social media, I bet you’ve seen people praising this book here, there, and everywhere. There’s a reason fo...
