Sour Cherry by Natalia Theodoridou | Horror Fiction Review

This started out amazing but lost me along the way.  My 2 Cents for Free! Sour Cherry by Natalia Theodoridou Released April 2025 Source: Purchased from local indie bookstore Get it at your local library or see more @  Goodreads Sour Cherry is a retelling of the murderous Bluebeard, he of the penchant for collecting and murdering wives. He's no different here. The story starts out when he's just a "little lord". He's an odd child, whose nails grow at a frightening pace, and he can't seem to fit in with the other children. His wetnurse cares for him when no one else can quite bring themselves to. Is he an evil seed, is he truly cursed or is it the lack of nurturing? We shall never know but as the story goes along any sympathy I was able to dredge up for him was soon lost. The book has some beautiful language, but the story is oddly composed. It takes its time getting started. We get to know Bluebeard as that strange child I mentioned above. This section is a goo...

Review: Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

It didn't break my brain! Dark Matter by Blake Crouch SciFi Thriller Released July 2016 Amazon ♦ Goodreads From the author of the bestselling WAYWARD PINES trilogy, a brilliantly mind-bending science-fiction thriller in which an ordinary man is kidnapped, knocked unconscious—and awakens in a world inexplicably different from the reality he thought he knew. Jason Dessen is walking home through the chilly Chicago streets one night, looking forward to a quiet evening in front of the fireplace with his wife, Daniela, and their son, Charlie—when his reality shatters. It starts with a man in a mask kidnapping him at gunpoint, for reasons Jason can’t begin to fathom—what would anyone want with an ordinary physics professor?—and grows even more terrifying from there, as Jason’s abductor injects him with some unknown drug and watches while he loses consciousness. When Jason awakes, he’s in a lab, strapped to a gurney—and a man he’s never seen before is cheerily telling hi...
