Why am I not hearing more about this book?!!  The Burning Girls by C.J. Tudor  Released February 2021 Dark Fiction   |   Goodreads   |   Amazon   |  Bookshop An unconventional vicar moves to a remote corner of the English countryside, only to discover a community haunted by death and disappearances both past and present--and intent on keeping its dark secrets--in this explosive, unsettling thriller from acclaimed author C.

Have you read the work of Andrew Cull yet?! The Cockroach King by Andrew Cull Released November 2020 Dark Fiction   |   Goodreads   |   Amazon    “We’d been in the house two weeks when Tommy pulled the first bones from the garden.” When Cassie Baker buys the house on Cedar Street, it’s partly because it reminds her of the house she grew up in in the ‘80s. It reminds her of happier times, when her Mom was still alive, before the cancer had taken her. It seems like the perfect place to raise her baby boy, Sam. That is, until a friend unearths the remains of a dog, buried in a shallow grave in the backyard. After the bones come the cockroaches… The Cockroach King is a new novella written by Andrew Cull, the award-winning author of Remains and Bones. My 2 Cents For Free! A young mother and her toddler move into a new to them home and it should be a happy, exciting time but before long the gardener digs up some bones (ahhhh!) and then cockroaches start showing up
