Bark At The Ghouls

Just in case you haven't heard of this one, I decided to post a retro review 😀 I reread this in 2017 or around then, I think. My GR dates are all out of wack since they did that facelift ages ago. Anyhow, I never did get around to posting it here so here it is. About the Book It by Stephen King Released September 1986 Source: Library Borrow Goodreads  | Amazon Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real. They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made twenty-eight years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that terrifying summer return as they prepare to once again battle the monster lu...

I thought it might be fun to start looking back in time and seeing what I was reading this time last year and all of the previous years since I started cataloging my reads! I sometimes see people doing this on social media and it's a fun reminder that older reads need loving too . If you're a nerd like me and want to do this please leave me a link to your post. I'd love to see it! November 2018 Week 2 "Who needs a little demon in their life? Or body?! The unabridged audio contains two excellent connected stories of demonic possession. One is a novella that sets the scene for the novel to follow. You’ll want to read/listen to them back to back because they’re both horrifyingly hard to put down." 4 ★'s November 2017 " A rich guy offers to pay a group of people to stay a few nights in a haunted house to prove there is life after death. All previous attempts to do such a stupid thing at this particular house have ended v...

July/August/September Mini Reviews Because I am nothing if not lazy! Here's a bunch of other stuff I've read recently(ish).  This post as been kicking around in my drafts since early summer. They're mostly audio and I often get lazy with my audio reviews because my memory is not good and I really should take notes but that would require me to do so while I'm driving or cooking or walking the dog and that's just not going to happen unless I grow another arm and eyeballs on the back of my head. Lock Every Door by Riley Sager I listened to this book on audio and it kept my attention, kept me guessing, had a lovely creepy-vibe and perfectly drawn setting and characters who didn't annoy me. I liked the main character a lot and recommend it to anyone looking for a thriller with some chills thrown in. It would make an amazing film. This is not a real review. Sorry it has been a lonnng week and I did not take notes and my brain is full of nonsense and w...

I can take or leave Elevation but the bonus story featuring a dog named Laurie? I could listen to that for days. Elevation by Stephen King Audiobook   Dark Fiction , 3 1/2 Hours Released October 2018 Goodreads  | Buy A Copy Here   Stephen King reads his latest novel—plus a bonus story, “Laurie,” unavailable in book form! Although Scott Carey doesn’t look any different, he’s been steadily losing weight. There are a couple of other odd things, too. He weighs the same in his clothes and out of them, no matter how heavy they are. Scott doesn’t want to be poked and prodded. He mostly just wants someone else to know, and he trusts Doctor Bob Ellis. In the small town of Castle Rock, the setting of many of King’s most iconic stories, Scott is engaged in a low grade—but escalating—battle with the lesbians next door whose dog regularly drops his business on Scott’s lawn. One of the women is friendly; the other, cold as ice. Both are trying to launch a new restauran...
