"If you leave, you die!" Terminal by Michaelbrent Collings Released April 24, 2019 Dark Fiction   |   Goodreads  | Amazon   Source: Received for Review Consideration All passengers, please prepare for departure… An employee, a cop, and five prisoners; a prisoner, a stowaway, and a madman.

Mostly late-night travelers who want nothing more than to get to their destinations, and employees who want nothing more than to get through the graveyard shift. But when a strange, otherworldly fog rolls in, the night changes to nightmare. Because something hides in the fog. Something powerful. Something strange. Something... inhuman. Soon, those in the terminal have been cut off from the rest of the world. No phones, no computers. Just ten strangers in the terminal... and The Other. The Other is the force in the mist. The Other is the thing that has captured them. And The Other wants to play ...

Twisted by Michaelbrent Collings

Twisted by Michaelbrent Collings The Douglas family just wants to live their lives, and maybe find a bit of happiness. But when the ghost in their home breaks out of a centuries-long sleep, all hope for happiness will die. Because the thing that haunts them is not just evil... It is something much, much worse. Watching them from the shadows. Hungry to start killing once more. And thirsty for the blood of the children, the blood he has so long been denied. The thing that haunts them is not just evil. It is twisted. 3 out of 5, here's why: A couple are anxiously awaiting the birth of their daughter but when she arrives sadness follows in the form of a rare medical condition that will stress them both financially and emotionally. As they’re settling into a new normal, some really bizarre and terrifying things begin to happen and they’re forced to temporarily relocate. But they soon discover they can’t outrun the horror. I can’t put my finger on why this book didn...

The doors are locked, the windows are barred. THERE'S NO WAY OUT. A madman is playing a deadly game with you and your family. A game with no rules, only consequences. So what do you do? Do you run? Do you hide? OR DO YOU DIE? 4 1/2 out of 5, here's why: Things aren’t always what they seem.

Last Week (and the week before)  on the Blog: The Reviews: ♥   The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde ♥   A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness   ♥  Afterage by Yvonne Navarro ♥   The Strain (grosses me out) ♥  Cat Call by Steve Vernon The Other Stuff: ♥   Books from the Backlog: Perfume by Patrick Suskind ♥   Books from the Backlog: Deadly Feasts by Richard Rhodes What We've Been Up To  We've been doing yard work (ugh) and cleaning the basement/garage in preparation for our next phase of home improvements (maybe a library, eventually!) so there's been no searching for fun old horror novels lately.  Maybe I can talk him into it this weekend . . . So, zero books found :( But I did manage to sneak into Goodwill on my way home from work the other day and found this ...
