Home of Lydia’s Books and horror writer Lydia Peever

I am Lydia; a Canadian horror author and reader who explores the most beautiful and diverse genre: horror. From classic to modern books, and often splatterpunk and extreme novels, I read horror almost exclusively and share it with you on my YouTube show Typical Books, or here in written reviews. Take my quick course on the horror genre, “Degrees of Horror Fiction” as a guide for writers new to the genre. You can find the slideshow for that course here: Peever-Writing-Horror

I curate the HWA new releases page and scour book lists for the best horror coming out each month. Check out the New Horror page here for something new to read!
