Today I want to talk about a critique I see all the time in the horror community. You see it in reviews, Reddit threads, BookTube comments—people asking for recommendations that will finally, actually, really scare them, like there’s one perfect book out there that’ll do the trick.
14 books caught my eye from authors both new and well-loved. Some are form the HWA and some are new to me too! There is a little something for everyone – even romance and space travel – one thing is sure, they are all spooky, ghostly, deadly and dark…
DId the master of modern horror Robert Bloch write for the Devil? What do Brian Keene and H.P. Lovecraft have in common? What is reekly wead anyway? These questions hardly answered and more, this week at Typical Books of Terror.
I had to give a more robust review of At Dark, I Become Loathsome as I was very taken with this book. Did you like it? Have you read it?
So far I’ve read quite a few advance copies. One was a real fit for me with some writing style snags, and one was not a fit at all, but I read it anyway.
14 books caught my eye for the coming month. Two I have review copies lined up for, and one more will hopefully be added to the list…
Victorian Psycho was a book that I noticed while compiling the new release list for February 2025. The yellow colour of the cover jumped out at me with the use of a fitting scalloped font and the oil painted girl’s face.
There are 18 new horror books this month that caught my eye. Some of these covers are truly perfect, and we have everything from collections, gothics, and eco-horror to choose from.
Over the last month I was able to get into a few review copies, a potential Bram Stoker nominee, some of the books on the backward shelf, and plan my reading to come.
I’ve snagged a few – or a dozen – books this past month. From the library book sale, and a used book store I’ve wanted to check out for a while.
Back to regular books! 17 of them! There are quite a few books coming as if there were not enough last month.
Extreme horror books speckled my shelf for years, but now that I put them all together, there is quite the collection!
