This month I read a total of 9 books and talk about a few more. Here are some small reviews of:
The Summer I Died by Ryan C. Thomas https://amzn.to/3H1cq9a
North American Lake Monsters by Nathan Ballingrud https://amzn.to/3F0IY2t
and Scurry by Seann Barbour https://amzn.to/4dnRJ32
This is the first month I’ve used the tracker I am slowloy tugging into shape, and it shows the 25 books I’ve read, the stats like page count and genre, and even star ratings which I usually don’t give publicly. There is more work to do with the tracker, and going forward I’ll be sure to read the numbers out too! I realize lots of people listen along on the podcast but may not see the image, so I’ll keep a copy of the screen cap here:

Also, the essay I spoke of is in T.E.D. Klein’s book Providence After Dark and Other Writings https://amzn.to/45hYtgV

I talk horror books; extreme horror, classic, slasher, gothic, and everything in between. Helping you find the next best horror book to read is the goal, and sharing new and old horror from my shelves and new releases is how! Horror, nonfiction and even true crime can be found here as I find that human beings are the scariest thing of all.
