In this video I present 13 of the top picks in horror reading coming out this month. Quite a few would be great reads for fall or late summer too, so take notes; I know I am!
Often, there is a trend or style that is popular, and sometimes it is apparent. This month, there are so many varied covers that are so well done, we have a really good variety of design. And story! There are shorts, novels, gothic, folk and a little gore… all the good stuff.
As mentioned, I reviewed Nowhere Burning by Catriona Ward here: https://youtu.be/siofETaYx58
And the 2015 film Decay is amazing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_(2015_film)

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.
✮ Thank you! ✮
