(Review) The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
The book wasn't as scary as I hoped it would be. At times I was slightly creeped out but not enough to enjoy it. The ending I felt was rushed and I prefer the ending of the movie to the book. I liked how the book helped enlighten several questions that were left unanswered by the movie, and thus found the book enjoyable in that sense. I would say the book was entertaining and worth the read, but in terms of scare an adrenaline, the movie was better. The scene with the dog and

(Book Review) The Haunting of James Hastings by Christopher Ransom
A psychotic roller coaster. What begins as a seemingly straightforward paranormal tale quickly spirals into something much more complex and unsettling. The opening draws you in with an eerie, supernatural vibe, but the middle hits you with layers of confusion, psychological twists, and moments that make you question everything you thought you understood. By the time you reach the final chapters, there’s a lot to unravel, threads that suddenly snap into place, revelations that

(Review) This Wretched Valley by Jenny Kiefer
I found a full free audiobook of this horror novel on YouTube, I'll link it here: https://youtu.be/JDsqed_AMnE?si=qIYVc9Qvh1eVaIxZ It is beautifully read, the narrator capturing the voices of each character. Definitely worth the listen! The book itself was creepy and tormenting. A forest so haunted it turned the four campers against each other. With horrifying images, and devilish ghosts causing the group to go absolutely insane. Beautifully read, wonderfully written, and ex

The mystery of an unopened door, by Natacha Alexandra Martins
The Mystery of an Unopened Door August, 2024 The door stands silent, cloaked in mystery, an untold story just beyond the wood, tempting your mind with imagined history. The door handle shimmers, inviting. You raise your hand towards it, the heat reflected is striking. It singes your palm, your digits ablaze. You feel gripped by the mystery and the images your mind portrays. You twist the lever, the door gives way. A breath of night escapes the frame, its chill wraps around yo

(Review) The Folcroft Ghosts by Darcy Coates
I have been able to find full audiobooks on YouTube, were you aware they some people often upload full audiobooks to YouTube? It’s great for someone like me who enjoys a good audiobook from time to time and doesn't really want to fund the greedy piece of shit that runs Amazon by subscribing to Audible. I also know there are other audiobook providers but at the money finance is tight and so this new finding is fantastic. Anyways one of the books that I recently heard on YT was

(Book Review) The House Next Door by Darcy Coates
Extremely creepy book full of plot twists. There were moments you thought the book was about to end but then another plot twist would arise and continue, this was something I really enjoyed in the story and had not before experienced. It was extremely haunting and gave me chills through almost every page. I love a good Darcy Coates read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

I finally published my debut poetry anthology - AMA about writing, editing, or self-publishing.
“I would define … the poetry of words as The Rhythmical Creation of Beauty.” Edgar Allan Poe I finally published my first poetry anthology, something I’ve been working on quietly for a few years. It’s filled with pieces about growth, healing, shadows, self-reflection, and those little moments that stay with you longer than they should. For years, my poetry lived in scattered places, such as, in notebooks with bent corners, in phone notes written late at night, on scraps of pa

A reading of a poem from my poetry anthology.
NOTE: This poem is purely sarcastic, a little bit of cynical fun. I hope you enjoy. EXCERPT: " Redecorate my room. Sow my own Halloween costume. Test out a magic shroom. Lose all hope and cave to doom." -From In My Head Space (2025)
