I was so excited when Caitlin reached out and asked if I wanted to read her debut book: a collection of short, creepy stories perfect for spooky season. I’ve known Caitlin since university and her penchant for storytelling has always been incredible, so I knew I was in for a treat.

Book Review: Clown in a Cornfield 2: Frendo Lives
I was SO EXCITED when I saw this sequel was coming out because I fucking LOVED the first book (check out my review for it here).

I’ve been chasing the high I felt after reading Small Favors by Erin A. Craig last year ever since I finished that beautifully dreadful prairie Gothic, and I think I’ve finally found something I can compare it to: What We Harvest by Ann Fraistat.
