“The dead don’t walk. Except, sometimes, when they do.”
I think it’s safe to say that I will never look at mushrooms the same way again after reading What Moves The Dead by T. Kingfisher. Fungal horror has always been a favourite sub-genre of mine. It’s weird and creepy and somewhat believable, given how often people interact with and eat mushrooms. And what happens in this story is absolutely bone-chilling.

I always have a hard time with fantasy books (the worldbuilding can be intimidating) so I was hesitant to start this one. A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft is a standalone novel that transported me to a magical version of the Pacific Northwest.

Between the ages of roughly 6–16, I would tell anyone who would listen that when I grew up, I wanted to marine biologist. Not just any marine biologist, but one who was an expert on orcas. If you don’t believe me you can ask my Mom, and she’ll show you pictures of my bed sheets, wallpaper, and birthday cakes over the years, all covered in killer whales😅

“Horror’s not a symptom, it’s a love affair.”
My Heart is a Chainsaw was my third book by Stephen Graham Jones and dare I say my favorite so far? A lot of reviews talks about how this book is the slowest of slow burns, and it is, but in my review I want to talk about how this book made me FEEL.
