@kimlockhartga@horrorbooks@horror I skipped Fairy Tale. Sad to say King is not an automatic buy for me anymore because his books are expensive and there have been a few that I did not care for at all. The last book I bought by him that I enjoyed was "Later"
I am 4 stories into You Like It Darker and the first one bored me but the next 2 were good. This 4th one is starting to drag on a bit.
@kimlockhartga@horrorbooks@horror I bought a kindle copy of The Institute but still never got around to it yet. Later was not really horror either but it was a good story.
Eight-year-old Bela is the only child in a dysfunctional family full of secrets. Bela has also been keeping her own secret from Mommy and Daddo. She's been talking to an entity that hides in her closet. Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman brought back all of my childhood nightmares. I had to step away from this book more than once because it was scaring me.

I watched Abigail last night and I feel like this has been done before. The titles escape me at the moment but I have seen more than one movie where kidnappers end up finding out that it's not really a child they are holding for ransom. @horror
@biancotitanio@horror Everyone on my facebook friends list is saying how amazing it was so they made me want to watch it. I agree with the reviews you read. I should have read them first lol.
@KentuckyConjurer@horror yes! I was thinking it might have been like an old episode of Tales From The Darkside or Tales From The Crypt but I think you are right that it was an anthology movie not a tv series
📽️ INFESTED (aka VERMINES) was great, creepy-crawly fun. An entertaining movie that's... um... infested with exactly what you expect, and filled with many moments that make you cringe, shudder, or jump.
Not recommended for those with arachnophobia, but heartily recommended for weirdos like me that are excited to be horrified/terrified 😂
The newest issue of my favorite horror magazine Nightmare Abbey is out now. The article on the history of horror comics was enlightening and fun, whether you enjoyed them as a kid or are too young to have lived in those glorious days of perusing through gruesome tales and gory illustrations. As always the short horror stories are the star. The illustrations are awesome too. @horror My review is posted at https://wellwortharead.blogspot.com/2024/04/nightmare-abbey-5-edited-by-tom-english.html
@stina_marie@horror to be honest I didn't care for it. I know he is considered one of the greatest but Ramsey Campbell has always been kind of hit or miss with me. It was not spooky or scary
I love Mastodon but I do wish there were more active peeps here. Other sites seem so transactional. People want to friend me so they can tag me to advertise their own sites, or they want to know how I got ARCs and I tell them and then never hear from them again, Or they just want to complain about other book reviewers or publishers. Anyway if you see this it's probably because you are an awesome person! We need more awesome people here. @horror
@stina_marie@horror I'm not on BlueSky and I deleted my twitter. All I see on Threads are complaints and whining so I don't use it. People on Instagram are so full of "follow trains" all they care about are followers and not genuine conversation. I hate when people follow just to unfollow. I am too old to TIK and I refuse to Tok LOL If I made reels or watched reels all day I'd never have time to read or watch horror.
@stina_marie@horror I just made a bluesky account but none of the interests listed were horror so I'm lost and not following anyone. It suggested I should follow weird Al Yankovic 🤔 😕
@jake@horror@stina_marie I did not know that. But I came here later than everyone else. I was afraid to delete my Twittter at first because I thought I would not get offered ARCs anymore if I didn't have a big following.
