pickPosting a book review at this moment in time feels stupid and pointless, but I finished a book today, so here we are.
This was crazy, unhinged, and, yes, psycho!
I giggled several times (is there something wrong with me??) during this short, well-narrated audiobook.
pickHow do you even review a book like this? Part of me feels that the less you know going in, the better. The title acts as a trigger warning, I had to pick my jaw up off the floor a couple of times because things did get, for lack of a better word, psychotic.
It caught my eye at the book store and the quirky chapter headings sold me completely (my favourite being "XXVI. Is Fraught with Some Danger, but for Whom, the Reader Must Determine.")
pickThis was . . . different! The name is certainly fitting, because this lady was all kinds of crazy! I listened to the audio and loved how she would just slip some gruesome or outrageous statement into what started out as a normal sentence. I liked the uniqueness of it. I will definitely watch the movie when it comes out.
bailedI had hibernated this book, but I'm not missing reading it, so DNF'ing it instead.
pickShort Review: If you have read this author's books before you know what you are likely in for: a dark, sinuous tale like a snake wrapping itself around you before sinking its fangs into your skin. It didn't quite captivate me as much as the previous books I've read by the author though for some reason. It's a good read but for me it fails to hit the heights of 'The Shape of Darkness' or 'The Silent Companions'. 3.5🌟
pickA low pick but definitely a different read. Some humor, some gore, a bit of creepiness and one weird story. Ms. Notty arrives at Endsor house to care for the Pounds children but she obviously has other intentions. I liked the Victorian aspect of the story and Winifred Notty is one crazy character. I heard there is a movie being made. I‘m definitely interested to see how they adapt this story!!
Virginia Feito's horror/thriller book, "VICTORIAN PSYCHO," is officially getting a movie adaptation!
A24 is developing the adaptation, and Maika Monroe is set to star in the lead role!
When the adaptation was announced, it was revealed that Margaret Qualley was supposed to play the lead role, but she's since been replaced by Maika Monroe!

pickI am certain that had I been assigned this tiny book in Highschool in my senior year, I would have loved it. Here we have a strange tale that is not at all scary, with delightful gothic elements. When betrothed Isabella‘s fiancée is suddenly killed by a mysterious Uber helmet, her (previous) father in law to be tries to force her to marry him. The rest of the night is spent with helpful spirits, skeletons, and the reveal of a secret that⬇️
pickThe Good: great writing, atmospheric setting, unsettling events that left me gritting my teeth, was left wondering what I'd just read
The Bad: was left wondering what I'd just read.
3 or so stars. More like 3.5? Yeah. 3.5 stars.
