so-soFirst read of 2025 done! This is horror about a woman determined to stay in her dream home that‘s haunted, even when her husband goes missing and her adult daughter unaware of the hauntings comes to visit. This started out strong, but petered off when the haunted house as a metaphor got really heavy handed, and it felt like the author was worried I wouldn‘t Get It. I think I wanted this to lean into the campier aspects more than it did. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a lot of fun with the 2024 book bracket! Thank you to @catsandbooks for the template! 🎉 #bookbracket #2024bookbracket
pickWOW! This book! I don‘t know where to begin. This is certainly not your typical haunted house tale. And I really didn‘t expect to laugh hysterically at the end. That being said, this is not at all a funny book. It‘s horrifying and gory and bloody and mystifying. Unreliable narrator is an understatement and actually does the narrator a disservice. You‘ll have to read it to find out for yourself what is real and what is reality.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yesterday I talked about my most disappointing reads of 2024 now let‘s talk about my favorite reads of the year. I was in a slump most of the year but I did read a few books that I really enjoyed. And apparently 2024 was the year of horror/thrillers.

The tone was a little bit sillier than your usual haunted house tale. The MC has accepted the presence of a slew of ghosts (mostly murdered children, mostly harmless) as the price of living in her dream house. When her husband goes missing, her daughter shows up to investigate, throwing all her careful routines for coexisting with the ghosts into chaos. But … why isn‘t she more curious about her husband‘s whereabouts?
pickI was expecting a traditional haunted house story and got so much more. I had a great time reading this. Just when I thought I knew the direction it was going it would switch up on me. Plus, I loved the tongue in cheek humor thrown in.

I loved this graphic novel, so this serves as a self reminder to read the rest of the volumes! #Dark #WickedWhispers @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
