pickImagine getting out of your city life to write a new book. Imagine this small town having this perfect cabin for you. It‘s been empty for over a year. There‘s dust everywhere and some weird items up in the attic. Perfect regardless right? Well. What if I told you that cabin wasn‘t left alone for no reason. Highly recommend the unrated version. It‘s more graphic and leaves you with a more bleak outlook.
pickHow much trauma can one room fit? Well. Surprisingly enough to fit a whole 120 page book. This was a short read but for sure a hell of a ride to get through, not one minute made me go “Ugh.” I do recommend. I also have to add, content warning. So be prepared, be very prepared.
pickA short nicely disturbing read. I like my books with shock factors in it and this definitely gave me that. This is one of the hyped up books that lived to the title. I quite enjoyed it and it reminded me of a Japanese book called In the Miso Soup. Dark. 🤘🏻
“But I do think places, like this motel room, I think they hold on to bad things, the way people hold on to memories. Grief. Pain. Disease. Addiction.”
I wonder where this is going…🌚
New book review up! In this episode, I review the infamous extreme horror novel, “Playground“ by Aron Beauregard. Caution, this book is a brutal gross out!

pickThis is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. Pulpy horror with a killer creature that has to be one of the least dangerous threats ever depicted in horror. That was indeed why I was interested in the first place. Even thought this book is bad, I still got a lot out of it and had lots of fun talking about it on the podcast for our month of horror books.

My first thought for dark on day 9 of the #scarathlonphotochallenge was baker.reads my favourite horror book TikTok creator who recommends some Very dark stuff. If anyone is on TikTok and wants some dark recommendations with detailed trigger warnings and thoughtful commentary check him out! #scarathlon #skeletoncrew @Clwojick @StayCurious
pan🌟dipped my toe in extreme horror to see what all@the controversy surrounding this sub-genre is all about. YouTube wars between an author and YouTube reviewer. Well, thank goodness this was short. I love horror, but don‘t need to be grossed out. Nothing scary about it. Cheap thrills. But cool for those that do. Not for me, first and last one.
