Today's ramble is just a bit on the short side, as I wanted to share a little milestone with you guys. Last Sunday, my D&D group celebrated our "Strahdaversary". We have been playing our Curse of Strahd campaign for a year now. Time flies when you are fighting for survival in brutal Barovia. So far, our kill... Continue Reading →
I am so excited about tomorrow! It's Friday the 13th! I know that tomorrow is considered an unlucky day, but I tend to have a lot of good luck. That, and as a diehard fan of the Friday the 13th horror franchise, it's a great excuse to binge-watch the films. For this Read-A-Like, I focused on horror... Continue Reading →
Happy Easter Sunday! I hope you are having a lovely day. My family came over to celebrate over a delicious meal. Hence why this post is late. Sorry about that. No matter how or what you are celebrating, I wish you the best! The Route of Ice and Salt by José Luis Zárate is a gothic... Continue Reading →

It follows the investigations conducted by the Magnus Institute, an organisation devoted to researching sinister supernatural entities and events. It... Continue Reading →

Realising the situation, he was keen to run back down to where he last saw his friends and get them to safety. Provided, of course, that... Continue Reading →
It has been 11 years since Ghostface's last appearance. But after sharping his knife collection and compiling more phone numbers, he is back. I am a sucker for slashers. I, for one, am hyped as hell for this film. While I will concede that I am more of a Friday the 13th kind of gal, Scream has been able... Continue Reading →
Happy Boxing Day! I hope you had a truly special Christmas this year, my family and I sure did. It was lovely to see folk again after the chaos that has been 2021.

Happy Halloween, everyone! Today is the best holiday as far as I am concerned, the spookiest day of the year. I'm planning on having a chill celebration this year, dressing up a bit with some snacks and watching horror movies. I hope however you chose to celebrate tonight, you have a hauntingly good time! Is... Continue Reading →
What is the spooky season, if not an excuse to binge read horror? I am a sucker for Lovecraftian horror. It is easily my favourite subgenre. They often discuss topics such as mental health, humanity and unspeakable evil. Not to mention how many authors these days use the subgenre to discuss real-world issues such as... Continue Reading →
I think I stumbled on a near-perfect Halloween read. Creepy monster? Check. Harvest time festivities with a body count? Check. Autumnal vibes with a hint of nostalgia? Check. Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge is a horror novel set in a backwater town with one hell of an annual tradition. He goes by different names, October Boy,... Continue Reading →
