But I’m a scaredy-cat…
More “dark and creepy” vibes than “you’ll never sleep again”
The Devil Takes You Home
Gabino Iglesias
Published: August 2nd, 2022
Status: Want to Read
I haven’t read Gabino’s work yet, though I do have some of his books on my TBR. He’s such a great guy and a force of good within horror though, so I really do want to get on and read some of his stuff!
Bad Cree

Status: Hadn’t Heard Of
I wasn’t familiar with this one, but it definitely sounds intriguing and one I’d want to check out!
The Haunting of Alejandra
V. Castro
Published: April 18th, 2023
Status: Want to Read
Castro is another writer I’ll read anything by, and I have a few of her books on my TBR, including this one! So I will definitely get to it (eventually!). I have read some of Castro’s work and always enjoyed it, so I doubt this will be an exception.
The Lighthouse Witches
C.J. Cooke
Published: September 30th, 2021
Status: Want to Read
Similar to the other two – an author I want to read, though unlike V. Castro I haven’t yet read C. J. Cooke, though I have a couple of Cooke books on my TBR, including this one. So it’s definitely one on my radar.
This was pretty good – two books already on my TBR, one that I don’t own but have heard of and definitely want to read, and a fourth that completely grabs my attention. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer before I at least get to read the ones I own! Have you read any of these? Did you like them?
