Wake Up and Open Your Eyes (2025)
Clay McLeod Chapman
"Wake Up and Open Your Eyes is the scariest book I have read in years. It's a book for our times and I can't stop thinking about it."

Guillotine (2024)
Delilah S Dawson
"Guillotine is a tight thrill ride of horror you can't put down."

The Daughters of Block Island (2023)
Christa Carmen
"I have been a Christa Carmen fan since reading her collection, Something Borrowed, Something Blood-Soaked. I knew she could tell a hell of a short story and her novel, The Daughters of Block Island, does not disappoint. The mystery leaves the reader feeling like they are trying to escape a twisted haunted dollhouse without knowing what is real or imagined. Lovers of gothic fiction should pick up this book that contains a wealth of nods to the genre, but also discusses personal horrors like addiction, abuse, and mental health."
