My First Horror Manga

Venus in the Blind Spot By: Junji Ito My first horror manga! Honestly I think this might be my favorite manga yet. Of all the Junji Ito options I had to start with this one because I find the cover art so striking and that turned out to be a really good approximation of what's... Continue Reading →

The Diviners and the King

The King of Crows By: Libba Bray With this book I've finished five series this year! Which considering how the rest of the year (crap) is going I'm taking that as reading win.

Run away! But doesn't really leave an impact. And the stuff that gets under your skin leaves you unsettled and... Continue Reading →

Follow Me into this Dark & Creepy Cave
