⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m honestly not quite sure what to say about Morsels by Abe Moss. It’s one of those books that isn’t bad at all — the writing’s solid, the pacing works fine — but for some reason it just feels very… average. “Meh” really sums it up. I didn’t dislike it, but I never felt … Continue reading Decently Readable, But Mostly Meh
I’ve just finished the first draft of my current work-in-progress, a biography-horror hybrid that’s consumed more of my thoughts than I’d like to admit and is sure to consume more. It’s a strange, unsettling project that blurs the boundary between truth and fiction, and somewhere in that blur, I’ve found myself trapped between the two … Continue reading The Ghost of the First Draft: How the Earliest Version of Your Story Haunts All Revisions That Follow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dead Famous by Ben Elton is one of those books that takes a little while to find its rhythm. The opening feels like you’ve been dropped straight into an episode of Big Brother — full of big personalities, forced banter, and that strange mix of boredom and spectacle that reality TV does so well. … Continue reading A Wickedly Funny Murder in the Big House
There is no air here. Only rhythm. My breath matches the pulse of the corridors. My heartbeat echoes through the walls. Every step I take reverberates back at me, delayed, distorted, as though the ship itself were trying to mimic me — or remind me that it no longer needs me to move. I have … Continue reading The Archive – Chapter Seven: Juno
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely loved The Hotel Avocado by Bob Mortimer — it’s one of those books that makes you laugh out loud, grin like an idiot, then unexpectedly tug at your heartstrings. From the very first page, Mortimer’s voice comes through loud and clear: dry, surreal, and oddly comforting. He’s got this rare knack for … Continue reading Warm, Weird, and Wonderfully Mortimer
Ghost of Yōtei launched on 2 October 2025, exclusively for the PlayStation 5. It’s one of those “built for next-gen only” titles — no PS4, no PC (at least not yet) — so you’ll need a PS5 to play it. There’s a lot of love and polish here. The first thing you’ll notice is just … Continue reading A Welcome Return to Japan – Ghost of Yotei (Review)
⭐ I had high hopes for Let’s Split Up by Bill Wood, especially with its promise of a Scooby-Doo meets slasher vibe. Unfortunately, this book is a letdown on almost every front. The writing is painfully simplistic. It reads like a first draft, with clunky dialogue and flat prose. The characters speak in a way … Continue reading Let’s Split Up — And Never Read This Again
She falters. Not in body—she is still moving, still breathing, still reaching for doors that have no edges—but in mind. Every step she takes splinters into a thousand possibilities. Every thought she clutches vanishes the instant she tries to pin it down. She does not see us. She thinks she is alone. She does not … Continue reading The Archive – Chapter Six: ECHO_402
Dying Light: The Beast launched in mid-September 2025 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, and it immediately feels like a homecoming. Stepping back into the role of Kyle Crane is genuinely satisfying—almost like the series finally remembered who its heart belonged to. After the shift in focus in Dying Light 2, having Crane back … Continue reading Crane, Chaos, and Comfortably Familiar Carnage – Dying Light: The Beast (Review)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Eyes Are the Best Part by Monika Kim is one of those books that’s difficult to slot neatly into a single genre. It’s horror, yes, but not in the traditional sense. It’s also a family drama, a cultural study, and a descent into obsession and madness. The story follows Ji-won, a Korean-American woman … Continue reading A Haunting Feast for the Eyes
