Bloodlines: Anthology Review
Stolen Tongues: Novel Review
Obviously modern authors face a difficulty when it comes to representing cultures that aren't their own. And obviously I don't expect Caucasian authors to only write white characters (and I am not assuming Blackwell's ethnicity, but he does say that he is non-Native in his afterword) because that's not the solution either. But making sure you represent a different culture and race correctly and fairly is important and, to me, Blackwell missed the mark.
The Boatman’s Daughter: Novel Review
This book swept me away. The suspense was as heavy as the atmosphere, the prose as beautiful as the winding rivers, the horror as gut-wrenching as the struggles of Miranda against the men in the town who want to control her.

Trick ‘r Treat: Movie Review
Trick 'r Treat is an amazingly fun horror comedy anthology film -- perfect for the Halloween season!
Catherine House: Novel Review
Catherine House is Gothic, atmospheric novel with a Poe-esque rotted decadence that seems to choke the reader as much as it does Ines.
No One Gets Out Alive: Movie Review
No One Gets Out Alive follows a standard formula of jump scares, ominous nightly appearances, and a sense of isolation for the protagonist as well as a nice ending that ties everything up in a spooky bow.
The Rules of the Road: Book Review
The Rules of the Road perfectly captures that lonely and sometimes creepy vibe one experiences when they are on a long, long drive in the nondescript areas of America.
