As a big fan of
spooky short story collections, I was really looking forward to Autumncrow by
Cameron Chaney, host of the fantastic spooky book recommendation account and
YouTube channel Library Macabre.
This book far surpassed my already high
expectations. The stories are truly unique takes on hallowed horror anchor
points, wonderfully balancing comforting accessibility with genuine
originality. Cameron is an expert of the horror genre, and his writing is crisp
and visceral. A truly impressive debut.
Cameron Chaney, host of Library Macabre, presents seven new tales of All Hallows terror, along with his newly revised novella “There Are Monsters Here," in print for the very first time.
Welcome to Autumncrow Valley, where every night is Halloween. Enjoy your stay! But first, a few words of warning: Stay out of the forest. Never venture out after dark. And don’t stare too long into the shadows . . . you may not like what you see. Have a pleasant visit. We hope it won’t be your last.
Already a huge
Lindsay Currie fan, I jumped at the chance to read It Found Us.
It lived up to
my already sky-high expectations. The wonderfully spooky cover and title are
matched by the story of amateur sleuth Hazel, her brother Den, and friend
Maggie solving the mystery of a fellow student who disappeared while playing
hide and seek in a graveyard.
Authentic and often humorous banter among the trio
brings a welcome lightness to balance the excellent atmospheric creep factor.
Currie excels at creating genuinely scary moments without resorting to gore or
violence. She does creeping dread so well. Fans of high-quality middle grade
fiction with a spooky bent will love this latest title from a truly gifted
author.

So, when she not-so-accidentally overhears her brother Den planning to sneak into the cemetery at night for an epic game of hide-and-seek, she decides to secretly tag along. This seems like…
Writing fresh
epic fantasy is hard. It’s been done by masters like Tolkien, Lewis, and
Brooks, and imitated by many.
In the Kingkiller Chronicles, Patrick Rothfus weaves
a wildly imaginative, complex world that is grounded in earthy reality and
incredibly developed without being confusing. Kvothe is one of my favorite
literary characters, at once noble and flawed, heroic and tragic, deep and
humorous.
A masterwork of varied story threads that weave a single beautiful
tapestry.

DAY TWO: THE WISE MAN'S FEAR
"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."
My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me.
So begins a tale told from his own point of view-a story unequaled in fantasy literature. Now in The Wise Man's Fear, Day Two of The Kingkiller Chronicle, an escalating rivalry with a powerful…
The Monsterious series is the ideal read for kids
who can’t get enough of Goosebumps,
Stranger Things, and Five Nights at Freddy’s. Combining
high-concept storytelling with a great hook, readers will love the unexpected,
spine-chilling twists and turns, action and suspense, and creepy mysteries to
unravel in each installment. In The
Snatcher of Raven Hollow, two friends learn that a mysterious monster is
responsible for the disappearance of babies in their small town—but no one
believes them.
