The Southern Book Club’s Guide To Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

Whoo-wee—what a wild ride! Are you in a reading slump? This book will give you a jolt! Creepy, funny, gory, disgusting—loved it! At times I found myself cringing while laughing out loud at the same time. Glad our book club stepped outside of our usual reading genre and took a chance on this one! –Annette, …

Leech by Hiron Ennes

This book has one of the most fascinating narrators I’ve ever read: a multi-conscious, all-knowing parasite posing as the world’s doctors in order to keep its human hosts alive. One such doctor is sent to an old chateau to care for the ills of a decrepit local despot and his family. This post-post-apocalyptic novel is a ton of fun with plenty …

The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward

This is a horror book that will pull you and won’t let you go until long after you finish it. This story has so much heart, empathy and compassion. Not to mention a quirky POV from a very religious cat named Olivia. If you’re new to the horror genre, this is a good place to …

This was one of my favorite reads of last year. There’s southern housewife hospitality, a true crime book club, and a handsome new neighbor who appears overnight. Filled with some suspense/horror this book is a great read to get yourself out of your reading rut or to switch it up to something out of those …

Barrett of Olympia, a filmmaker, fantasy writer, and OLY ARTS contributor, is launching the book with an online reading and talk at …
