While author C.J. Dotson freely admits that her hotel horror novel "The Cut" owes a nod to Stephen King's "The Shining," in this exclusive interview, she talks about the other things that inspired and influenced this scary story.

Existential Detective 
Having walked across town from Saint Andrew Square to the Meadows, taking photos in the spring light and shadows, it's time for a seat, ale and a read of Malcolm Devlin's Engines Beneath Us, coming in June from Influx Press
アルディ Enjoying this weekend with a new book on the round!
"The Golem" by Gustav Meyrink [1868-1932].
Based in the Cabalist legend in the Jewish community.
Have high expectations on this book!
Started a new horror trilogy called The Bleed by David Moody, Chris Philbrook, and Mark Tufo. The first book, Rupture, provided some solid basis for a good story: http://nightmodereading.wordpress.com

Awhile back, Premee Mohamed’s “Beneath the Rising” got me into reading horror. Then a few weeks ago, I saw that there's two more books, that it's a series/trilogy?! Yes! Rereading the first before I start on the next two new (to me) books, and it's still wonderful. #HorrorBooks #horror #bookstodon #books #Lovecraftian

In my new interview with author Johanna van Veen, she not only discusses what inspired and influenced her new Gothic horror novel "Blood On Her Tongue," but also how it didn't start out as a vampire tale.

C. M. Rosens · ATTENTION RICKY FANS: New Release!New release: a collection of Ricky-centred short stories, which includes the novella “The Sussex Fretsaw Massacre”.
I've been on a kick to reread some favorite novels. Just finished Head Full of Ghosts, by Paul Tremblay. It was maybe even more amazing on the second read. It's all very ambiguous, and my interpretation of what *actually* happened was the opposite of my last read. Pretty great book if you haven't read it 
If you like your literary fiction with gorgeous prose and more than a touch of horror, grab Lynn Hutchinson Lee's ORIGINS OF DESIRE IN ORCHID FENS. There are just 6 review copies left on Book Sirens!
The book is also currently on Netgalley, till the end of the month.

You know what? Let’s go back to the beginning. To Fear Street #1.
I keep getting thrown with the Columbo/Law & Order: CI openings where a crime is committed by SOMEONE and then the story actually starts, but it’s fine. I like Columbo and I LOVED CI.
I will say that a common critique you’re going to hear from me is a plot driven by poor communication. It’s a pet peeve of mine and just lazy writing. It’s also all OVER the Fear Street series.
Anyway, this book centers around a kid in high school who falls in love with the new girl, Anna. It IS a little strange that none of his friends know who she is, has her in their classes, and everyone that DOES know Anna insists that Anna…
Is dead.
I looked this up on Wikipedia to make sure I remembered the plot since I read this a couple years ago and it says that the boyfriend was convinced she was alive with her “human-like kisses.”
I literally laughed out loud.
Anyway, it turns out “Anna” isn’t Anna at ALL and she’s actually WILLA, Anna’s sister who killed Anna out of jealousy and assumed her identity. There’s a brother, Brad, and he plays a pretty important role. He shoved a girl down some stairs and I think he even killed a cat to stuff in a locker as a warning, but I don’t care about him.
My mind got snagged HARD on the idea that a teenage girl killed her teenage girl sister and just ADOPTED her personality. Where were her parents? Where was Brad? Why had nobody heard of Anna? Why is Willa going to school?
I just think that if you’re going to murder a sibling and assume their identity, high school years are the WORST years to do it.
That said, it was fun to re-read and still way better than Goosebumps.
I’m excited for the next one.
