The Quarry Girls by Jess Lourey doesn’t ease you in. It grabs you by the collar and drops you into 1970s Pantown, a town where fear clings to every sidewalk and girls go missing without warning. On the surface, it’s all small-town charm and summer nights. But something’s rotting beneath that perfectly constructed facade, and…
Gregg Dunnett’s Little Ghosts digs deep under the skin and lingers, festering. Months after finishing the book, you’ll still think of this rare thriller, not because it’s loud or over the top, but because it’s rooted in something far more powerful — the emotional wreckage of grief.

I’ve gotten my 2020 Spring Reading List in order and thought now was as good as any time to share it with the world. I just realized the last time I did one of these was in 2019 with My Winter Reading List! Whaaaat? I’ll have to try and update you guys on what I’m…

Well, where most book dragons have already started making a dent in their TBR lists for 2019, I’ve only now finished reading through all the short-list novel submissions for Crystal Lake Publishing… In other words: I’ve read a lot of great books that aren’t on the market yet, but they…
