Pick of the Month [February 2019]

I read 16 books in February which included some fantastic audiobooks such as Sean Doolittle's Kill Monster and one of the best horror novels I've read (listened to) in a long time, The Siren and the Spectre by Jonathan Janz. 

Continuing my love of paperback fiction, I delved into the amazing domestic/Gothic horror that is Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews, along with a Paperback from Hell, in The Tulpa by J.N. Williamson.

Another horror which blew me away, was a novella by Jonathan Janz (an author I've only recently discovered), called Witching Hour Theatre. If you're looking to be scared witless, look no further. This novella will keep you up at night. 

On the crime fiction front, my pick of the month was River of Salt by Dave Warner which blends 1960's mob life with the sandy shores of Australia, an odd combination that works perfectly. For the pulp culture reader, Con Artist by Fred Van Lente is well worth checking out. 

During February I also managed to read a couple of books on my Mount TBR Challenge List in The Perpetrators by Gary Phillips and So Cold The River by Michael Koryta. 

Overall another great month of books and hard to pick just one pick of the month so I'm going with joint winner for February: 

River of Salt by Dave Warner 

The Siren and the Spectre by Jonathan Janz
