WILL HAUNT YOU by Brian Kirk, published by Flame Tree Press (2019).
Make no mistake, this book is not for the faint of heart and its all the better for it. I was craving something straight from a nightmare to rattle me and scare the goosebumps right off my skin and Brian Kirk certainty delivered with his terrifying tale of a book of death.
In other books, I earlier deemed March 2019, to be my Miriam Black March Madness Month - the plan was to reread the first 3 books in the series before delving into the second 3 which were waiting patiently on my tbr shelf. Despite my good intentions, things didn't quite work out but I did manage to reread the first 3 books in Blackbirds, Mockingbird, and The Cormorant, all 5-star reads and a hell of a lot of fun, perhaps even more-so the second time around.
Perhaps the most surprising (in a very pleasant way) book I read in March was the incredible sci-fi novel by Charlie Jane Anders, The City in the Middle of the Night published by Titan Books (2019). Not since 2018's Blackfish City by Sam J Miller has a novel captured my imagination and enveloped me in a complete shroud of the other worldly as The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders by virtue of its intricate and epic world building.
Other notable reads included a Paperback from Hell, The Sphinx by horror grand-master Graham Masteron, A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay, and an Australia dystopian novel by Marlee Jane Ward, Prisoncorp, published by Seizure (2019).
