Book of the Month [August 2020]

I read some very good books and some very bad books last month with little in between. It was one of those strange periods of reading where I either loved or hated (perhaps that's a too harsh a word - disliked) whatever I picked up. On a positive note, I didn't record a DNF. 

The standouts were all very different from one another, which, as an eclectic reader I appreciated; THE LIBRARY OF THE UNWRITTEN by A.J. Hackwith (fantasy/horror) , THE SOUTHERN BOOK CLUB'S GUIDE TO SLAYING VAMPIRES by Grady Hendrix (horror), and, my choice for this months' book of the month, STALKERS by Eileen Ormsby (true crime). 

STALKERS is a real winner for true crime junkies. Readers of this blog and my reviews on Goodreads, will know that I rated Eileen Ormsby's THE DARKEST WEB very highly so won't be all that surprised by the praise I heaped onto this one:

Dark, disturbing, and near unbelievable - Stalkers by Eileen Ormsby reads like crime fiction at its finest - only it's not. Comprising four stories of seriously creepy stalkers complete with information about each stalkers sub category for added context and insight into the mind of the maddened, author Eileen Ormsby provides a peak behind the curtain of normalcy to showcase a world so twisted it's difficult to comprehend. 

Yeah, it's a good one that's for sure.

Despite my up and down reading month, there was plenty to get excited about. Fingers crossed September's between good and bad reads isn't as big as this months.
