Book Reviews

Sinister murders and devil worshipping family members; just another day in the life of the Day family.

The final book in Baer’s Phineas Poe series, about an ex-cop taking on the violent world around him.

One of my favourite horror books. The Hellbound Heart is gruesome, gritty, and oh so enjoyable.

Grenouille recognises that each individual has their own human scent. He begins to lusts for the perfect scent; not only one that will make him more human but a smell that will give him total power.

The End of the Affair is an extraordinary book that deals with the emotions brought on by the feeling of love, and the falling out of love. These are two polarising emotions that can either drive us forward or halt us in our tracks.

In Japan, Minato, has been given the moniker, ‘the Queen of Iyamisu’, meaning eww mystery. Iyamisu is a sub-genre of crime fiction that focuses on the dark and grotesque side of human nature.

Anyone who’s read this book will see why Thompson has such a cult following, and I don’t mean that as a backhanded compliment.

The Wasp Factory comes from Frank’s invention of a house of mirrors, except instead of it being a fun room, it’s a torture device.
