The Deep by Nick Cutter 5/5 🌊 I didn’t know a book could make me feel like I was drowning on land. This book is claustrophobic and the imagery is gross and I felt the pressure on my skin. Loved it. It reminded me of Abyss meets Event Horizon. Good work. I can’t wait to read Nick Cutter’s other work.

The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell 5/5 🪆 I binged read this in two sessions. I was up until 3am finishing this. I absolutely enjoyed this little ghost story in a gothic setting. I had to look up what a Silent Companion was, and let me tell you what, it was so worth doing before shit hit the fan

Sour Candy by Kealan Patrick Burke 4/5 🍬 I really enjoyed this book. It was short, engaging, and straightforward. Left so much to the imagination, and reminded me to never take candy from a child.

Swipe right ➡️ for increasingly sexier pictures. Rest Stop by Nat Cassidy 3.5/5 gas station hotdogs 🌭 It was a fun short read. I might be super desensitized but it wasn’t THAT gorey to me. Now, it was still fun visualizations. I enjoyed it. Have you read it? 📚🩸 💙

I finished The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones. 3.75/4⭐️ 🩸📚 I liked the themes of revenge and generational trauma mixed with folk lore and superstition. I had to look up the significance of some of the things and I feel like I not only was entertained but also learned a thing or two.

I watched Marshmallow and omg what a pleasant surprise of a movie. I had so much fun watching this with the kids. I had no idea what to expect. At first I was like, okay. Then I was like, 𝘺𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰, then it was like 𝐒𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐓𝐅? then it ended like 𝐎𝐇 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐳𝐳𝐳𝐳 Have you seen it yet? #horrormovies #horror

The Eyes are the Best Part by Monika Kim 👁️👄👁️ Solid 4.5/5 on the optical scale. What a great book! I was pleasantly grossed out and engrossed in the story. I had been eyeballing this for a while and finally bit the bullet and I am so happy I gave in to those deep desires. 🩸📚💙

I finally finished Negative Space by B.R. Yeager It’s a 4/5 ⭐️ for me. It was weird, unique, and the amount of queer representation was cool. The different perspectives of the main characters with the exception of one was a cool way to tell a story.

Just finished watching Ash (2025) on #shudder and I give it a solid 3.5/5 on the bubu scale. I really enjoyed it. I loved the art and visuals. The lighting in this was beautiful. I wanted so much more of the world it was set in though and the story. #horrormovie #horror

The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle was a short but mighty book. A story about how our curiosity can lead us to truths, horrors, and cosmic consequences. I could not put this down. Definitely give this a read if you have not yet. Solid Zig Zag Zig out of 10 👾 🩸📚 💙

All the Fiends of Hell by Adam L.G. Nevill is a solid 4.5/5 for me. I stayed up until 1:30 AM on a work night to finish reading it. I really loved the idea of this type of annihilation to the earth. The feeling of being small and no longer at the top of the food chain. So good. 📚🩸 #horrorlit

I absolutely loved this beautiful movie. The music was great! The story was so cute, and colorful. Me and the kids had such a good time watching this. I cried a few times too. What a good movie about processing grief. 10/10 do recommend to watch with your kids. #overthemoon

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s a creature feature that is heavily character driven. The way I was rooting for and attached to the protagonist was wild. I definitely suggest giving this a read. #horrorbooks #nearthebone 🩸📚

You WTF is this email? From the #deptofedu it would a shame if there were so many false reports sent to EndDEI.ed.gov to overload their systems and make it impossible to determine real of fake ones. It would just be so horrible if we did that #resist #buildtheresistance

Just finished Ghost Stories (2017) I like to rewatch this every once in a while. Definitely for the plot and not Martin Freeman 👀 I love an anthology. Especially one that is not what it seems. #horrormovies #horror
