I spent a good ten minutes staring at my wall after finishing the final page of Aberration, wondering where reality ended and the 'red' began. Nicholas J. Ripley has delivered an A24-style psychological fever dream that is as much a brutal dissection of the soul as it is a masterclass in visceral body horror. From childhood boogeymen to 'art-as-therapy,' here is my (slightly unhinged) 4.5-skull review of the indie horror you need to be reading right now.

Does The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn still deserve its "classic" status, or is it merely an uncomfortable relic? In this deep-dive analysis, I move past the star ratings to examine why Mark Twain’s satirical masterpiece was never meant to be a children's book. From the grueling "eye dialect" of the Mississippi to the "purposeful discomfort" of its racial themes and the biting critique of Romanticism, we explore why this 142-year-old mirror still reflects the ugly truths of the modern world.

New month, new books! My April reading lineup is a wild mix of gothic horror, indie scares, and cyberpunk dreams. From pulling a title out of my skull cookie jar to letting my husband pick a read, here are the five books I’m hoping to conquer this month.

Can you believe we’re already three months into 2026? Whether time is flying or dragging, it’s officially time for my first Top 3 Books of the Quarter! From cozy solarpunk that moved me to tears to a 5 skull nonfiction collection that nearly broke my ranking rules, these last three months definitely packed a punch. Click through to see which stories made the cut and which ones were the 'weakest link' this month.

I have a confession to make—I’m an em dash junkie. But now, I’m summoning semicolons, colons, parentheses, and more to join the haunted house that is my writing. Come see how punctuation in writing can change everything.

All genres. All hobbies. One grim aesthetic.
