Mine by LM Kaplin



Releases August 10, 2023



If you aren’t familiar with LM Kaplin, you should change that, quickly. If you are looking for an author that can write a story smoothly and can articulate the characters perfectly, then Kaplin is definitely one to check out.



Mine is a story of lonely outcast, Chandler Henricks, who wants nothing more than to have a perfect wife and a perfect life. Chandler takes care of his ailing mother for part of his day, and the rest of his day is spent watching his neighbors. He imagines what their life is like, giving them all a story. Some of them he has watched for so long, he knows quite a lot about their lives. His next-door neighbor, Samantha, is the woman of his dreams. He knows he can be a good husband. He just needs a chance to prove it to her. So, when a chance comes about that he can show her that he loves her the way no one else ever can, he takes the plunge and shows her how much he cares for her. 



LM Kaplin did a superb job in writing a stalker/disturbed story that flows well and keeps you engaged. This isn’t a gory or jump-scare kind of story. This is a horror story of what your neighbor could be capable of. A story of ‘stranger-danger’ that quickly escalates to stalker- in-your-home-and-you-can’t-leave story. The twists and turns, the amount of anguish and anxiety were at a perfect level throughout.



I want to add, if you like vampire stories, he has a fantastic short story collection of vampires (Fang Fiction) that I highly recommend as well as Mine. I eagerly await his next book!

  Thank you #NetGalley and author #LuluMayo for sending me a copy of this fantastic book 101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw!! This is such a cute book! Lulu Mayo teaches us how to draw some of the cutest little cat things. It starts out with a section of using a color wheel. I love the title of one of them "Pawsitively Pretty Pastels". From there on, the author shows up 101 ways to draw a cat. Such as a cat dragon, a mushroom cat, a cat cabbage, and cats drawn as zodiac signs! Even if you don't draw all of the cats, this is definitely a must-have for all cat lovers!

The Trunk by Mia Dalia

  This was a crazy story! It starts out smooth as molasses and then gets all twisted and dark. It’s one of those stories that escalates quickly going all outta left field. Bogdan and his wife buy their first home together and it comes with a basement… with a trunk in the basement. Nothing else is down in the basement but this weird trunk. He doesn’t think too much of it at first. Until he finally decides to open the trunk. Mia Dalia writes fantastic stories. She has quite an imagination to give her stories lots of twists and turns. She told me once that she enjoys psychology and I think she writes with that in mind. Her writing style invokes humanity’s inner demons and pushes the mind to harrowing events. If you are in the mood for a quick horror story with a psychological twist, you need to read The Trunk and Smile So Red by Mia; she will dig into your brain.

The Deading by Nicholas Belardes

 This is genuinely a wonderful story. The Deading is one of the best pieces of literary horror I have read. It guides you through so many emotions and inner demons of all the characters. From the young to the old, The Deading highlights the differences of what age and time can do to change the strengths and compassion of an individual. While priorities are always different when we grow older, the basic need to survive and to be loved… never changes. Belardes reminds us that even though we have faults, we are each unique and have the capabilities to survive difficulties and come out stronger and better.  This is a strong character-driven narrative with some ornithology, creature features, and suspense. Under the watchful eye of the government, a small sea-side town tries to survive an infliction upon them. The people are changing. The once quiet and calm town has become a ruthless and dangerous community. The anxiety and stress of living in this changed town takes a toll on so ...
