Dead Girls and Dead Things edited by RJ Roles

 


Here is an anthology of stories by some of Books of Horror’s fabulous women. Each story carries the distinct, amazing voices of these women. There is no way anyone can pick a favorite in this book. Below, I share the synopsis of each story.

One For Sorrow by AJ Mullican. A young lady crosses paths with a crow. A dark and twisted story. A fantastic story to lead us into this anthology. 

The Watcher by Angelique Jordanna. Aja has a stalker who is looking after her. I haven’t read many Jordanna stories, but this one seems different from what I have read. I absolutely think this story is so unique and amazing. 

Admission by Rayne Havok. Avery wants to go to this club and is going to do whatever it takes. Havok always brings her best to her writing. Freaking loved this one!

Living in Sin by Nat Whiston. A woman is grieving her husband’s death. I was blown away by this story. So many twists and turns and the ending was so unexpected.

Stay Awhile by Donna Latham. Lilly has a fascination with death. By now, Latham has put herself on my favorite author’s list. Great writing and storytelling. You never know what to expect from Latham.

In Her Reflection by Tara Losacano. Chelsea has lived a hard life and just wants a break from it all. Wow, this story was unexpected! Totally jaw-dropping.

The Doll’s Revenge by Peggi Boone. James, newly single, is having a hard go of life lately. A fun and quick story, a kind of palette cleanser story. 

Shuffler by Regina Watts. Opal is a young lady trying to survive day-to-day life. I really liked this story, but the ending!!! Ugh… 

Modern Relationships by Natasha Sinclair and Ruthann Jagge. Two women battle over what each other wants and deserves. These two authors are amazing with imagination and expressive writing.

Don’t Look In The Box by Allisha McAdoo. Maria is having a really bad run of luck lately. A dark, twisted, fantastic story to keep your heart rate up!

Good Eatin’ by Judith Sonnet. Ryann is a homeless man that spends the night in the woods. If you’ve read Sonnet, you know it’s a rough story. Highly emotional writing that puts you in the story and gives you everything you need to feel the darkness. Fantastic story.

The Cavity Wall by Michelle von Eschen. A married couple are in mourning and rely heavily on each other for support. A completely unexpected, warped story. I’d love to know how Eschen came up with this story. 

I think every story in this book is a hit. Amazing stories by very talented female authors. RJ knows how to find the stories that give a wide range of emotions. Every single story ranges from dreadful to happiness. It is like RJ makes a list of emotions and checks off each one as he finds the story to fill that feeling. You need this book!!

Intergalactic Exterminators, Inc by Ash Bishop

  Thank you to #NetGalley, #AshBishop, and #VictoryEditing for letting me read and review #IntergalacticExterminatorInc.  Russ and Nina are in need of some financial help and a break from the stress of just trying to live a regular life. Then one day, Russ finds a rare gem in his late grandfather’s book shop. He asks his grandmother about the stone, and she does not know anything about it. She tells Russ to take it to Nina, who might know what it is. Only, Nina has no clue, as well. Thus begins a story unlike any Earthling could imagine. This story gave me many Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy vibes. There is planetary traveling, portals, humor, odd creatures, witty banter and a smidgeon of romance.  If you enjoy the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and need something similar, I highly recommend Intergalactic Exterminators, Inc. There is so much potential for more of this story, I am hoping for a series. I would love to learn more about the Intergalactic Exterminators cre...

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.

  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!
