What followed was a story in itself, one that felt new and while it held my interest, I did think it could have been condensed slightly. It had been set us as such and I felt cheated. I wanted the predictable people Vs the house story. On one hand I thought it was genius as it was the last thing I was expecting, but on the other, I felt deflated. I felt like this major twist on the classic haunted house tropes was a double-edged sword. I mean they do head home, but the story is far from over. But really, that’s where the similarities end.Īfter a lot of bickering, some ruffled feathers, and classic haunted house hi-jinks, the writers survive the night and go home. In this perfect-for-Halloween read, four famous horror writers are invited to an infamous haunted house for an unconventional all-night interview with controversial online journalist Wainwright, in what seems to be an homage to the classic film House on a Haunted Hill. I thought it would be a classic haunted house story, and in a way it was, but it was also so different to what I was expecting. Kill Creek has been on my Horror October TBR list for two years running so I’m glad to have finally gotten round to it. Kill Creek // Scott Thomas // October 2017 // Inkshares // Goodreads

Standiford conjures up the majesty and danger of steel manufacturing, the rough-and-tumble of late-nineteenth-century big business, and the fraught relationship of “the world’s richest man” and the ruthless coke magnate to whom he entrusted his companies. Set against the backdrop of the Gilded Age, a time when Horatio Alger preached the gospel of upward mobility and expansionism went hand in hand with optimism, Meet You in Hell is a classic tale of two men who embodied the best and worst of American capitalism. Frick’s reply: “Tell him that I’ll meet him in hell.” Author Les Standiford begins at the bitter end, when the dying Carnegie proposes a final meeting after two decades of separation, probably to ease his conscience. Here is history that reads like fiction: the riveting story of two founding fathers of American industry-Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick-and the bloody steelworkers’ strike that transformed their fabled partnership into a furious rivalry. But as the kingdoms' dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. Poppy has only ever wanted to control her own life, not the lives of others, but now she must choose to either forsake her birthright or seize the gilded crown and become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed.

The combination of sex and violence implied by The Bloody Chamber gestures back to the often gruesome nature of the ancient oral tales that began to enter the literary realm only when they were gathered and recorded by such early folklorists as Charles Perrault and Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Bloody Chamber collects 10 of Angela Carter’s short stories, linked by their common source material, familiar tales from the folk tradition including “Bluebeard,” “Snow White,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Puss in Boots,” and “Little Red Riding Hood.” As the volume’s title suggests, in Carter’s hands these tales often bear little resemblance to the generally tamer versions best known to contemporary readers and moviegoers.
