Bookish/Writing Updates

 

Greetings Stack Worms! 


I know it has been a little bit since I've posted or even updated on Goodreads, but lately, I've been a little obsessed with watching Subnautica Playthroughs and a color-by-number game app. Sorry. However, it's only the middle of May I still have time. 

I did get to 2,000 words in my short story that I'm writing. The limit is 5,000. Since there isn't a lot of room in the anthology and a lot of people submitting, I don't think it'll be picked, but I promised myself if I survived my Upper GI that I'd finally do some submissions. 


I did get some new books in! 

- The Monster Club by R. Chetwynd-Hayes 

- The Elementals by Michael McDowell 

- Blackwater: The Complete Saga by Michael McDowell 

- Count Crowley: Reluctant Midnight Monster Hunter by David Dastmalchian (graphic novel) 

- The Ones We're Meant to Find by Joan He


Did y'all hear what happened last weekend with Amazon? Apparently, Amazon Kindle decided that it was going to delete 70 books from an indie publisher. Encyclopocalypse Publications https://twitter.com/EnPocalypsePub tried hard to get themselves unblocked. However, without even giving them a chance to correct what they "supposedly" did wrong, AmazonKDP wouldn't reinstate their account. Until a week and a lot of stink from the horror community later. 

I really wish indie publishers would choose a different company than Amazon to sell through. I don't like giving Jeff Bezos any more money. If I can buy the indie book that I want from another shop that's where I get it from, but sometimes there aren't any other options, sadly.

Hellbound Books' Anthology of Splatterpunk by Various

GREETINGS STACK WORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goodreads says I finished this in a week but it actually only took 4 days. I read Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Why? Because I work the other days and I'm pretty tired after my shift. So, it always looks like I take longer than I actually do. This time I read Hellbound Books' Anthology of Splatterpunk. Again, I thank HBB for providing me the free ebook to review and for partnering with me!  I really love the artwork on this cover! I won't tell you which story it goes with (at least by my guess) because that would be spoiling the story and I haven't warned you about spoilers yet. That would be very rude of me. There are a whopping 24 stories in this anthology. And I like a lot of them I think. Not many two-stars and three out of five means I enjoyed the read. Just like last time this review will be a bit different and probably much longer than usual with 24 stories to go through. But I hope you enjoy. Let's get going!  SPOILERS!...

GREETINGS STACK WORMS!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, my goddess, it's so good to be 'seeing' you all again!! It's good to be back! I know this year has been rough so far and I'm very sorry that we're all having to deal with Trump, Musk, and the fucking morons that live here in the US with me. FML.  Anyway, you're not here to read about real-life shit hitting the fan. You're to read a review about a book that you'd like to know my opinion about...hopefully. For all I know, you could be here to gather enough damning evidence to sell me out to our new regime. Which wouldn't be hard honestly. Either way, you're here and that's exactly what I want. So...win-win? lol Today's review is: Satan Rides Your Daughter: One Hellish Anthology by HellBound Books Before we get into the review here are a few things about me to help with context about my mindset while reading this book. I am not Christian. I am actually a Pagan who happens to follow the Heathen (Nordi...
