Writing Challenge Day 1
It’s day one of my annual writing challenge! Today’s prompt: “a story about something spooky that hides in the piles of raked leaves that you see in autumn. It can somehow move between piles of leaves without being seen. “
Interview: Posthaste Manor
Today on PLM Talks, I chat with Jolie Toomajan and Carson Winter about their cowritten haunted house book Posthaste Manor — out October 18th.
Posthaste Manor: Novel Review
Posthaste Manor was a wild, beautifully bizarre book. It was like touring the house myself, with a dark and mysterious guide, learning its secrets and shivering.
Edenville: Novel Review
With deliciously balanced parts of horror and humour, I couldn’t put it down and loved drowning in the vibrant lore Rebelein built around Edenville and its inhabitants.
A Haunting in Venice: Movie Review
The movie hit predictable plot points — the séance hinting that the ghost didn’t die of natural causes, murder, suspicions, the eventual reveal — but I still had a lot of fun!
Pre-Approved for Haunting: Collection Review
Barb puts a lot of care in every tale, in the table of contents order, and themes throughout creating a delicious shivery read for the coming spooky season.
Werewolves Within: Movie Review
I felt like the horror and comedy was a little underdone. It didn’t make me laugh out loud, though I was amused at many scenes, nor did the horror give me any chills. So I guess it wasn’t that amazing of a whodunnit, but it was still a fun movie to have for a night in.
Talk To Me: Movie Review
The plot was well paced, the atmosphere/suspense well done, and the gore effective. I was entertained the whole film and left really happy, so I definitely would recommend this film to my fellow horror fans.
The Last Astronaut: Book Review
Wellington’s prose is very direct and compelling, his characters are diverse, his scenes cinematic, and the horror within the alien object? Well, I won’t spoil anything. I will say that the suspense/horror ramp up at light-speed, culminating in an deliciously insane ending.

Collage Macabre: Anthology Review
Collage Macabre is a literary gallery of tales written by talented authors whose brushes drip with the most vivid hues of alizarin weird, cadmium despair, titanium tragedy, and cerulean terror. Horror aesthetes should not hesitate to procure a copy of this beautifully decadent anthology of artistic horror.
Interview: Rebecca Harrison
Today on PLM Talks, I chat with Rebecca Harrison about her writing process, inspirations, and her novella, The White Horse.
The White Horse: Book Review
Harrison builds the suspense slowly, through the hostility of the manor’s residents, to the strange local traditions, and strange sightings and sounds — all this leading up to a wild and satisfying end.
