bookshelves: public-library

Far away from any pain-in-the-arse neighbors within screaming distance, there sits an old farmhouse. Listing slightly to the side, its angles all askew, it has a basement that should be avoided at all costs. The dynamics of the residents living within the house take center stage, and we find the Morrow family to be as skewed as their living quarters. They have always lived off the land, hunting in the nearby woods to put meat on the table. Momma is hollow-eyed and likes knives. Do not get her riled up. Oh, and dinner is always at six.

The more I read from Ania Ahlborn, the better I like her. There is an easy familiarity between her words and the darkness she creates in her novels. If it suits your taste to read a book and be filled with dread, look no further. The tension fraught betwixt and between these pages is thick enough that you could cut it with one of Momma’s knives. Brother will chew you up and not spit you out until the very last page.

Thanks, Jennifer! I read your review and was surprised at just how much you liked it, while not being a major horror fiend. Maybe you'll want to wade on into the genre a bit further?

debra Excellent review Zoey, but is this the one that makes you want to wash your brains when you're done?

Always keep the brain bleach at the ready is what I say, debra. And thank you!
