In Darkness, Shadows Breathe by Catherine Cavendish

 


Title: In Darkness, Shadows Breathe

Author: Catherine Cavendish

Genre: Psychological Horror

Published: January 19th, 2021 by Flame Tree Press

 

In Darkness, Shadows Breathe by Catherine Cavendish is a psychological horror novel that follows the ghostly haunting of two women, Carol and Nessa. The first part tells Carol's story, and then we follow Nessa's story. They are tormented by an entity that sends them back to Victorian England in a hospital with a dark past.

The time bending entity determined on possessing Carol and Nessa left me chilled. I love the atmosphere and setting of this novel when in Victorian times. This novel was really well written and easy to follow despite the frequent time hopping.

In Darkness, Shadows Breathe is a time-bending horror novel that has plenty of chilling scenes. I recommend this novel to fans of psychological horror.

Thank you to NetGalley and Flame Tree Press for the copy for review. 

 My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars

Boys in the Valley by Philip Fracassi

  Title: Boys in the Valley Author: Philip Fracassi Genre: Religious Horror/ Coming of Age Published: July 11, 2023 by TOR Nightfire  I received a copy for review through NetGalley. It is not easy growing up in a turn of the century group home for boys run by priests like the orphans in this religious horror story. Peter is a 16 year old orphan trying to choose between becoming a priest and being with the girl he loves. The toughest things the boys have to deal with are punishments from overzealous staff and small food rations until one night the sheriff rolls in with someone he believes to be possessed. That is when all hell breaks loose. This was a super scary thrill ride of a novel. The characters were all developed so well. There are characters to love and some to hate, but none are one sided. Well, except the demon who is all evil. The boys have had to deal with so much in their lives and I did not want anything to happen to them. If you cannot handle reading harm coming to ch

Riding the Nightmare by Lisa Tuttle

  Title: Riding the Nightmare Author: Lisa Tuttle Genre: Horror Short Story Collection Published: 8/22/23 by Valancourt Books I received a copy for review through NetGalley.  This new collection from a Lisa Tuttle collects stories previously published between 1986 and 2017 with a new expanded version of 'The Dragon's Bride'. The stories seem to fit together in that they all explore unconventional types of relationships from the female prospective. The plots themselves are varied. Some worked better for me than others. This is a great release from Valancourt Books from this great author of Nest of Nightmares and Familiar Spirit. Ride the Nightmare:   Being second to a man in an open marriage isn't easy. For Tess it brings on a prophetic nightmare.The nightmare imagery is great. 4 stars Bits and Pieces: A woman realizes the men that leave her life leave parts of themselves behind. In the pursuit of creating a perfect man she goes to great lengths to get what she wants.
