Price Manor: The House That Bleeds by Jamie Stewart

 

Title: Price Manor: The House That Bleeds

Author: Jamie Stewart

Genre: Gothic, Horror

Published: Feb.11, 2022 by Deadline Horror Collective

Other Books in the Price Manor Series

Price Manor: The House That Burns by Mike Salt (Book 1)

Price Manor: The House That Falls by Jay Alexander (Book 3)

 

A small community in rural Russia is rocked when an old gothic manor appears on the shore of a lake. Homes don't just appear from mid-air so Father Alexander Nicholai is sent in to investigate.

This was a really well paced creepy modern take on a gothic haunted house story. The characters in the story were very well developed. The main character Father Alexander Nicholai with his struggles of faith makes a great perspective to follow as he takes on the forces within the house. The house is a great character unto itself with its bleeding walls and sinister intentions.

I have not read the first book in the series, but this story was very easy to follow. I want to go back and read the rest of the story. Will it be an origin story? I must know! 

I would recommend Price Manor: The House That Bleeds to fans of mind-bending haunted house stories with a lot of blood!

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

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.

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

Spin a Black Yarn by Josh Malerman

Title: Spin a Black Yarn Author: Josh Malerman Genre: Horror/Speculative Fiction Published: August 15, 2023 by Random House I received a copy for review through NetGalley.   Spin a Black Yarn is a collection of 5 novellas that have memorable new spins on common genre norms. Malerman takes on a haunted house, a serial killer, space travel, dangers of AI, and revenge. These are very familiar yet his stories are wholly unique and surprising as these themes are turned on their head. These are novellas I will not soon forget. Half the House is Haunted explores a brother and sister's relationship growing up in a house that was half haunted. What does that mean? Which half? 4 stars Argyle follows a dying man's confessions of dark twisted desires that he never acted on. This was really disturbing and effective story despite his lack of actual murder. 5 stars Jupiter Drop is about a man dealing with a tragic accident that decides to take a vacation to Jupiter where he will be able to
