Inked in Blood and Memory by Allison Ivy

Recluse Sophie Vanguard’s winter cabin retreat turns ominous when blue flowers mysteriously appear. They’re everywhere. On her front porch, in kitchen cabinets, and even on her pillow. It isn’t long before chilling whispers echo in the halls, and her journal repeats seven unsettling entries.
Enter the bloodied and beautifully eccentric Ly Thi Ren. Though Ren seems familiar, Sophie refuses to believe the girl’s insistence that they are trapped inside a book.
In a land of fiction, truth and lies blur together, clear decisions are marred by doubt, and shared family trauma lurks just below the surface.
Can Ren and Sophie make it out alive? Or will they end up nothing more than words inked in blood and memory?
With elements of gothic horror, splatterpunk, romance, and fantasy, Inked in Blood and Memory is a self-aware LGBTQ+ horror that wraps its clutches around the reader and doesn’t let go.

A Catch In Time: A Macabre Novella & Short Stories by Christopher Alan Broadstone
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – Horror Thriller
Page Count – 206

 A MACABRE THRILLER For Those Who Love POE, Clive BARKER, and The TWILIGHT ZONE.

 

San Antonio Del Tequendama

Cundinamarca, Colombia

November 1938

 

‘My front door is broken, bleeding guts of shadows…’

‘…how do I find new skin…’

‘…among my desolate bones…’

“But this is nothing, right?” whispered Tatiana. “I’m still alive.”

These were her abstract thoughts as she stared like a saucer-eyed cat confronting a deluge––stared into her emerald green eyes in the large, heart-shaped crest-mirror hanging above the vanity table in her bedroom suite at Hotel “Bochica”, Salto del Tequendama.

 

Tatiana Marita Ospina has run away from her forced marriage to an aristocratic philanderer, and sought sanctuary at “Bochica”, a retreat for the rich and famous. The last thing she expected, however, was to discover a convoy of Nazi SS soldiers arriving at the hotel under cover of night, led by Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess.

 

In the darkest hours of the morning, Tatiana’s sleep is disrupted by strange, ghostly music and voices, which grip her imagination and compel her to explore the lower levels of “Bochica”, where she stumbles onto the true secret the hotel has been hiding: the occult mystery behind the rising Axis powers. Openly confronted by this insurmountable horror, she must decide if she can make the sacrifice necessary to accept her role in the secret history of World War II. But will it be destiny or damnation for Tatiana Marita Ospina, as well as for the rest of the world?

 

Weaving together psychological horror and alternative history with theater of the absurd, A CATCH IN TIME marks the triumphant and genre-defying return of dark fantasist Christopher Alan Broadstone following last year’s SUICIDE THE HARD WAY: AND OTHER TALES OF THE INNERZONE.

 

A CATCH IN TIME also includes two short stories from SUICIDE THE HARD WAY––SMILEYS’ GRAVE and ROSEBLOOD––and also “CHAPTER 19” from the novel PUZZLEMAN.

Midnight Falls by John Evans – Review by Michelle Marlow

Midnight FallsMidnight Falls by John (ronin) Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Please make sure you read trigger warnings or look into trigger warnings. Your mental wellbeing is more important. As the cover says small town, and small town indeed. We have all driven through a small town in which we do not feel welcome. This is that story. This story is almost 400 pages as well. It kept my attention and made you physically tense. It also made me turn the light on that stands next to my bed.

Midnight Falls by John Evans – Review by Rita White

What a great time of the year to read this book. Midnight Falls is about werewolves, shifters, monsters, suspense, survival, evil, and a good all-around horror book. It kind of gives off the old 1980s horror vibe. The author has a descriptive way of telling the story that keeps you engaged throughout the whole book and takes you on a wild ride. I liked all of the characters, but I think my favorite character was Josh’s dog Nimrod.

Josh returns home after several disappointments growing up only to find his new home isn’t what it seems. Small towns are always slow to welcome newcomers but this town has it’s own secrets to be discovered. Moving in to a small town 10 years ago we have always had our own outsider experiences so this book is relatable; however, I’m grateful that those lurking in our town aren’t looking at us like a meal. This book was well written and kept me engaged. The vivid details were like watching a horror movie in the middle of the night then trying to sleep!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Josh Blevins had high hopes and big dreams of being a writer, however, when he took his adorable husky and headed off to college at NYU, things didn’t quite go as planned and because of this and other bad luck, he had to head back home. Unfortunately for Josh, he cannot stay with his parents forever and instead ups sticks again and moves to Midnight Falls, another small town to settle into a less busy life.

At first, everything seems to be going well, he finds a job writing for the local paper and makes friends with his neighbours, all while fixing up his rental and meeting a young woman who makes him feel safe. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy to make his acquaintance and he soon becomes caught in the gaze of the local Sheriff and not in a good way. He seems to be the recipient of pranks, side eyes and whispers whenever he visits one of the local premises and gets the feeling that he is being constantly watched, but things soon escalate and secrets which were long buried bubble to the surface.

The town has the usual lack of appreciation of those who are not local, those who are different and those who don’t conform to the norm of a mid-western small town, but these secrets are bloody and dangerous, haunting and beastly and as he becomes more of an outsider than any local should be, the mask starts to slip and Josh begins to see what lies beneath, but what will happen when the town finds out that he suspects what the dark secrets truly are and will he survive long enough to reconcile with it? This is a fantasy horror which leads you down the rabbit hole of small town life and attitudes into the warren of secrets and lies which lie beneath it in this fast paced and gripping tale.

Josh Blevins has come home to Midnight Falls after failing to make his career aspirations come true in New York. This is a small town where everyone knows one another and outsiders aren’t very welcome. Although he grew up in Midnight Falls he is treated as if he had never lived there at all. He befriends his neighbors and even gets himself a girlfriend. One night as things were starting to get steamy for the couple, Josh saw red eyes staring at them through the window and then heard gun shots. Outside was a creature that he had never seen before. What was it? Where did it come from? Midnight Falls holds many secrets and there are people that don’t ever want them to see the light of day. If you’re into spooky this will be right up your alley.

Midnight Falls by John Evans was a uniquely horrifying read. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book, as I am not familiar with this author. I was pleasantly surprised, and drawn in by the authors writing style. The prologue was intense, and set the table for the entire thing, keeping you entertained and on the edge of your seat with every turn of a page. I was genuinely enthralled the deeper I got into this story, and couldn’t help binge reading it. I look forward to seeing more from John Evans in the future!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Josh Blevins is tired of being hunted by creatures out for revenge. He has decided enough is enough and is done running. Before he goes out with a bang, he decides to write his story. We are then transported back to the beginning of the end for Josh.

After he fails at his career plans, Josh decides to move back home. After living in New York in a small apartment, he thinks it is time for him and his trusty husky, Nimrod, to go back to his country roots. He settles into a life in the small town of Midnight Falls. Everything seems calm and dull but in reality, it’s a town filled with secrets.

Being an outsider, Josh has no one he can trust except for Nimrod and a few other outsiders; Lizzie, Joey and Brad. Things start heating up between Josh and Lizzie when Nimrod gets outside and there is a gunfire sound. They come across a creature they have never seen before and it all goes downhill from there.

I was afraid this would not be my jam as I don’t normally read horror (I scare easily) but the cover intrigued me. I am a fan of werewolves and the monsters resemble them. I found the book to be more like a thriller than horror which was perfectly fine by me. The author did an amazing job bringing the characters to life and keeping you on the edge of your seat in anticipation. I also loved the detail the author went into writing Nimrod. He was so goofy and stubborn. It reminded me of my dog who is part husky. She is also a stubborn goofball.

Midnight Falls by John Evans is a great horror book

Josh Blevins reluctantly settles back in his little hometown with his devoted dog by his side following a string of setbacks and blunders during his time in college. Despite feeling like a failure and at a crossroads in his life, he has met new people and even fallen in love. However, the charming exterior of Midnight Falls that he recalled from his youth conceals a malevolent force. One that reaches far deeper and more terrifying depths than the hate that is carved in the streets and festers within the boundaries. Anyone can be a monster hiding behind a façade of friendliness.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.

This was a gripping horror with twists and turns that I couldn’t see coming. It was a very unique read and had me thinking of old horror movies with plenty of jump scares along the way.
The authors writing style is descriptive which really brought the creatures to life for me. As I read you also got to feel the tension, isolation and fear that our main character goes through in this story.
When Josh returns home and settles into a little town called Midnight Falls, he feels he maybe able to start and rebuild his life. However things aren’t that easy.
Right from the start he is treated as an outcast and has the constant feeling of being watched. Of course having a run in with the towns Sheriff and his son didn’t help him any in winning over the town.
But there is something more. Something dark and dangerous that lurks in the town and around the people their. Something that could turn deadly.
Now Josh finds himself in a situation he can’t really understand or comprehend. All he knows is that the towns people aren’t what and who they seem and that by uncovering this secret he may have signed his death warrant. Will he escape the town of Midnight Falls or will his discovery change the course of his life forever.

This story was gripping and I couldn’t put it down. It had everything you would want from a horror read.

This was one of the most intense books I have read in quite a while. It had me on the edge of my seat and cringing in bed at night, I had no clue what could happen next. The setting primarily takes place in one of those spooky old towns where everyone knows everyone else, and if you are an outsider, you are not welcome. The neighbors are all real creepy like they are all out to drive out any who are not a part of some big secret that only those from town know. The things that happened to our main character, Josh, had me looking over my shoulder at night, I was so jumpy at every little noise. I love finding a book that can have such an intense powerful reading experience. John Evans did an amazing job in writing Midnight Falls; I must say I cannot wait to read more of his books. I hope if you are into intense thrillers or horrors then you will give this book a read, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you do. Happy book hunting my friends, I’m on to my next search for another great read!

This book had me from the moment I started reading it. I normally read books rather quickly when they have me like this one did. However, I felt that I needed to take my time with this one. Have you ever thought about the monsters that hide under your bed or in your closet and what you would do if they were to come out and try to get you? If so, this book is definitely for you. I will let you know that this is nothing like anything I have ever read or at least this year anyways. The beginning is very similar to Cujo by Stephen King. It’s spooky and yet feels like you are there with the characters during their moments of concern and whether or not they will get out alive. You will need to read the whole story to find out what happens because that is how this works. I will tell you that you will feel hurt with the characters as they deal with their possible doom.

Midnight Falls is a gripping psychological horror thriller that is full of tension, mystery, intrigue, suspense, danger, and werewolves. It is the first book that I have read by this author, but it certainly will not be the last. I was pulled into the story from the first few pages and the suspense kept me hooked until the end. The story is set in the small town of Midnight Falls and centers around the MC of Josh, who has recently returned to his sleepy little hometown. Instead of finding peace and tranquility he quickly realizes that he cannot trust anyone, that some have deep seated grudges against him, and that something sinister lurks in the shadows. Josh is a relatable character who is battling between his own feelings of inadequacy, feeling like a failure, and confronting his personal inner demons as well as the very real evil that lurks in the shadows. Looking forward to reading more by this talented author!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Midnight Falls is considered a horror suspense story about a man named Josh. Josh was going to school in NY to become a writer and after a handful of missed opportunities decided to return home. Home is in Midnight Falls, a small town where they do not take kind to outsiders. While Josh is not technically an outsider, he is treated as such. He is lost about what he wants to do and where life is going, but what he wants is to be left alone to live with his dog. In a small town, this is not an easy task and he quickly “befriends” his 2 neighbors and the girl down the street, Lizzie. Although he tries to mind his business, there is a group of awful teenagers always trying to cause trouble. After a run-in with one of these boys, the boy ends up dead, and weird things start to happen. Josh, Lizzie, and his neighbors try to understand what is happening in their town and are also trying to decide what to do about it. Does this town really hold such crazy secrets? Can Josh and them save his town from the mystery?
This was probably not one of my favorite horror suspense stories. I didn’t like the main character, I thought Josh was a coward, bitter, and sort of a low life who can’t get his stuff together. There was also a lot of build-up to a not-so-secret suspense story. I thought much of the story I was able to predict what was happening so the suspense wasn’t there for me. The only thing I did not predict was where each of the characters would end up and how open for interpretation some of the ending was.

When life takes a turn for the worst Josh finds his way to a small town where things are not what they seem. Soon Josh discovers the evil that lurks in the shadows.

This is an interesting tale about monsters in the night. Although the storyline is an engaging idea, I found the pacing a bit slow. It was nice to see Josh and his few friends band together to figure everything out. I would have liked to see the supporting characters a bit more fleshed out, as it was the relationship that Josh has with his dog is what made the most impression on this reader.

I wasn’t far into the prologue when I knew I needed to clear my schedule.
The whole time though the first chapters I was on edge, wanting more backstory and yet knowing what was coming because of the prologue. Knowing there would be action made the backstory, at times, painstakingly slow. But I was invested.
I loved seeing Josh and Lizzie getting to know one another. I enjoyed how Joey & Brad bonded with Josh in their own ways, finding reasons to band together to create their own group of outsiders that didn’t necessary belong in town. I was obsessed with Nimrod and his antics, loving every description of him.

“Midnight Falls” is a dark and interesting horror narrative that delves into the chilling world of werewolves, and I found it to be an intriguing read. I have not read any of Jonh’s work before and I was pleasantly surprised. His descriptive words take you into the story and have you easily imagining the scenes he sets.
The story centres around Josh, a disillusioned college student who returns to his quaint hometown. However, upon his arrival, Josh quickly senses an air of malevolence permeating the town, he grapples with feeling like an outcast in his own community, Josh is confronted with the difficult decision of either confronting the looming menace or turning his back on it all.
This book has the feel of horror of old when true horror was around. I wholeheartedly recommend “Midnight Falls” to fellow enthusiasts of the horror genre; it’s a well-crafted and absorbing narrative, and I find myself eagerly anticipating the unravelling of further books.
