I like reading horror - yet I rarely find it scares me. It's a weird kind of irony, I know. Pet Sematary was never on my radar, but it was suggested to me on Twitter once when I asked what book scared people the most. A lot of people voted for Pet Sematary - and... Continue Reading →

It's been on my mind for ages and though it usually never bothers me at all, these little comments keep gnawing at me. So I'm warning you, this might end up being a Rant©, but... Continue Reading →
