Damn this book is good. It had popped up into my feed as a recommendation, and after reading the blurb I was in. I’m not going to say much storywise beyond the blurb because it’s wonderful to see how the narrative plays out. I am going to say, I loved the way Moore crafted her…

The Haunting of Velkwood (2024) – Gwendolyn Kiste

The Haunting of Velkwood is an original manner of ghost story. It took me a little while to really get into it, because I kept trying to figure things out a little more in terms of science, spatial and temporal issues of what was happening instead of settling in for a but of a supernatural…
