Hey, there! Lindsey Goddard here! I just finished a book, and my first thought was, “That was so weird, it deserves a spot on Weird Wide Web!” Spooky horror writer Matt Brandenburg released a new novel last Spring (…And Out Come the Toys) which blends his lifelong love of Willy Wonka and punk music withContinueContinue reading “…And Out Come the Toys by Matt Brandenburg – a blend of Willy Wonka, Saw, and Five Nights at Freddy’s!”

Wild Spaces by S.L. Coney – Book Review
Wild Spaces by S.L. Coney is a novella set in the wetlands of South Carolina. The story follows a young boy and his dog, Teach. Wild Spaces has a Southern Gothic / Lovecraftian vibe, and I must say, the setting is engulfing. I could feel the ocean breeze on my face and taste the saltContinueContinue reading “Wild Spaces by S.L. Coney – Book Review”

The Real Elizabeth Bathory vs. the Fictional Elizabeth Bathory in Curse of the Blood Witch by Dawn Colclasure
Say the name “Elizabeth Bathory” and most people will conjure images of a woman bathing in bathtubs filled with blood in their minds. Or they might recall watching a documentary exploring the historical scandals surrounding Bathory during her lifetime. And most historians worth their salt will claim that we have it all wrong. Or doContinueContinue reading “The Real Elizabeth Bathory vs. the Fictional Elizabeth Bathory in Curse of the Blood Witch by Dawn Colclasure”

Mexicans on the Moon: Speculative Poetry from a Possible Future is a collection of 50 poems, released last September through Space Cowboy Books and written by Pedro Iniguez.

The Elf on the Shelf Beat Krampus, by Nora B. Peevy
I never had the pleasure of being terrorized by The Elf on the Shelf, but just looking at the maniacal grin and pointy hat is enough to give me nightmares. Who wants to think about him creeping around your house, spying on you while you’re sleeping and creating havoc? Nope! Not me! I dugContinueContinue reading “The Elf on the Shelf Beat Krampus, by Nora B. Peevy”
