An Anthology to die for!

A woman is working at a Gas Station alone when a Serial Killer is on the loose. A balding man goes to extreme lengths to grow his locks. A man has an Eye Transplant... but whose Eye did he get? Skin crawling tales all directed and introduced by a (dead) John Carpenter. Tobe Hooper as a Co-Director. It's a Horror fans wet dream... and best (yes, best) nightmare!

Oh. My. Days... This Anthology is absolutely amazing! I loved every story (each one had a fantastic twist), I adored the John Carpenter moments (his moments were actually my favourite part of the Anthology) and there are some Horror-glitterati cast members who are just the Cherry on top of an ass-kicking, scream inducing Cake. It really captures the wierd and wonderful of Horror and it's one of the best Anthologies I've ever seen. I just wish it would get a decent UK release... so I could watch it everyday!!

Book Rating

This is the final book for the trilogy of The Folk of the Air series.

I adored this book, and struggled to put it down; the culmination of a very fast paced series that delivers.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who preferred Arya's story arc in Game of Thrones but with more magic, intrigue, and scheming oh so many schemes.

Holly has built a beautiful world, that is absolutely intoxicating, and I will honestly ache for more to come from this series.

I also appreciate this book so much for the strong female characters, there were some really subtle and nuanced details that I don't believe a male writer could portray, or even think of.
It is vulnerable in a way that I think most will relate to, and might get under your skin 😉but it is not overwhelming or over the top, in fact it is extremely well balanced overall.

Please go and enjoy for yourself ☺

My wife wanted to see this, because she loves Lucy Hale. Having seen parts of it from working in a movie theater, I knew it wasn't goin to be great, but I decided to bite the bullet and rent it.

I'm glad I used the points I accrued from my Redbox rentals instead of spending actual money to see it. It was exactly what I expected, a movie about young, attractive, and utterly milquetoast characters bumbling from scene to scene and a marginally interesting hook for why the bad thing is out to get them.

The acting is fine, and it's not terrible visually, but this movie lacks any kind of soul. Just your basic Friday night junk food horror flick. And don't get me wrong, I love junk food. But it's the difference between potato skins from TGIFridays and those terrible TGIFridays potat skin flavored chips.

Of course, my wife loved it.
