A Night Worms Book Party with SLASH by Hunter Shea

What is a Night Worms Book Party? Basically, the Night Worms Review Team is made up of some very creative individuals so every Book Party will probably look different but for Hunter Shea's book SLASH, here's what it looked like:

Chandra's Review- TINFOIL BUTTERFLY by Rachel Eve Moulton

Chandra's Review- TINFOIL BUTTERFLY by Rachel Eve Moulton

A haunting, beautifully written novel about a girl with a torrid past who goes on one journey just to be taken down a different and unexpected path.  How she transverses this path is greatly influenced by Earl, an unusual kid with a tinfoil butterfly mask.

 

When a book is touted as "The Shining meets About a Boy", you tend to have certain expectations walking into the book. ...


Chandra's Review of THE CLASS REUNION by Sean McDonough

Chandra's Review of THE CLASS REUNION by Sean McDonough

Oh, how I do love a good B slasher type movie and this book basically incorporates this feel for me.  I am not a fan of reunions and the two that I’ve been to in my life could’ve maybe used the spark that The Fra brought to this one.

Chandra's Review of Growing Things by Paul Tremblay

I have a love/hate relationship with short story anthologies.  I have GREAT respect for authors who write these as I feel these are harder to write than the full novel as you're putting an entire story together in under 7,500 words.  Those that do it well, do it WELL and those are the ones I like but I'll be honest, it's very few and far between where they get me.  I am one of those who prefer that full novel, or even the extended short story ala novelette/novella.  It's hard to say I...
