Sinossi
Difficile la vita di Patricia Campbell: divisa tra un marito troppo impegnato col lavoro, i figli e l'anziana suocera, la sua unica oasi felice è un gruppo di lettura di libri true crime. Un giorno al gruppo si unisce James Harris, bello, misterioso e sensibile, che fa sentire alla donna cose ormai non provate da anni. Eppure c'è qualcosa di strano in lui: non ha un conto in banca, non esce durante il giorno e la suocera di Patricia sostiene di averlo conosciuto da ragazza. Quando alcuni bambini scompaiono senza che la polizia faccia nulla, Patricia e le amiche sospettano che James sia un serial killer. Sono loro ad aver letto troppi libri true crime o quello che si aggira nelle loro case è un mostro vero?

Someone needs to stop my fingers from adding the entire author's collection to my nearly collapsing Mount TBR, but I can't stop with just one book. Can I? They' Leggi tutto
I know I shouldn't judge a book by its title, but The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires got me real good. It sounds like a fun, lighthearted take on slaying vampires, mixed in with some Southern hospitality and book club joviality. And it started out that way. But then it went somewhere Leggi tutto
A stylistic and fun horror book with lots of gnarly scenes. I like that we get to focus on housewives, especially since they are often underestimated and would definitely be experts in cleaning up blood and other messes. The antagonist is the most deplorable villain I’ve read all year with extremely Leggi tutto
I really think that Grady Hendrix has written his best book yet, and he did it all while dressed as a penguin. Not a lot of people know this, but in the two years it took him to write SOUTHERN BOOK CLUB he wore the exact same penguin costume every day while he wrote.
