In the fictional novel Zombie, Joyce Carol Oates tells the story of a serial killer with a

very twisted obsession. The main character, who calls himself Q_ P_, is a seemingly average

thirty-one-year-old male from a well-to-do family that attends college; however, beneath the

surface, he is a convicted sex offender who dreams of possessing an utterly subservient dark,

strong man. To accomplish this dream, he spends the book experimenting with different

When Agnes Petrella sells her grandmother’s apple peeler online, she is convinced that

no one will buy it. Soon, a woman by the name of Zoe Cross decides to buy the artifact. After a

few messages, Zoe gives money to Agnes for her rent. Agnes, shocked by surprise, will do

anything to pay Zoe back for her kindness. The two start messaging each other in a chat room

and all seems to be going well. However, the two soon begin a controversial relationship, where

A gorgeously written yet slightly disappointing horror story, Ryan La

Sala’s The Honeys excels at prose and descriptive language but falls

flat at pacing. Mars is a genderfluid teenager who is trying to cope with

the terrifying death of their twin sister, Caroline. In an attempt to

decipher the circumstances around her death, Mars decides to return to

It Looks Like Us by Alison Ames is a modern retelling of the horror

classic, The Thing, yet it still manages to feel as fresh and biting as

its predecessors. The story, similar to the 1982 film, takes place in the

Antarctic and is centered around a research team who come in contact with

a shapeshifting, otherworldly monster. A group consisting of five

In the weird fiction novel The Dunwich Horror, H.P. Lovecraft details the blasphemous

occurrences that resulted in an incident known as The Dunwich Horror. The travesty began with

“hideous screams” that signaled the birth of Wilbur Whateley, a brilliant but grotesque child

(Lovecraft 143). Wilbur, alongside his grandfather, took part in strange rituals that caused the

hills to shake and inspired hatred and fear in living. However, his search for blasphemous

Adri is perfectly on track to become the lawyer that her parents have always wanted her to

become. Through academic excellence, hard work, and sacrifice, a summer internship represents

the final bridge between her and her parents’ dreams. The problem is, she wants nothing more

than to get away from the internship, especially when she gets the opportunity of a lifetime.

Like all the other Screams, the 2022 version definitely lives up to the hype with tons of humor

and scary moments to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat. Not to mention, Actors: Neve

Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette returning to their iconic roles in Scream to deliver

another great sequel. That being said, nothing beats the 1996 Scream nor its originality, as I

wouldn’t say Scream 5 was necessarily needed but cool nonetheless.

This is about a girl named Barbra Gordan. She was shot and is paralyzed from her hips down. She is admitted into a rehab facility which is pretty suspicious. She can hear voices in the walls and once patients start going missing she starts investigating.

Recommendation:

Rating: 3 My rating for this book is a 3 because the book was very detailed and the plot line was really focused and detailed. Also, it did not have much happening for the first few chapters.

Wilder Girls, the debut novel of Rory Power, is the horror story of best friends Hetty, Byatt, and Reese. They have been stuck in Raxter, the island in which their school for girls is on, for eighteen months, quarantined and away from the world because of the Tox, the deadly disease that has claimed the lives of teachers and students alike. The Tox, though, gives surprising but strange abilities to the girls that do survive it, as well as gruesome liabilities. Double heartbeats, gills, second spines.
