Book Mail

I have missed being able to use this gif! Maybe I need to start doing more book mail posts as an excuse to use it more. Anyway, so I've been eyeing a book box for about a year going back and forth about whether or not I wanted to sign up for it. Every month the boxes looked amazing, I've been wanting to read more horror books, but I know I'm such a picky reader. So for about a year, a weighed my options, and then the February Box: Love Games sounded so good I couldn't resist. 

So I waited and waited, and then waited because USPS is still so overwhelmed. Then finally it got here, and it was one hundred percent worth the wait. So what's this book box and what was inside? Behold the photos I took.

Let's start with the books! I haven't heard of any of these, but they all sound amazing! Westeria Cottage is going on my Fall TBR, and Tiny Nightmares is a freaking BINGO book. The Pink Cover square has been a thorn in my side since I added it to the board. Antioch is a debut so I've got no idea what to expect. So I'm hoping to get to it sooner rather than later. It sounds really good. 

As for everything in the goodies bag: I'm not sure which I love the most. The stick is adorable, Moonstruck is my favorite hot chocolate brand, and the bookmarks are really cool. One even has a little vampire bat on the tassel! So I'm really impressed with the box and excited to see what the March Box: Thrills and Chills is going to bring!

Synopsis of each book:

Tiny Nightmares:

In this playful, spine-tingling collection, leading literary and horror writers spin unforgettably chilling tales in only a few pages. Tiny Nightmares brings to life broken-hearted vampires, Uber-taking serial killers, mind-reading witches, and monsters of all imaging, as well as stories that tackle the horrors of our modern world from global warming and racism to social media addiction and online radicalization. Writers such as Samantha Hunt, Brian Evenson, Jac Jemc, Stephen Graham Jones, Kevin Brockmeier, and Rion Amilcar Scott expand our understanding of horror fiction with inventive and blood-curdling new tales. We suggest reading with the hall light on and the bedroom door open just a crack. 

Antioch:

Antioch used to be a quiet small town where nothing bad ever happened. Now six women have been savagely murdered. The media dubs the killer “Vlad the Impaler” due to the gruesome crime scenes of his victims. Clues are drying up fast and the hunt for the monster responsible is hitting a dead end.

After picking up a late-night transmission on her short-wave radio, a local bookseller named Bess becomes convinced a seventh victim has already been abducted. Bess is used to spending her nights alone reading about Amelia Earhart conspiracy theories, and now a new mystery has fallen in her lap: one she might actually be able to solve.

Assuming she doesn’t also wind up abducted.

Westeria Cottage:

To Florence Hackett and her daughters Elinor and Louisa, Richard Baurie, a handsome young bookstore clerk and aspiring poet, seems a little odd but harmless enough. With his amusing conversation and his eager-to-please attitude, Richard works his way into the Hacketts’ confidence until he is almost one of the family. When he suggests they rent Wisteria Cottage, a charming seaside residence, it seems to promise a summer of pleasant companionship and fun. What the Hacketts don’t know is that Richard is a deeply troubled individual, recently released from a mental institution and that their relaxing summer holiday will soon turn into a terrifying nightmare....

Anyone else getting any book boxes they love? Any genre-specific ones? While I'm liking Night Worms, I don't want to get bored with it. So in a few months, I might want to get a different box. Drop me a comment below if I should look into another box!

HAPPY READING!!
