Re-Release Blog Tour & Excerpt: Confessions of the Very First Zombie Slayer (That I Know of) by Fiona Titchenell

Image
Author: Fiona Titchenell Genre: Young Adult, Horror, Zombies Publication Date: April 4, 2017 The world is Cassie Fremont’s playground. Her face is on the cover of every newspaper. She has no homework, no curfew, and no credit limit, and she spends her days traveling the country with her friends, including a boy who would do the chicken dance with death to make her smile. Life is just about perfect—except that those newspaper headlines are about her bludgeoning her crush to death with a paintball gun, she has to fight ravenous walking corpses every time she steps outside, and one of her friends is still missing, trapped somewhere in the distant, practically impassable wreckage of Manhattan. Still, Cassie’s an optimist, more prone to hysterical laughter than hysterical tears, and she’d rather fight a corpse than be one. She’ll never leave a friend stranded when she can simply take her road trip to impossible new places, even if getting there means admitting to that boy that...

Zurvival Saturday (131) Movie Review: Zedd (2014) #크로스진

Image
Hey ya'll, I'm back this week with a Movie Review for the Japanese film, Zedd.  I came across this film because it stars the group Cross Gene #크로스진 and frankly my curiosity was piqued even further when I saw they had created and starred in a Zombie film. Genre: Thriller, Horror, Zombies Director: Teppei Nakamura Country: Japan Run Time: 54 Minutes 6 youngsters have to survive in the world populated with zombies. They attempt to fill their time with music, play and dancing... But, one day, one of them is contaminated so they have no choice  but to find an antidote. *Small Spoilers Below As some of you may know I am a huge Kpop fan. Recently I've been branching out from the big 3 groups (those coming from SM,YG and JYP) and trying to find smaller but still amazingly talented groups to follow as well. Enter: Cross Gene #크로스진. I found them by chance through my subscriptions on Youtube as they had just premiered a video called...

Waiting on Wednesday (143) Ararat by Christopher Golden

Image
Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly blog post hosted by Breaking The Spine where readers share which books they are highly anticipating. This week I want to share Ararat by Christopher Golden Why I'm Waiting :  First off, I love the premise of this story, it sounds really unique. Actually this story reminds me of the Mummy meets say Dracula 2000. I'm not saying the creature inside is a Vampire but it is at least plausible since it was found in a coffin. Either way I think the premise has loads of potential and I know Christopher Golden is an Author who can do Horror well so I'm optimistic.  Expected Publication:  April 18th 2017 from St. Martin's Press New York Times bestselling author Christopher Golden’s supernatural thriller about a mountain adventure that quickly turns into a horrific nightmare of biblical proportions. Fans of Dan Simmons’ The Terror will love Ararat, the thrilling tale of an adventure that goes awry. When a newly engaged couple climb...

Top Ten Books I Regret Not Reading In 2016

Image
Every year I feel like I say the same thing, so many books, so little time. 2016 by far was better reading wise for me than 2015. I completed my Goodreads goal, I read a bunch of wicked new Graphic Novels and I even stepped out of my comfort zone and read some books not in my usual preference of genres. So why do I feel like a failure still?  Despite my best efforts to read more I still left many books on the shelf unread. The dutiful reader within is screaming with discontent but my heart knows that I tried and sometimes that has to be good enough. The great thing about literature is it is not fleeting. The books will be their waiting for me with open pages when I find time to get around to them.    With that being said and in no particular order (sans my top pick), here are my Top Ten Books I Regret Not Reading In 2016: 10.) My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand The comical, fantastical, romantical, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey. In My Lady Jane, coau...
