Blog Tour Review - Black Crow Best New Horror

 Blog Tour Review - Black Crow Best New Horror There's always been something about the horror story that I've felt really suits the short story format. I think it's because there's no slow build up and no comforting resolution, as a reader you're just dropped straight into the scary situation and you're often left without answers. The ghosts aren't exorcised, the demons aren't revealed to simply be the grounds keeper in a rubber mask, and the horror is left lingering in your mind. I grew up reading horror short story collections by Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe and HP Lovecraft but it's been a while since I read any new horror collections so I was very excited to be asked to read and review one of the short stories in the Black Crow Best New Horror Anthology. For anyone unfamiliar with Black Crow, they've been doing book marketing and PR for ages now and are responsible for arranging many of the blog tours I've been doing over the last few ye...

Six for Sunday - most anticipated books of 2018

Hiya.

Today's Six for Sunday is my most anticipated books of 2018.

I did have this worked out a few weeks ago, when I first saw the topic. Two of my most anticipated books were due for release on 4th January. But as it happens, Waterstones got both Sky Song and The Fandom in early, and I now have both the ARC and final release books for both these wonderful titles. Expect reviews soon!

So, with them excluded, here are my six most anticipated releases for next year:

  1. The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert. I love fairy tales and wonderland, and I am very excited about this book.
  2. How Do You Like Me Now by Holly Bourne. Honestly I still haven't read the copy of It Only Happens in the Movies I bought at the launch event, but I'm already excited for Holly's adult debut.
  3. Winds of Winter by George R R Martin. My most anticipated book of the last four years! This one still doesn't have a publication date, but I'm hoping it'll be out sometime in 2018. As soon as it has a date I'll be excitedly counting down the days. 
  4. Fire and Blood vol 1. by George R R Martin. I've read a couple of GRRM's 'history' of Westeros short stories in the anthologies Dangerous Women and Rogues, and really enjoyed them. He's planning a two volume collection of these with further stories fleshing out the history behind the Game of Thrones world, and has suggested that volume one might be out in 2018. Could we really get two GRRM books next year? Or will there be none, yet again?
  5. Song of Sorrow by Melinda Salisbury. I have issues with The Sleeping Prince, but I absolutely loved both The Sin Eater's Daughter and The Scarecrow Queen, so I've got high hopes for this new novel.
  6. Spark by Alice Broadway. Ink was one of my favourite books of the year, with a unique set up that really drew me into its world. This is the second volume of a planned sequel and I can't wait to see where Alice goes with the story.
Thanks again to Steph for coming up with these. I'm looking forward to seeing what she's got planned for next year. Check out her blog at https://alittlebutalot.wordpress.com/
