In questa spooky season non possono mancare i consigli thriller più spaventosi...💀👻
Scorri per scoprire i nostri consigli misteriosi per la tua prossima lettura🎃

#giuntialpuntorescaldina #giuntirescaldina #consiglidilettura #halloween #librithriller

Un nuovo classico moderno, una storia incredibile piena di tensione e misteri, per la quale resterai col fiato sospeso fino all'ultima frase🍂

Quanto è sottile il confine tra realtà e incubi?
Quanto è fine la linea che ci separa dalla nostra vita di tutti i giorni e da un potenziale orrore ad occhi aperti?
State per scoprirlo... Prendete per mano L'Altra Mamma che vive nell'armadio🪦

Che cosa ci resta delle persone che se ne vanno? I ricordi, di solito.
Ma questi ricordi, dove risiedono? Nel cuore? Nel cervello? O in una scheda SD, una memoria esterna, un Cloud?
E se queste persone dovessero tornare indietro.. sarebbero le stesse che abbiamo conosciuto nella loro prima vita?

5 sconosciuti.
5 minuti prima di m0rire.

Tic tac, tic tac.
Il tempo scorre: ti salverai?

Le ossa parlano, cantano, raccontano storie.
E Temperance Brennan è la migliore nel decodificare questa lingua antica, viene chiamata spesso a risolvere casi sempre più complessi e sempre più spaventosi...💀

Libro Bonus!🪦
Non poteva mancare l'ultimo incredibile thriller di Jason Rekulak, dopo il quale vi assicuriamo, non vedrete più i gatti allo stesso modo 🎃

📗 Great storytelling from #JoshMalerman
🎙️ Fabulous narration by the talented @psantomasso

🤫 How do you avoid thinking about the one thing you are told NEVER to think about?
It’s practically impossible.
And this is why the ghost of Daphne will never die.
🫢 Curiosity and skepticism will keep her around.
Which means that bodies will continue dropping.

This book was a bit of a rollercoaster for me. The build was a slow burn and the mystery of it kept me turning the pages.
👻 It’s not your typical ghost story, in structure or content, but absolutely worth the read. Especially if you’re a fan of Malerman’s style.

🎧 Even better though, was the audiobook.
#PatriciaSantomasso is one of my favorite narrators, and she did such an excellent job here with all the characters and making me feel the creep.

HAY ALGO MALO EN CASA
📚 Autor: Josh Malerman @joshmalerman
🏷️ Editorial: @nocturnaed
🔎 Categoría: Terror
🖤 Temas clave: Infancia, maternidad y terror psicológico
📖 Páginas: 349
📕 Formato: tapa blanda
Una niña, una presencia inquietante y una «otra mamá» que consigue ponerte los pelos de punta. ¿Qué podría salir mal?
Al principio, este libro me estaba gustando bastante. Tiene una ambientación muy creepy y un mal rollo que, con una niña como protagonista, funciona especialmente bien.
Pero, llegados más o menos a la mitad, la historia se desvía hacia otro tema que termina pesando demasiado y, para mí, hace que el terror pierda protagonismo. Una pena, porque el comienzo tenía muchísimo potencial.
El final me lo esperaba y, de hecho, hubo una decisión que casi me produjo alivio. Y hasta aquí puedo leer, que no quiero haceros spoilers.
Aun así, me he quedado con ganas de ver qué han hecho con esta historia en la gran pantalla. La otra mamá está ahora mismo en cines y el tráiler me ha llamado muchísimo la atención. ¿Y si esta vez la película consigue conquistarme más que el libro? Ya os contaré qué me parece.

👧🏻🛌 Other Mommy 🛌👧🏻 von @joshmalerman @dtv_verlag | Rezensionsexemplar

📖 Vielen Dank @thorsten_thrillbooks für das gemeinsame Lesen und den Austausch zum Buch!

⏩️ Klappentext

💬 Die achtjährige Bela hat, neben ihrer Mommy und ihrem Daddo, auch noch eine zweite Mutter. Die andere Mutter hat lange dunkle Haare auf den Armen, riecht nach Kanalisation und möchte unbedingt in Belas Herz. Bald gerät die Situation mit der anderen Mutter außer Kontrolle und die Sicherheit der ganzen Familie steht auf dem Spiel...

Ich war sehr auf den Roman „Other Mommy“ gespannt. Denn der Inhalt verspricht gruslige Lesestunden mit einer ganzen Ladung Horror. Zu Beginn war ich über den wirklich ungewöhnlichen Schreibstil überrascht. Denn das gesamte Buch wird aus Belas Sicht geschrieben und die Handlung wird uns als Leser rein durch die Wahrnehmungen der Achtjährigen mitgeteilt. Daher gibt es auch keine direkte Rede, sondern eben nur die Wiedergabe der Konversationen aus Belas Sicht. Obwohl ich Kinderperspektiven in Thrillern und Co eigentlich nicht so gerne mag, konnte mich der Schreibstil dennoch überzeugen. Denn ich konnte mich wirklich gut in Bela hineinversetzen und habe nicht nur ihre Angst spüren, sondern auch die Erwachsenengespräche aus einer anderen Sichtweise mitverfolgen können. Es hat mir gut gefallen, dass die Handlung auch direkt begonnen hat und man gleich auf die andere Mutter trifft. Es gab durchaus einige sehr gute Horrorszenen, die neu und wirklich hervorragend waren. Hier und da hätte ich mir doch einige mehr solcher Szenen gewünscht, da es auch oft längere Abschnitte gab, wo nicht wirklich viel passiert ist. Das Ende hätte ich mir ebenfalls noch etwas actionreicher erwartet, doch alles in allem war es ein solider Horror-Roman, bei dem es zwar noch Luft nach oben gibt, mich aber gut unterhalten konnte.

Look at the very pretty books I got this weekend. Mary Danner and Elizabeth Aspbury spoiled me. I only bought two of these.

Goblin by Josh Malerman is a fun read. I listened to the audio and the narrator was perfect. And now I have this beautiful hardcover copy.

Marla by Jonathan Janz is one of my top reads this year. And this edition is gorgeous.

I've been quite looking forward to Mazywood by Tananarive Due. I'm also a sucker for sprayed edges. And purple is my favorite color, so it's lovely.

I read the first chapter of Incarnate by Alma Katsu when she posted it to her webpage. I'm very much looking forward to finishing it.

Nick Cutter is an auto buy, so I was very excited to find The Dorians.

Everybody has been talking about NightJars by Michael Wehunt, so that one is high up on my TBR.

Emily Zinnikas is new to me, but the synopsis for I am the Monster Under the Bed piqued my curiosity.

And The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury is a perfect gift.

👻 THREE BOOKS. ONE LAST SPOOKY COMMITMENT. 💙

October is almost over, and apparently I’ve decided the best way to celebrate is by committing to three more books that will probably make me suspicious of everyone around me. Healthy hobby. Very normal. 😂

🏠 Currently Committed: The Obsession by Natasha Preston

A teenage girl with a dangerous secret and someone who knows a little too much. Because apparently privacy is a luxury we can no longer afford. 👀

🐈‍⬛ Next Committed: Look What the Cat Dragged In by Jason Rekulak

A creepy mystery, buried secrets, and the kind of unsettling atmosphere that makes you question what everyone is hiding. Naturally, I’m intrigued.

🌫️ Also Next Committed: Goblin by Josh Malerman

Six interconnected stories set in one very strange town. Small-town charm has never sounded quite so threatening. 💀

🏆 Goodreads Achievements: Absolutely none.

No badges. No challenges. Just three books I willingly chose to disturb my peace before Halloween.

Honestly, if I finish all three before October ends, I think Goodreads should create an achievement specifically for poor time management. 🎃

Which of these three would you pick up first? And are you squeezing in one last spooky read before October ends?

creepy, unsettling, and definitely not the kind of book you want to read alone in a dark house…👀🏠

this book was definitely creepy and had some genuinely unsettling moments! the atmosphere was eerie, and i really liked how the story played on childhood fears. (genuinely could not stand the mother!!) however, i felt like some parts didn’t hit as hard as i hoped, and i was left wanting a little more by the end to the point i had to reread the last page to make sure i read it right. overall, it was an interesting, spooky read, but not a new favorite for me!🖤📚

Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman⭐️⭐️⭐️

should i see the movie?🍿

🗽🇺🇸📚 The New York book haul!

Of course, I couldn’t visit NYC without bringing home a few books. And by a few, I mean my suitcase had some extra reading material to squeeze in! 📚🤷‍♀️

Here’s what made the trip home with me:
🗽 Witch Trial — Harriet Tyce 🗽 I’m Dreaming of a New York Christmas — Hayley Dunlop 🗽 The Lamb — Lucy Rose 🗽 Witchcraft for Wayward Girls — Grady Hendrix 🗽 The Haunting of Ashburn House — Darcy Coates 🗽 The Eyes Are the Best Part — Monika Kim 🗽 Incidents Around the House — Josh Malerman 🗽 We Used to Live Here — Marcus Kliewer 🗽The Five-Star Weekend — Elin Hilderbrand

A mix of thrillers, creepy reads, some beachy summer fiction and a Christmas book thrown in for good measure. 😂🎄📚

Nine books, one New York trip and a TBR that absolutely did not need any help growing. 😂📚

Now I just need to decide which one to read first… 👀

Have you read any of these? Which should I bump to the top of my TBR?

Curled up with a book that has your heart racing just a little is my kind of vibe. Have you read Incidents Around the House by @joshmalerman ? The movie, Other Mommy, is based on it.
