This list contains books that engage with a lot of water imagery. It reflects our pain, our joy, and possibly changes us through the streams and tides of rivers, lakes, the sea and other watery entities.

Picture Books with stunning examples of illustrations and creative styles across mediums | Being able to see the hand behind the work, the flow of a brush stroke, the mark of a pen, the texture of a crayon, the print blocks... | While I particularly mean JPB/Juvenile Picture Books (a library category for picture books targeted at young kids), I believe these books can be read by all ages! I thoroughly enjoy finding and reading the best of them myself. | Open to recommendations! Please reccomend favorites in the comments! 🚧

The Bram Stoker Awards for Best Novel are presented by the Horror Writers Association (hence HWA) for 'superior achievement' in horror writing - FF: Stephen King is the biggest winner in this category and the biggest loser.

Not enough of you seem to know about Craig (Heather) Schaefer and the extraordinary Urban Fantasy universes she has spun! I make this list to rectify that inequity!

All things horror I recommend

Books i need to stop pushing off and just sit down and read 😭

One day, I visited a B&N. While exploring, I stumbled upon the horror section and found a table stocked full of a purple-covered book titled Strange Buildings. Right next to the table was a cardboard cutout of the creepy, masked author Uketsu. Obviously, I was immediately intrigued. I googled the series and decided to go to my local library to look for the first one, Strange Houses. What was once a creepy marketing tactic turned into my favorite book series ever! Here is my ranked list.

Batman is by far my favorite comic book character. I love what he represents, his rogues gallery, and the gothic and dark image of Gotham. Recently, I've been exploring more comic books and, of course, this led me to want to read more Batman comics. In this list, I will rank them as I read them.
