I am such a fraidy cat, I mean, I get nervous picking up horror stories these days. I don’t know what happened to make me so chicken in my late 30s. Alas. Stephen Graham Jones is an author who has been hyped by so many of my favorite influencers and the book internets. So, picking […]
A Mirror Mended by Alix E. Harrow | Novella Review
June 14, 2022
I was so excited to dive into A Mirror Mended by Alix E. Harrow. This novella was the sequel to A Spindle Splintered – which I LOVED. It stands to reason this novella would be just as good.

I had to put a hold on the physical book at the library — as I wanted that tactile reading experience. Well, turns out, I didn’t exactly love The Blacktongue Thief. […]
