ARC for review. Published September 10, 2024.

Nineteen short stories about haunted books, stories, journals and the like. I love horror. I love books about books. What could go wrong?

A lot. Thank you, BOUND IN BLOOD for giving me nothing. I don’t think there was even one story here that I enjoyed or would recommend. So very, very disappointing, I was really looking forward to this.

Srivalli Rekha Yikes! I was so sad to be declined for this that I even sent them an email requesting a copy. Maybe I should be relieved they didn't respond.

Erin Oh, yes. Be relieved. This is one of those “I read this so you don’t have to” reads.

Johnny Erin, first of all, thank you for your review. I'm truly sorry the book didn't work out for you. All I can say is that at least you didn't need to pay for it!

Srivalli, if I can ask a favour? Try the book. Get it from the library, or I'll get a review pdf sorted out for you. Not reading the book because someone doesn't like it, it saddens me. I've been told about loads of books people have hated and I go and read them. Sometimes they're right, but most times they're wrong. But I've found that out for myself. That's the important point. If you don't like it after that, then that's fair. But, as its editor, please try it.
