Fiction. Horror. Thriller. HTML: *Nat Cassidy's highly commercial, debut horror novel Mary, blends Midsommar* with elements of American Psycho and a pinch of I'll Be Gone in the Dark. Mary is a quiet, middle-aged woman doing her best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself. But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can't look in a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things. Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown hoping to reconnect with her past and inner self. What she finds instead are visions of terrifying, mutilated specters come with increasing regularity, she begins auto-writing strange thoughts and phrases, and her investigations reveal that these experiences are echoes of an infamous serial killer. Then the killings begin again. Mary's definitely going to find herself. A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.** .… (plus d'informations)

A big, but not baggy modern horror novel which truly hit the spot. I crushed it in less than a week. One of the only horror novels I've read with a 50 woman protagonist! Super gorey and engaging, with some complex and well-executed worldbuilding. (

Need to finish this book. Stopped reading because it actually depressed me! (

Objectively, I don't think this is a bad book, it just wasn't my personal taste in horror. I typically don't mind a slow burn but this was excruciatingly slow and so much of the horror elements felt corny and half baked. If anything, I think this book made me realize that I really despise paranormal stories and ghosts are so unserious. (

There's a LOT to unpack In this novel. Not a soft read in any form. Life cycles, porcelain figurines that are precious enough to be called family. Voices in the head, first person (very important), body horror and body hate. Change, regret, violence lots of violence. A secret cult? Revenge and even betrayal. I had to do this one in small servings because the horror is so harshly rooted and raw. It's well delivered and made the author's message so vivid and permanent. (

I loved this book. A little bit of horror. A little bit of crime thriller. A lot of bit of relatable impacts society holds again women and aging. And how childhood bullies can impact growing up. Then enough humor to tie it all together. I loved the writing style and pace! If anything perhaps the ending could have been shorter buuuut it wrapped it up all together nicely. Highly recommend. (

Fiction. Horror. Thriller. HTML:

Nat Cassidy's highly commercial, debut horror novel Mary, blends Midsommar with elements of American Psycho and a pinch of I'll Be Gone in the Dark.

Mary is a quiet, middle-aged woman doing her best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself.
But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can't look in a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things.
Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown hoping to reconnect with her past and inner self. What she finds instead are visions of terrifying, mutilated specters come with increasing regularity, she begins auto-writing strange thoughts and phrases, and her investigations reveal that these experiences are echoes of an infamous serial killer.
Then the killings begin again.
Mary's definitely going to find herself.
