Book Review: Voice Like A Hyacinth

As soon as I finished Voice Like A Hyacinth, I immediately went into a contemplative mode. I truly wondered whether I read this book wrong because it did not seem like neither a horror nor a thriller story. It’s more of a psychological story told by lesbians whose friendship was really weird. In Voice Like A Hyacinth, we follow the story of passionate art students Jo, Saz, Caroline, Finch, and Amrita who are not only lesbians but also whose friendship is as weird as they come. Perhaps, artists and their relationships are really eccentric. As the story constantly tells us,…

Nobody ‘Bod’ Owens grew up and was raised by the ghosts in the graveyard. Bod thought that this was normal as he traipsed around and explored the graveyard as a growing child would normally do. However, his normal life within the compounds of the graveyard was turned upside and…

Book Review: The Picture of Dorian Gray

There is no other way to put this, but the Picture of Dorian Gray is tantalizingly despicable. Tagged as horror in Goodreads, I was not prepared that this is even darker than Frankenstein. The reader might at first find comfort at reading the almost poetic prose but as you delve deeper into the story, you will find that it’s almost perverse. How can the writing exude such lyricism when the story is about this boy whose life story is as deplorable as it can be? Can you imagine looking at something so horrid that it’s mesmerizing and that you cannot…
