Horror Reviews Index [Automatically Updated]

HORROR REVIEW INDEX:

This page used to feature direct access to every book I have reviewed, but over time it is getting cumbersome and out of date. It also does not actually have a list of everything I have read and reviewed; for example, I have not always included titles I read for annotated lists. But you know where all of the books I have read and written about are archived? Goodreads. And it seems silly do double the work.

So if you would like access to my reviews, you can click here for Becky's "Read" Books on Goodreads. Or you can also click here to access the What I'm Reading tag on RA for All.

But, because I am only 1 person, and I cannot possibly get to every book that could be a good fit for your patrons, I also offer the following links to Becky approved horror reviews:
  • Sadie Hartmann's Reviews: Goodreads has a great community of horror reviewers, but Sadie, known as Mother Horror, is one of the best. Like me she is also a professional reviewer, but while I review for the library sites, she reviews for the major direct to readers' Horror outlets. She marks which of her reviews appear in those publications.
  • Michael Patrick Hicks: another reviewer [and author] I trust on Goodreads. Again, also a professional reviewer.
  • Book Marks Horror Category: Book Marks is a division of Lit Hub. This site takes all of the major review sources [including LJ and Booklist] and aggregates the reviews to come up with a general rating for the book. You can use this link to find every Horror title reviewed by the resources they follow. It is extremely useful to see multiple reviews, of the same title, by professional reviewers all in one place.
And remember, it doesn’t matter how old the book is. A great title from 5 years ago is still a good read for someone. Dig through the backlist. Here’s a way back example; it’s still a great read.
