@carnegiemedals.bsky.social 🥳with a book haiku a day./Atmospheric read,
siblings facing their worst fears/as a monster stalks.
Horror with such heart,
a family stricken by
grief as a house rots.
Only Gwen knows who/
to fear as tension and scares/ mount in gothic style./Congratulations to #JackMackay

Apt that I wish you all a Happy Halloween, on the morning that I finished this horror gem.
Gloam by #JackMackay was every bit as good, as I had heard.
Nightmare-ish monsters, an old family home with a secret, a bleak and stormy Island, all brought to life beautifully.
Ace! 👍

I recently discovered that my TBR pile had fallen well below the safety regulations of 3 miles high.
A little order pickup from @quinnsbookshop.bsky.social yesterday, has averted any tragic consequences.

Cracking chiller from #JackMackay (illustrated by #benjoelprice) with frightening monsters, a terrifying house and a courageous heroine, Gwen. Relationships push the emotional buttons. #jenniferkillick fans will love it. (Note:deals with loss of parent from illness) year6 #kidlituk #ukkidlit #edusky
