Horror Book of the Week: Prowl

 




This week’s HORROR BOOK OF THE WEEK is PROWL


Written by Elizabeth Myrva, the book is a fantasy-romance short story. 


The Plot (Taken from Amazon.com)


One human heart will save them all.

For ten years I’ve listened to my Grandmother’s warnings; Don’t be too loud, don’t stand out, and, most of all, don’t be Chosen like my mother had been. To be dressed in white and presented to the beast that prowls the misty forest surrounding our village. To be a sacrifice that protects our people from the beast’s wrath for another decade.


My mother’s cloak still hangs in the square, preserved as proof of the last sacrifice made. Where once it was white, as they all start, it’s now stained with the last of her blood. It’s all that was left of her.


My sister, too young to remember when they’d taken my mother away, doesn’t take our grandmother’s warning to heart as she should. But I have. My entire life, I’ve behaved and watched over my reckless sister so we can both avoid our mother's fate. Until I’m betrayed.


Fate Chose me, but I’m more than a sacrifice to the beast prowling in the woods. He’s more than I ever expected, and he’s hungry for more than just my blood.



Prowl is a short story, little red riding hood retelling. It's dark, spicy, and introduces you to the Aphotic World in its beginning.

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer.   Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: After leaving the asylum and put in house arrest, Tom begins to believe the house is either haunted or he is hallucinating.  Most times, when we think about criminals, we wonder what could possible have prompted them to fall into a life of crime.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying.  What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot  We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
