From the Archives: The Heroines by Eileen Favorite

Image
Original Review written September 11, 2016 on Goodreads (slightly edited here) Heroines starts off with an intriguing premise. Ann-Marie and her daughter, Penelope, maintain a boarding house in the 1970s, and from time to time Heroines from various novels/plays/stories will come and visit them. There is only one rule: you must never interfere with a Heroine's fate. Little Penelope is 13 and on the cusp of womanhood as a daring Hero (or Villain?) arrives chasing down his lost heroine. She is drawn to this dashing stranger and resents the heroines for monopolizing her mother. Sounds pretty sweet, right? Well, in actuality, it's not bad. It's pretty awesome to see the Heroines outside of their story. Some of them include Catherine Earshaw of Wuthering Heights (annoying as ever), Madame Bovary (Which I have yet to read), and Scarlett O'Hara (whom I adore despite her spoiled nature). That part, where the Heroines come is strong and has actually made me want to ...

Top Books I Read in 2024

Image
Another year of reading complete. Another end of year top book list. This year, I focused more on short stories and have also posted a list of top short stories that I read this year. My total number of books stayed relatively constant - 70 in 2023 vs. 65ish* in 2024, but that includes short story magazines. 2024 was a complicated year for me, personally. A lot of good things happened - trips with family, and some sad things - had to put down my old doggie. I left Twitter and embraced Bluesky. I also started an author newsletter and put together my first story collection. But this space is for the books I read this year, so here are the ones that stayed with me. As usual, in no particular order.   The Lies We Conjure by Sarah Henning I said it upfront in my review and I'll say it again here: I loved this book. Witches. Supernatural thriller. Locked-room murder. Love it. This book was a fast-paced thriller that was a joy to read from start to finish. Full Review on Horror Tree ...

Monthly Microfiction - December 2021 - Billy's Special Blanket

Image
Billy's Special Blanket             Billy tightened the blanket his mother made him around his head. She promised no monsters could hurt him through his special blanket.        The closet door creaked open and all of the monster’s legs spilled out. It crawled across the floor and up onto the bed. A multitude of legs prodded Billy. The monster roared when it could not breach the blanket’s power. In fury, the monster flailed about, destroying Billy’s room.        His parents charged down the hall and through the door. Then screamed in terror when the creature attacked.        Billy was safe under the blanket, but his parents were not.     Photo by Steinar Engeland on Unsplash       Originally published in Beneath from Ghost Orchid Press on May 5, 2021  Included in Thin Slices: A Collection of Horror Flash Fiction coming January 12, 2025 ...
