The Hole (2001)

Posted on 7 August 201830 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps The Hole (2001) wherein everyone over the age of eighteen is absolutely incapable of rational thought, and those under that age are terrifying.

Wickedpedia by Chris van Etten

Posted on 10 April 201731 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Wickedpedia by Chris van Etten, one of the new Point Horrors, that address the injustice of the lack of diversity of leads in PH: we need MOAR WHITE MALES. And that’s probably the least shitty thing about this book. Brace yourself.

Hall Pass by Robert Hawks

Dove recaps Hall Pass by Robert Hawks, and still has no idea what it was about.

Return of the Vampire (Vampire Series: Book 2) by Caroline B. Cooney

Posted on 1 August 201631 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Return of the Vampire (Vampire Series: Book 2) by Caroline B. Cooney, where Devnee trades humans not for popularity like Althea, but for beauty. It goes about as well as can be expected.

The Stalker by Carol Ellis

Posted on 18 July 201631 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps The Stalker by Carol Ellis, which feels like a paint-by-numbers Point Horror. Bad things happen to a nice girl. Business as usual.

Defriended by Ruth Baron

Posted on 24 August 201531 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Defriended by Ruth Baron, which was written by the one person on the planet who has never heard of catfishing, and actually expects us to believe that the dead use Facebook. In a series known for being a massive tease when it comes to the supernatural. Ruth Baron can just fuck off. I hate this book.

Teacher’s Pet by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Posted on 9 February 201531 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps the garbled mess that is Teacher’s Pet by Richie Tankersley Cusick. It may suck, but at least it has a cat in it.

The Window by Carol Ellis

Posted on 8 September 201431 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps The Window by Carol Ellis, which was awesome back in the 90s, because of the cool location, the big cast, and my low standards. Is it still awesome now, or is it as dull as being forced to sit in a cabin in the mountains alone every day thanks to a broken ankle?

The Lifeguard by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Posted on 4 August 201431 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps The Lifeguard by Richie Tankersley Cusick, a book so painfully obvious, it practically announces the killer on the first page. But, you know, red herrings, hot cheerful boys, intense quiet boys, and people who run away to privately owned islands. Your standard baffling Cusick fare.

Beach House by R L Stine

Posted on 10 February 201331 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Beach House, a Point Horror where characters actually die, and Stine uses a cliffhanger ending on every single chapter.

Trick or Treat by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Posted on 25 January 201331 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Trick or Treat where we meet Martha who is literally the worst. And she is honestly surprised that someone wants to kill her. Dove is honestly surprised that only one person wants to kill her.
