Exactly what it says on the tin. If you do not understand this trope, then you are the cause of this trope.

Posted on 24 February 202030 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Bride of Chucky (1998) wherein we’re supposed to believe the Jennifer Tilly wants to be Katherine Heigl?

Necromentia (2009)

Posted on 14 March 201930 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Necromentia (2009) wherein: demons are dicks, humans don’t decompose, lawyers can’t be trusted, singing pigs are massively dodgy, and I hope JC is still talking to me.

The Hole (2001)

The Accident by Diane Hoh

Posted on 21 November 201631 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps the Point Horror staple, The Accident by Diane Hoh, where a nice girl swaps places with a ghost and, shocker, that turns out to be a Very. Bad. Idea.

The Invitation by Diane Hoh

Posted on 17 October 201631 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps The Invitation by Diane Hoh where a bunch of unfortunates are invited to the coolest party of the year… as the victims. It’s like The Purge, only less happens and nobody cares.

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.

Help Wanted by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Posted on 13 June 201631 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Help Wanted by Richie Tankersley Cusick and has to resort to bullet points, as this book has a lot going on, most of which is silly, pointless, or offensive.

The Cheerleader (Vampire Series: Book 1) by Caroline B. Cooney

Posted on 7 December 201531 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps a Point Horror staple, The Cheerleader (Vampire Series: Book 1) by Caroline B. Cooney, where Althea trades humans for popularity, and it’s kind of awesome.

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.

The Mall by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Posted on 30 March 201531 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps The Mall by Richie Tankersley Cusick, which is literally the best and worst thing Cusick has ever written. This causes Dove to explode with rage. Several times.

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?

Arcadia 3: The Pool by T. S. Rue

Posted on 18 August 201431 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps the very best in the Arcadia series, #3: The Pool by T. S. Rue, where we have irresponsible lifeguards, slack work ethics, surprise returned-from-the-dead characters, and also MOTHERFUCKING PIRANHAS. Yes, you read that right. PIRANHAS. This book is the greatest.

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.
