I recently read both “The Daughter of Doctor Moreau” by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and “The Island of Doctor Moreau” by H. G. Wells.

The Disappearing Man
Before I start, I want to let you know, listener, that I understand how stupid I am going to sound to you. I admit, this wasn’t one of my best moments, but you’ll understand, hopefully, why I did it. Why I followed him. I mean, it had been just like any normal day. I was …

I Remember: Part Two

My Thoughts on Pet Sematary
I recently finished reading “Pet Sematary” by Stephen King, with an introduction by the author himself. Below I will share my thoughts post-completion, meaning this isn’t exactly a “book review” in a sense.
