Review: The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

Posted on April 9, 2020 by Jenn

Whoah!! I’m a fan of Hendrix’s books (I’ve read every one of them) but this one quickly rose to the top as a favorite.  Toted as Dracula meets Steel Magnolias or Fried Green Tomatoes, it really is the most unique of vampire tales.  Hendrix took … Continue reading →

I don’t actually recall how I discovered this title, but it seems like it was fate that I read it.  The timing was perfect (I’d just finished reading a very…unfulfilling book and I needed something that would sweep me away.  … Continue reading →

Posted on October 3, 2016 by Jenn

There’s no doubt that I’m a fan of Donohue’s writing. I’ve devoured everything he’s written (including The Boy Who Drew Monsters, Centuries of June, and Angels of Destruction), impressed each time by his talent. This most recent title may be … Continue reading →
