Because she was a bad woman - review of the book "Loop"

12.03.2022 Agnieszka Czoska 0

What do you think is the most important thing in a good horror book? Mood, plot, or maybe a convincing image of more or less ancient evil? Can good illustrations make up for any of these elements?

Haunted furniture store... Does working in large supermarkets need a supernatural element to be scary? Hendrix seems to be saying: maybe not necessarily, but let's see whats inside...

A lot of fans of fantasy literature with a romantic theme were waiting for this book. Jennifer L. Armentrout has conquered many hearts of  abroad readers. What did the world see in the book about the chosen empath?

Don't be afraid, everything will be fine - review of the book "We Have Always Lived in a Castle"

This is the third (after The Haunting House on the Hill and The Lottery ) offer of the Replika Publishing House, which will allow you to once again move to the Shirley Jackson universe. We have Always Lived in a Castle is a screened novel, so after reading it, you might want to watch this dark story (the title of the film is We Have Always Lived in the Castle , 2018).

In the trap of adventure - pre-premiere review of the book "Sofia, the Girl from the Bone House"

16.02.2022 Ines Załęska-Olszewska 0

The latest story by Kiran Millwood Hargrave is undoubtedly a worthy successor to the Ink Girl and the Stars . The bone house, which initially serves as a mainstay for Sofia, becomes a place of danger when the girl's mother disappears without a trace. Let yourself be carried away by the Tuscan hills and experience great adventures with the heroine!

Will the mysterious plague reach Moscow and destroy a fallen world again? - review of the book "Outpost 2" by Dmitry Głuchowski.

14.02.2022 Wojciech „Antares” Chmiel 0

The author, creating the first part, set the bar to jump over very high. Consequently, expectations for a sequel were really high in my case. How did the Russian deal with the pressure and did he produce a work worthy of his predecessor?

When you do not know if what you see is true - review of the book "The Sinner"

12.02.2022 Katarzyna Gnacikowska 0

There are novels that you just read, put away, and nothing is left of it. Another fleeting story that pops out of your head right after reading it. I know that they are also needed, but I prefer others. Leaving a mess in the brain and a very intense book hangover. The title must shock me, break my world into tiny fragments so that I have to put it together myself. I want such titles, I expect...

A stupid coyote and a tormented vulture, or about how unfair deities can be - review of the book Szaman's twist by Aneta Jadowska

02.02.2022 Jarosława Trzpis 0

When the long-awaited third volume of the shamanic series finally appeared on the market, on the one hand I was happy, and on the other hand, I broke down that this was the end. Did poor Witkac get his private happy ending?
