[Book] Monumental by Adam L. G. Nevill (2026)

Nevill hits all the right notes in one of the best paced and balanced books of his long and (hah, pun!) storied writing career. While already a fan, this story of kayakers caught up in the tail-end of a much broader horror tale has helped to rekindle a spark. Too bad I’ve read pretty much everything by him, eh?

[Movie] Five Nights at Freddy’s (2023)

This hybrid ghost- / animatronic-horror movie coasts on a mixture of good visuals and the good chemistry of the sibling pair at its core but regularly slams into walls of non-sense. More a missed-chance than modern classic but fair enough when it just lets the cast shut up and the screen do the talking.
