Saint Delilah by Isabelle Spotts, A Ghost Story With Teeth.

Saint Delilah by Isabelle Spotts, A Ghost Story With Teeth.

Isabelle Spotts’s Saint Delilah is a ghost story that refuses to be gentle. This feminist supernatural suspense novel follows Delilah, a murdered nineteen-year-old who becomes a ghost and, with the help of a medium and a man who can see the dead, hunts her killer. Evil entities threaten to consume her soul. It is a revenge narrative, a thriller, and a meditation on grief and justice. The dead don’t forget. Neither will you.

Party of a Lifetime by Henry Corrigan: A Queer Body Horror Novel That Puts the Real Monster in the Driveway

Party of a Lifetime by Henry Corrigan: A Queer Body Horror Novel That Puts the Real Monster in the Driveway

Henry Corrigan’s Party of a Lifetime strands four queer friends in Monotony, a 1950s hell town that reshapes itself around their nightmares and slowly reshapes them too. This is body horror written with a mechanic’s patience, with a narcissistic mother at the centre of it, and it is the best thing Corrigan has written.

Son of Sara Review: Houston Bone’s Sly Satanic Pregnancy Horror

Son of Sara Review: Houston Bone’s Sly Satanic Pregnancy Horror

Son of Sara takes the well worn Satanic pregnancy formula and finds fresh life in it, thanks to Houston Bone’s patient direction and a cast who make even familiar scenes land. Chloe Van Landschoot and Tymika Tafari sell the relationship at its centre, and the film’s quiet change in theme upends the expected ending. An indie horror film that spends its small budget wisely and gets you out in under ninety minutes.
