Waiting on Wednesday 02/06/19
Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!
Mogsy’s Pick
The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher (October 1, 2019 by Saga Press)
I love the sound of this creepy horror, releasing this fall just in time for Halloween.
When Mouse’s dad asks her to clean out her dead grandmother’s house, she says yes. After all, how bad could it be?
Answer: pretty bad. Grandma was a hoarder, and her house is stuffed with useless rubbish. That would be horrific enough, but there’s more—Mouse stumbles across her step-grandfather’s journal, which at first seems to be filled with nonsensical rants…until Mouse encounters some of the terrifying things he described for herself.
Alone in the woods with her dog, Mouse finds herself face to face with a series of impossible terrors—because sometimes the things that go bump in the night are real, and they’re looking for you. And if she doesn’t face them head on, she might not survive to tell the tale.
From Hugo Award–winning author Ursula Vernon, writing as T. Kingfisher, The Twisted Ones is a gripping, terrifying tale bound to keep you up all night—from both fear and anticipation of what happens next.

I had no idea T Kingfisher was Ursula Vernon! I loved Bryony & Roses, that made me cackle so hard. this is a completely different genre and atmosphere, but I’m excited for it!

I’ve never read Ursula Vernon, so when I read about her pseudonym I was clueless. But knowing that she’s written humor, I guess that puts the blurb in a whole new light 😀

I read my first T. Kingfisher last year and loved the writing, this one seems pretty interesting but maybe not in my wheelhouse as much as I don’t read a lot of horror these days. Hope you enjoy it!

I’ve never read her work, either under her real name or pseudonym so I guess I’m in for an adventure no matter how this pans out! 😀

What a great find! I need this one too now. I wanna know what Mouse finds and I love that she has a dog with her – it better not die! However, as I was reading and it stated she stumbled across her step-grandfather’s journal, I initially just read Step-grandfather. That would give the book a whole different twist.

Haha, I knew you would be intrigued about the dog! I was too. And I’m with you there, it better not die…

“Sometimes the things that go bump in the night are real, and they’re looking for you.” I love that tagline. That, right there, makes me want to give it a read.

Oh, a thousand percent! She has a lot of short fiction up online, and the longer ‘Summer in Orcus’ is free to read, too, and very worth it 🙂
