Horror Books by black authors

Are you a horror fan and have been wanting to diverse your books a little bit? Today’s post is all about horror books by black authors. I have been wanting to do a post that revolves around horror books by black authors for a while now. Horror is one of my favorite genres but it’s not that often I actually come across a horror book by a black author. I’m not completely sure if there just aren’t many who write in this genre or if there just aren’t many who are published yet. But I am determined to read more by authors who aren’t white.

Best books of 2021 that should be on your bookshelf

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! Today I’m wanting to talk about the best books of 2021. All of these books I have read and LOVED so I have to share them with you. Most of these books are going to be horror and thriller because that’s mostly what I read. If that’s what you enjoy as well then great! If not then let me know in the comments what some of your favorites are!

Best books of 2021

I feel like this year I have a lot more to add to my favorite list. I’m not really sure if that’s because this year I was a little lenient or if I was better at picking books I knew I would enjoy. Or maybe it’s a little bit of both because COVID has made me realize I shouldn’t be so harsh and be a little particular about what I pick up. What have been some of the best books of 2021 to you?

Christmas Horror Books

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! With Christmas rolling around the corner I wanted to be able to talk about Christmas Horror Books.

I know Christmas is supposed to be happy and have Christmas spirit. On top of that, it’s usually the time for good-natured books that revolve around Christmas. Those types of books are not for me.

Christmas Horror Books

Don’t get me wrong though I do love happy books ones that revolved around Christmas are a bit cheesy to me. Granted I feel like part of that reasoning is working in retail because I always enjoyed Christmas before then. No, I rely on scary Christmas books to kind of get my little taste of Christmas.
