    You’ll enjoy Perverts

    What did you think of the stories?

    Personally, I loved how the short stories were separated into individual chapters, but still remained interconnected, as you continued to read–really playing with your mind on who you should consider the main characters of the stories to be. Also, the element of fire and the thread of “Los Angeles is burning” was very clever to tie them all together to heat up the hellish endeavors you read throughout the book.

    Did the book live up to your expectations?

    Indeed. I was immediately hooked upon the first story (There’s no “I” in Threesome) and from there, I just couldn’t put the book down…

    How was the reading XP?

    Honestly, I’ll be the first to admit that the experience was exhilarating…like, woah! There were scenes that were just raw and real, and I FELT THEM! Holy cow, this was definitely a visceral experience in so many ways…

    Adam Cosco does one hell of a job switching between depraved horror and explicit sexual content, exquisitely. Kudos to you, sir, truly for that weird and wild ride 🫣

    Would you recommend to other souls?

    (Y)/N

    1000% yes, but be warned ⚠️… this is dark, disturbed and depraved–but in the most gloriously absurdity imaginable!

    I want to thank you, Boils and Ghouls, for taking the time to read my honest ARC review of Perverts, as well as Adam Cosco himself, for sending this ghoul an advanced copy to read.

    Please keep your eyes peeled πŸ‘€ for when Adam’s book releases this September!

    Until we meet again,

    I.M.P.O πŸ’­

    in my pǝssǝssod personal opinion

    What did you think of the story?

    Cleverly written and very captivating, especially because you are essentially reading the transcripts of a recorded conversation between two people the entire time, Sabrina and Maddie, to understand the entire premise, along with brief intersections of ongoing news reports to give you the full context.

    Did the novella live up your expectations?

    Totally, and then some… as I was left guessing until the very, very end, truly just who’s past I was really learning about… (which I thought was a very clever magic trick for this novella to perform, and succeeded in doing.)

    How was the reading XP?

    I really enjoyed how the story was deliveredβ€”through found footage-style news articles, video clips and the transcripts of recorded phone callsβ€”although, I did find that made it harder to latch onto the multiple directions we were going within the story, to learn the truth about Sabrina’s past.

    I did find after revisiting some of my highlighted portions that it really connected for me. So kudos George for really captivating my morbid curiosity way after my reading XP; making me very engaged in truly comprehending what I just read and eager to connected those cosmic dots…

    Would you recommend to other souls?

    (Y)/N

    Absolutely.

  • Upcoming Morbid Curiosities For August 2025

    Β·

    , ,

    Let’s continue the Summerween spirit πŸ‘»πŸŽƒ with some more unsettling spooky treats!

    As we say goodbye πŸ‘‹πŸ» to the last Sunday of July 2k25, we slowly creep towards August with much morbid curiosity…

    And I’m sure that’s exactly why you’re here, Boils and Ghouls, to learn about our upcoming adventures down into the darkest depths or unknowingly beyond the other side…

    Morbid & Mor(e)bid Curiosities | August 2025

    Oh hello, boils and ghouls… do we ever have ourselves in for some horrific scares this August! πŸ“šπŸ˜ˆ

    It was a close call for one of the book club picks 🫣 with multiple polls needed to finally select our scare, but we finally settled upon our two choices for next month’s morbid curiosities…

    Double the troubles 😈

    our August morbid curiosities await πŸ“š

    come see all the fun we have…

    Our August Morbid Curiosities πŸ’€ Book Club Reads Are…

    🌊 The Deep by Nick Cutter (2015)

    Goodreads book description

    A global plague (wait a minute, didn’t we just…) of unknown origin and no known cure? But, a possible discovery DEEP beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean…

    Yeah, I feel like this book will haunt my dreams for an endless amount of time after reading, due to my own personal fears and anxieties, but also, as I’ve heard that the writing style of Nick Cutter (moreso than his other alias, or real name, Craig Davidson) can truly get underneath your skin and isn’t for the faint of heart!

    πŸͺ΅ Knock Knock, Open Wide by Neil Sharpson (2023)

    Goodreads book description

    I’m such a fan of the location, the Celtic folklore surrounding the story and also how it centered around a children’s TV show that isn’t quite how one remembers… (give me this Channel Zero Creepypasta vibe!)

    I’ll admit, I wasn’t familiar with this book until one of our Morbid Mavens put it on my radar when thinking about suggestions for August, but I’m so glad that we are tackling this one as a group, because I feel there will be so much to unpack once the book it opened…

    🎬 Behind the scenes

    I’m floored with how many Morbid Mavens have begun flocking into our haunted clubhouses these days, and it fills my creepy heart up with so much love!

    We now are reaching over 385 engaged and eager souls haunting the halls of the clubs, just ready to read the darkest and most disturbed Horror books available.

    For August, we had 17 suggestions to narrow down to our Morbid Eight 🎱 and as always, we welcome our trusty/crusty Cursed Wheel to guide our selections…

    our cursed wheel of names (using the month’s graphic image)

    I also used the cursed wheel to determine where to put the Morbid Eight 🎱 amongst the two haunted clubhouses…

    While I had my heart set on reading Lost in the Garden for August, I was happy to see Paradise Rot made it to the Mor(e)bid Curiosities book club poll!

    However, as we know from previously reading, that paradise will have to be left rotting, for now…

    The Morbid 8 🎱

    It was almost impossible to decide between two books in one of our clubs that we had to post another poll just to decide between them…

    first round results 31% tied
    posted the second poll to choose between The Deep & The Rotting Room

    That fight did not let up in our second poll either, Boils and Ghouls, with many of us Mavens just sitting and waiting to see the final results…

    And… with 51% of the Mavens making their final decision, we all are going on quite the journey next month with these Horror books!

    As our saying goes, “…the mor(e)bid, the merrier…” so if you like book clubs and want to check out the Fable app, we would be happy if you could…

    Until we meet again,

    Do YOU have a π–’π–”π–—π–‡π–Žπ–‰ curiosity?

    Are you ready to jump into The Deep?
