Stolen Tongues: Horror or Hype? My Unfiltered Opinion Horror Book Review | Book Club | Ep. 104
@hellobesteapodcast   "Stolen Tongues" by Felix Blackwell is a horror novel by Felix Blackwell, originally published as a viral series titled “My Romantic Cabin Getaway” on the NoSleep subreddit, which later gained popularity as a self-published book in the indie horror community. The story centers on Felix and his fiancée Faye, who travel to a secluded mountain cabin to celebrate their engagement, only to be tormented by inexplicable voices, unsettling noises, and supernatural phenomena that focus particularly on Faye's sleep disorder.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35524932-stolen-tongues   Felix Blackwell first posted the story in the NoSleep community as a series of entries inspired by his fiancée’s real-life sleep disorder. The original thread quickly amassed a following for its blend of supernatural horror and psychological suspense, characterized by a slow build of dread and ambiguous threats lurking just outside the cabin. The story’s popularity led to its expansion and eventual release as a full-length novel and even inspired an upcoming feature film adaptation.https://thewilsonbillboard.com/2025/04/from-forums-to-publishing-a-chilling-internet-horror-story/ 📚 Upcoming Reads: The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé The Amendment by Kiersten Modglin   📧 DM, email: [email protected].

Living Your Last Day: No Regrets? | HBP Book Club Discussion | Ep. 103
 @HelloBesteaPodcast  Imagine a ticking clock, not a regular day, but your very last. Would you spend it frantically checking off a bucket list, or savoring every mundane moment you usually rush past?   They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera is a young adult contemporary novel set in a near-future version of New York City where an organization called Death-Cast can predict when people are going to die and notifies them by phone on the day of their death. The story follows two teenage boys — Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio — who both receive a call informing them that they will die within the next 24 hours.​https://vickywhoreads.wordpress.com/2017/09/03/drc-they-both-die-at-the-end-by-adam-silvera/   The novel explores mortality, love, friendship, and the value of living authentically despite life's unavoidable end. With alternating points of view, Silvera delivers an emotionally charged narrative that celebrates human connection and the urgency of embracing life while it lasts. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33385229-they-both-die-at-the-end   Upcoming Reads: Stolen Tongues by Felix Blackwell The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé 📧 DM, email: [email protected].
