Yours Cruelly, Elvira

Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark

Published: 21, September 2021

Author: Cassandra Peterson

Genres: Arts, Comedy, Fantasy, Horror, Humor, Movies & Video, Photography, Science Fiction, Television


Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, the undisputed Queen of Halloween, reveals her entire story, complete with intimate bombshells, as told by the bombshell herself.

This is one of the best celebrity memoirs of all time, and it's about the woman who played Elvira, one of my favorite female characters, and she's only second to Morticia Addams as my favorite female character ever.

I loved the character she played but I had no idea about her writing skills and that is what blew me away. She is brilliant and she has many stories to tell. I was smiling and sometimes I was serious but overall I felt joy and happiness. Pages just moved between my fingers and the book was finished as if it was just a booklet even though it has almost four hundred pages and then I read it again in just two days. After that I watched some footage of Elvira to satisfy the urge to see her again and re-live the beautiful moments, I even watched her interviews on YouTube.

The writing style is as if you are sitting with the author in the same room and she is telling you about her life and she is really open about everything same as Elvira. So get ready for an amazing time with a person who is like an open book when it comes to her life and anyone who is involved in it.

You are going to find a lot of surprises and read about many megastars that had interaction with the author, some of this is going to shock you and make you see the smoke and mirrors of the place called Hollywood.

The audio of this book is amazing because it is narrated by Cassandra Peterson herself and that makes it even better. I recommend getting the audio with the book if you still don’t have the audible account because you can get the audio version for free with the free audible trial.

Synopsis:

“The woman behind the icon known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, the undisputed Queen of Halloween, reveals her full story, filled with intimate bombshells, told by the bombshell herself.

On Good Friday in 1953, at only 18 months old, 25 miles from the nearest hospital in Manhattan, Kansas, Cassandra Peterson reached for a pot on the stove and doused herself in boiling water. Third-degree burns covered 35% of her body, and the prognosis wasn't good. But she survived. Burned and scarred, the impact stayed with her and became an obstacle she was determined to overcome. Feeling like a misfit led to her love of horror. While her sisters played with Barbie dolls, Cassandra built model kits of Frankenstein and Dracula, and idolized Vincent Price.

Due to a complicated relationship with her mother, Cassandra left home at 14, and by age 17 she was performing at the famed Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas. Run-ins with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Tom Jones helped her grow up fast. Then a chance encounter with her idol Elvis Presley, changed the course of her life forever, and led her to Europe where she worked in film and traveled Italy as lead singer of an Italian pop band. She eventually made her way to Los Angeles, where she joined the famed comedy improv group, The Groundlings, and worked alongside Phil Hartman and Paul "Pee-wee" Reubens, honing her comedic skills.

Nearing age 30, a struggling actress considered past her prime, she auditioned at local LA channel KHJ as hostess for the late night vintage horror movies. Cassandra improvised, made the role her own, and got the job on the spot. Yours Cruelly, Elvira is an unforgettably wild memoir. Cassandra doesn't shy away from revealing exactly who she is and how she overcame seemingly insurmountable odds. Always original and sometimes outrageous, her story is loaded with twists, travails, revelry, and downright shocking experiences. It is the candid, often funny, and sometimes heart-breaking tale of a Midwest farm girl's long strange trip to become the world's sexiest, sassiest Halloween icon.”

Verity

Published: 7, December 2018

Author: Colleen Hoover

Genres: Adult, graphic, Romance, Romantic Suspense, Suspense, Thrillers


A thriller mystery romance novel about a ghostwriter who is given the job of writing novels for a busy writer named Varity but finds something dark while researching the material for her job.

I was not expecting this kind of dark novel from an author like Colleen Hoover who mainly writes romance novels. It's bleak, graphic, and mysterious. The author perfectly captures the suspenseful aura and fast-paced action of a thriller.

I think the main plot twist was amazing but the ending may disappoint some non-fans and some fans alike but maybe it was intentional and it is better if I keep it to myself for the sake of keeping this review spoiler-free. I believe the writing was brilliant and the author is very clever to do what she did with this story.

As I am always saying, if you hate the characters, it means the writer has done his/her job perfectly so don’t hate the book and the writer for that.

As we can expect, it is not just all thrills and suspense, you are going to find a lot of romance in this story, simply because it is written by a romance author and mainly because the story demands it to be a thriller and a mystery with suspense.

Warning: 

This book is extremely graphic and intended for adult readers. This is without a doubt the most graphic novel I've ever read in this genre. It is creepy and suspenseful with a hundred percent adult theme that uses a language that is not for everyone.

Overall not a bad novel but for some readers, it is going to be a disappointment, so don’t read it with high expectations and especially don’t think about it as your typical romance novel. This way you are going to like it way better.


Synopsis:

“Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of the night their family was forever altered.

Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen’s feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife’s words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.

A standalone romantic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover.”

Godplayer

Published: May 1983

Author: Robin Cook

Genres: Medical Fiction, Medical Thrillers, Thrillers & Suspense


It's a medical thriller, like most of Robin Cook's previous work, that keeps the reader guessing until the very end and teaches a lot about medicine and the crimes that go along with it, making you think twice about going to the doctor after reading any of these books.

The book that made me a fan of Mr. Robin Cook was his first book “Coma” and after that, I never missed any of his books and I actually learned a lot about medicine and some procedures as if I am getting a short course in this profession because the author is an actual doctor and he knows how to combine both and create amazing stories that are scarily close to our reality.

This is a fast-paced thriller with mystery and suspense, but I didn't think it was as good as the author's earlier books, and it was my own fault because I went into this book with high expectations. The book and tale are fantastic; however, the finale was a little disappointing. Still a fantastic page-turner from a fantastic author. Don't worry; the book is wonderful; just don't have high expectations or you could be disappointed; otherwise, it's a fascinating, captivating, and delightful read.

Synopsis:
“Cassandra Cassidy, a beautiful psychiatrist, attempts to stop the mysterious killings of terminally ill patients as she struggles to save her crumbling marriage to Thomas Kingsley, a charismatic cardiac surgeon”
