Oh, 'It Bears Repeating' is by Sam Costello—a name I scribbled in my notebook after binge-reading the series last winter. His style’s so distinct; it’s like he’s whispering a secret just to you. The stories are short but punchy, often leaving me staring at the ceiling, replaying them in my head. I adore how he uses everyday settings to build tension, turning something mundane into a source of dread. If you haven’t read his work yet, start here. It’s the kind of comic that makes you text friends at midnight going, 'YOU NEED TO READ THIS.'
Sam Costello wrote 'It Bears Repeating,' and honestly, I’ve been low-key obsessed with his approach to horror. It’s not about jump scares or gore—it’s the kind that creeps up on you, like a thought you can’t shake. The way he structures the narrative in this series feels like a spiral, looping back to moments that gain new meaning each time. I first found his work through a recommendation in a niche forum, and it was one of those 'why isn’t this more popular?' moments.
What’s cool is how he blends genres, too. There’s horror, sure, but also elements of drama and even dark humor. His background in writing for podcasts (he’s done some chilling audio dramas) probably adds to that layered storytelling. If you’re tired of mainstream horror tropes, Sam’s stuff is a breath of fresh air.
I stumbled upon 'It Bears Repeating' a while back when I was deep into exploring indie comics and lesser-known graphic novels. The author, Sam Costello, has this knack for crafting stories that feel both intimate and unsettling—like he’s peeling back layers of everyday life to reveal something eerie underneath. His work in this series blends psychological horror with slice-of-life moments, and it’s stuck with me ever since. I love how he plays with repetition not just in the title but in the themes, making you question memory and reality. If you’re into stuff that lingers in your mind long after reading, Sam’s stuff is a must.
Funny enough, I later discovered he’s also behind 'Split Lip,' another anthology that’s equally gripping. His storytelling has this raw, almost conversational tone that pulls you in. Definitely an underrated talent in the horror comics scene.
If someone would ask if series of unfortunate event is true, I volunteer to testify.
For three decades, I have been unlucky with everything - love, family, career, success. And I blame loving Albert for all these misfortunes.
Until one day, I was given a chance to do everything all over again. I woke up in my eighteen-year old body... The day before I met Albert.
When I was being harassed by the Romano family’s consigliere, my fiancé, Don Luca of the Villani family, was busy kissing and drinking with Gianna at a party.
To secure the partnership, I had no choice but to drink the glass the consigliere pressed against my lips.
My stomach churned violently, and I could barely breathe.
However, Luca never once looked at me.
Instead, he focused entirely on picking the lime slices out of Gianna’s drink, coaxing her gently into finishing it.
Once the party ended, Gianna casually mentioned she was bored, and Luca immediately made me get out of the car so he could take her bar-hopping afterward.
“She’s been helping me manage the accounts lately, so I’m taking her out to relax.
“You don’t even like bars, so don’t come along.
“And I’m staying with her tonight until she has fun. So we’ll postpone the wedding again, since I can’t make it to the church tomorrow.”
Our wedding had already been delayed for eight years. This was the ninety-eighth time Luca had canceled it on his own.
I simply nodded.
Since he was always too busy, maybe this wedding didn’t need to happen.
Stanley Hamilton and I were basically Southport's favorite hate-watch couple.
For Elodie—my oh-so-perfect adopted sister—he wrecked my company and had my parents thrown in prison.
I, in turn, drove Elodie to her death, making him watch as she jumped off a rooftop.
Our forced marriage? Just a slow ride from mutual disgust straight into mutual destruction.
Then came the car explosion. Stanley, who'd hated me forever, still used his last breath to shove me out of the blast.
"Vivienne Weston, one lifetime tangled with you is enough. If there's a next one, let's never meet."
He touched the tattoo of Elodie's name on his neck, smiling faintly as the flames took him.
After he died, I wandered through life half-dead myself until illness finished the job.
When I woke up in the past, staring at two betrothal contracts, I didn't hesitate—I picked the guy everyone swore was insane.
Stanley and my dad? I handed them right back to Elodie.
This time, I wanted no meetings, no memories, no strings. Ever again.

The author of 'Bear' is Marian Engel, a Canadian writer who really knew how to craft stories that stick with you. Her 1976 novel is one of those rare books that manages to be both controversial and deeply moving. Engel had this knack for exploring human emotions in ways that felt raw and real. 'Bear' isn't just some quirky story about a woman and a bear - it's a profound look at isolation, desire, and connection with nature. Engel won the Governor General's Award for this book, which says a lot about its impact. If you enjoy authors who aren't afraid to push boundaries, her work deserves a spot on your shelf.
I stumbled upon 'Once and Again' while browsing through a cozy little bookstore downtown, and it instantly caught my eye. The cover had this nostalgic vibe that made me curious. Turns out, it was written by Lauren Kate, who’s also known for her 'Fallen' series. Her writing has this poetic flow that really pulls you into the story. I ended up reading it in one sitting—it’s got that kind of addictive quality.
What I love about Lauren Kate’s work is how she blends romance with a touch of mystery. 'Once and Again' isn’t just a love story; it’s about second chances and the way past lives intersect with the present. If you’re into books that make you feel things deeply, this one’s a gem. Plus, her ability to create vivid settings makes the whole experience immersive.
